PF...meh i'd probally fold, in EP i hate these hands
Flop. I'd check/call. I'm not going anywhere but i doubt i can force people off a pair or a draw.
Turn- that card...is interesting...i'd really depend on my flop line.

If I was playing this hand, I'd bet 200-250 on that flop. You got a OESD and top pair right now, and conservatives most likely don't have anything here, maybe a flush draw. I'd rather try to bet enough to stop overcards from calling and seeing another card (some players still will anyways, but your bet isn't giving them good odds), and a big enough bet to discourage a flush draw from chasing.

The turn card is good and bad. It's good because you now made your straight, bad because it puts a flush on the board, and anyone with a heart now has a flush draw. I'd lead out to the tune of 400, and if he raises here, then give him credit for the flush (an overpair here would have likely raised preflop, or at least on the flop, but an overpair with a heart might still be around (any pair below 99, so that is a possibility, as well as a set). You got a deep stack, so its not going to hurt you to fire another bullet here, especially with your hand. Checking is the worst possible play here, because any flush is going to bet, and any non flush is going to bet, and you won't know which is which. Also, any flush draw might take the free card to see the river, which would be bad.

I'd bet 400 here, if he calls, bet again on the river, if he raises huge, throw it, if he raises but not too big, call it since you might still have the best hand here. If he calls, throw a blocking/value bet on that river, bout the same as the turn bet (400-500).

Crappy situation because if he made the flush or the straight he probably plays about the same, but if he didn't make a flush or a straight, he's behind and likely to be drawing live. I think you should lead and call a small raise, fold to a big one.

Bet more on the flop because there are a lot of scare cards in the deck.
