My thoughts on this hand:
I led out with a semi probe bet but thought there was a decent chance I had the best hand. When the villain smooth called I was almost positive he had Ahx(x most likely K or Q, AhJ almost certainly raises, as does any overpair even without a heart probably). A flopped flush was possible I thought but the turn bet seemed a little too large and I went with my gut on this one. Good, bad, ugly? Comments appreciated on all streets.

I would have liked to have seen you lead out on the turn vs. checking. Villan's bet looks like he wants to take the pot down... which prompted your push. I would have taken another stab on the turn, the checked and re-evalu on the river. It's early, and there's no need to put your entire stack at risk so early. nh

Looks fine to me.
That turn bet is suspicious on his part. Maybe a set or an overpair without a heart.
Think about it, if you flopped the flush you'd probably play it in similar way. The turn checkraise looks scary. As it were, if my guess is right you still have flush outs and maybe the other Ts. If he's got a big heart he's gotta think hearts are his only outs and he doesn't want to play for his stack on just a flush draw.

what was the buyin?

[redrooski24]

Sorry, this is a $55.

Check-raising all-in on 4th has the following 2 drawbacks:

1 - If he is drawing to the nut flush he can check for a free card

2 - You are putting all of your chips on the line with the BB still at 15 and a very dangerous board.

A possible senario here is that he has Jacks, and he's worried about the hearts too (called flop, raise 2/3 pot on 4th) and your all-in scared him into believing that you were not drawing at the flush, but you had already made it.

If so, you may have gone all-in with the worst hand and gotten him to lay down.

This was a crafty play and a good read on ur opponent, but again, there is just something I do not like about making a check-raise on 4th that is ONLY going to be called if you are already beaten.

Leading out with a bet on 4th quantifies your hand (giving incorrect odds to the potential flush drawer too.) I'd let it go if he re-raised me. I'd rather live to play another hand.
