2/5 1k max

$800 eff with EP. EP has been somewhat aggro in the pots he has raised pf, making pot sized bets. He also seems to have a tendency to bluff/punt his stack - he just rebought in for 1k. In this hand he just limps in.

3 limps to me in HJ, I limp, Btn ($330) raises to $30. SB calls, EP calls, I call with 79hh.

Flop ($130) : 5h 6d 8h
Ch, I bet $90. Btn and EP call.

Turn ($400): 10h
Ch, I'm not too concerned with Btn since he's somewhat short but how much to bet here? $250 or do we go bigger? Do we ever check here?

Would need reads on button to decide if donk is ok here. I do donk these textures but if btn is always cbetting then youve got a pretty clear check.

As played flop needs to be bigger. bomb these spots.

I think you just need to decide whether you are going to the felt. If so, then do it now, so it can look like a bluff with a flush draw. You may get looked up by 2 pair or a set. J9 w/ J

is having a hard time folding; same for QJ with one heart.

I think checking with the top of your range is probably wrong. If you think you may be able to get away, then bet half OTB's stack.

LOL if he's got big hearts, bink the 6 or J and tilt him forever. So much value. Sick sick spot.

Will EP ever bluff/raise here or raise w/o hearts? If not, bet $250-$300. If he has it in him to bluff, check.

If he will bluff at the hearts but fold worse, check.

Don't care at all about BTN right now.

I kinda like a check here. If betting i would make smallish. There are some problems betting this turn. we hate being raised and we should be getting a lot of folds ott. It depends tho. If he is real sticky and passive i would bet something like 145.
