this felt weak, villain is a bit loose but quite tenacious in largish pots.

I'd say its a good play. you may want to raise the flop to try and take it down right there. He'll let you know where you stand. Good fold on the turn

definitely not after someone else calls. now a free card raise is another issue.. but i'm not liking it here without a heart in hand. too many out killers can drop on the turn. just peel cheap and ditch on most turns UI.

Makes sense... Don't think you have much to go for at the river, unless of course he is bluffing. But since he's just a bit loose and coming out of the BB its real ahrd to put him on a hand. I think you are better off folding just as you did.

But how about folding the flop (a bit fit or fold strategi, but is it very wrong to do so.?)

Looks alright to me.

I'll sometimes raise if there isn't the caller. However, callers can't be bluffing. Nice hand.

This hand is crying reverse implied odds from the flop onwards. You played it well.

The odds of improving are 7:1, but in your case the A/K of hearts showing up would be bad news. You have to discount those outs, meaning your down to 4. This puts you at 11:1 on a weak draw. Your not drawing to a gutshot straight but TPTK.
There is also 3 hearts on the board so you could be toast already.
Drawing to Overcards can be ok, but not with that board.
Good Fold!
