My question here is about my flop shove - was that the most effective way to get value with the nuts here, or should I have just flatted the SB's c-bet on the flop? I was torn between the two options - shoving risks forcing everyone out of the pot, but flatting means letting him draw to hearts very cheaply, and my stack's small enough that if I don't shove on the flop, I can't raise without either giving the SB insanely good pot odds or leaving myself with a tiny amount behind to shove on the turn. Since SB 4-bet out of the blinds, it seems likely that he'd have fired again on the turn if I'd just tanked and then flatted his flop bet, but then if the turn was a heart I'd be in a tough spot.
