Hit flush on turn with two left to act including raiser...

[SackUp]

I'm worried about the turn. I hate the check call. I think this a c/r or bet out. I convinced myself out at the time. I first wanted to bet out making sure it doesn't check through and even beter getting the aggressive bt to raise his Ace. Though a c/r could be good too to clean out a big heart if a fourth comes on the river. So I think bet out but could see a c/r. Thoughts?

CO is 33/0/.19 BT is 15/9/2.5

Am I missing something here?

Why are you not betting the flop or the turn?

And yes, you either have to bet out or c/r the turn. Seeing as how a c/r is unlikely to fold out any one-card draws that will beat you, I prefer betting out here. But check-calling is by far the worst thing you can do here, with the exception of folding.

Buttons gonna raise the flop...bet out and let your little passive MP3 get stuck for 2.

On the turn, the same...can't sweat the big heart, there's only 3 possible, and the ace, the most likely is gone. Plus there's only 7 hearts left in the deck, if an opponent has one. Bet, and hopefully even get a chance to reraise.

I think you played this hand fine - this is one case where NOT playing aggressive works to your favor by keeping people in the game.

A Bet would fold the guys looking for a straight of if they had an Ace.

NEVER be afraid of a higher flush - chances are VERY small.

Bet out, MP3 calls, button raises, now you've trapped money from MP3 and the button.

Isn't that more fun?
