How did I play this? Push the turn? bet how I did? Check the turn?

was the river card left out intentionally? you played it okay. I think i either bet 300 on turn or check (checking is too risky, villain will certainly fire at the river if you check turn,then you have no idea of where you are at, I would bet 300 and check behind on river). I think his minimum bet on the flop is either a way of keeping the pot small or possibly a made flush trying to slow play while still getting chips going into the pot.

River card was a 10 of diamonds, so the 4th flush card did not hit. It was not left out intentionally, I am having a lot of trouble with this hand converter.

Your betting is way too small. In general (against good opponents), your bet size should be based on the texture of the flop. You're giving the obvious flush draw really great odds, so your raise is pretty bad, IMHO.

I raise to t500 on the flop, maybe t600 even.

You basically have to ignore that the BB bet only 50 into that flop. Personally, I think it's an excellent bet on his part if he's on the flush draw, as some people with TPTK will forget about the size of the pot and only raise 3-4 times his lead bet, thus giving him the odds.

make sure you have the converter set to 2+2, but it may just be having some problems

i think you played it good although i raise 50 more pf(but thats being nitpicky) and raise more on flop, if he calls i think im betting 2/3 pot on turn and betting again on river if no heart comes

but i think it was played out fine except bet sizes

Important to clarify that that's a really big deal here.

Villain had Q10 offsuit (no hearts) to win the pot with a boat. I guess I saved myself chips by betting less. It'd be interesting to see a heart come out on the river. If he would have checked I may have made a push at it, but he may have called anyway beings it's a $2 donkfest.
