I only have around 140 or so effective this hand just lost a previous hand and didn’t top off.
1/2 140 effective
Limp, H 12 with A7dd, btn and limper call
35 A96hhs, x, H 10, btn call
55 Qs H30, btn c
115 9x H ai 90
I think the only hand I lose to is AK or AQ thought a lot of 2 pair hands would raise at some point so I was really expecting to get him off a chop is this too optimistic or should we be just check calling and taking our showdown value

They're never folding a better hand -- the real question is whether you're blowing AX off a chop vs. collecting a bluff against a missed flushdraw. I'd personally check and hope to catch a bluff, but if you have reasoning on the button to say why you'd think they're likelier to have AJ than hearts here then okay.

Reads on Vs? V's likely reads on you?
Why are you downbetting a wet flop?
Biggest thing is reads, though. This line is extremely villain dependent. For the average LLSNL V, trying to get them off TP is burning money.
