I like it. I check/fold the turn against a typical but given this guy's stats, you are ahead too much to consider folding. You don't want to call a raise on the turn so check/calling the turn and river are better lines. You also have a good chance of making him semi-bluff or completely bluff on these streets.

looks fine to me. whats your play if he raises you on the flop?

If i play the turn like that I call the river. Not real sure if it's correct.

I think this is fine vs. an aggro player who is capable of semibluff/bluff raising and who will almost always bet a heart or any other hand who you wouldn't want to give free card to. Call river.

Probably just call down. Flop raises don't mean so much, opponent-specific of course. Once the heart hits on the turn I'd think real hard about folding.

Against a player this aggressive I think your line is perfect and I call the river unless an Ace or a heart hits.

How would you have played it against an opponent not as prone to bluff/sem-bluff raise the turn? I think I would bet the turn and fold to a raise since I don't have the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but check-call the turn if I did have the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. But then what on the river..check/call or check/fold?

Thanks,

Yeah, against a morepredictable player i'd bet the turn since he could have peeled the flop with a straight draw, backdoors, gutshot, small PP, etc, and he will definitely call a turn bet with any heart.

The river I would check, and fold against passive players and call vs aggresive ones.
