I'd call against a loosey donk.

He's likely moving in with your lack of aggression &amp; his single heart.

You have to ask yourself: "Why am I checking the turn."

You should be $30 and bet the same on the river assuming no heart or straight card.

He called a pot sized bet on the flop.
I'd fold.
Granted, after the check from hero on the turn . . .
Would someone recommend overbetting the flop?
(I guess Doyle would ) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Or is betting the turn, as proposed by the last poster, the best play?

And if so, how much?

I mean what's the amount that you would pick to bet on the turn which you would absolutely give it up if raised but you think would cause a drawing hand to fold?

Pot again?

The way I would play it in retrospect is to block the turn for 2/3 pot. If he calls its check/fold. I think a made flush is going to try to extract value, there is no way that push is a flush, more like turned two pair.

I never overbet my sets because I WANT action. My standard on a drawing board is pot. The only thing that can call correctly is a combo draw with overs for the coinflip.
