Hi, how do you guys think this hand should be played optimally?

R-bet flop to get him to fold 22-99,JJ,QQ,KK, all his premiums without any aces in them? and if he 3bet all in call off?

Just call his c-bet, hope to turn a heart? if not give up?

I think by calling we're losing too often.. What do you guys think?

Given hero's stacksize + CO stacksize + small c - bet, I'm going all in here quite happy. Pot is already big enough if he folds and if he doesnt, we're almost flipping.
I dont like your flat pre at this stacksize though.

pre is fine and just call now. We can certainly raise some of our flush draws now but don't see a great reason to yet with this one. If villain is betting more flops than he should we can start to consider expanding our c/r range.

So call flop cbet and check fold if turn is a brick?

You can lead some turns (like a T) if you think he's over cb'ing the flop, aswell as you could x/r the flop. If not, just fold the turn if he barrels again.

Why are we folding to the 42% pot turn bet?

It would be -EV to continue with a flush draw

I realize it is hard to extract if we hit, and hard to bluff it we miss. Maybe it is fold, but it seems close getting 3.3-1 immediate odds.

I think it's a call. If he has an A, we will get one more bet out of him some % of the time to warrant a call on implied odds and if he does not have an A, the additional 3 Js might give us a winning hand.
