With 2 hearts on the board....no.

Thanks. That's what i was thinking, just had to get a reality check.

if the opponent is ab idiot, you're lookin for 4-1 pot odds to lay, and if they understand pot odds, you wanna give them at least slightly worse than 3-1 pot odds

(this stems from HOH, where Harrington states that hee believes the implied odds give him 3-1 for profitablilty, and I think that with 3-of a kind here, you're gonna call down some bets if the heart hits.)
