What now? I know I am gonna get crap for the very very slow play on the flop but i wanted the call...so feel free to flame me for it.

Fold. Call? Reraise? (if so how much).

I gotta go to bed so here is rest of hand. Just how dumb was i? At this point I think he is either bluffing, or drawing to a fourth heart. But clearly I allowed myself to put in an uncertain situation. I assume I should have bet more on the turn as well. The flop was really meant to be a half hearted bet to convey a weak steal.
