No problem to me. You flop the nuts, he gets stacked, BFZ is ----> that way.

I think this is a pretty good amount, maybe a bit on the high end, but strong hands here will pay you off and mediocre hands are probably going to muck on a 2/3 or 3/4 PSB anyways on the turn

Bet $18+ on the flop. There's two hearts out there you need to charge and betting a tiny amount just because you flopped the nuts is a dead giveaway to anyone paying attention that this board hit you hard. No reason to overbet the pot on the turn either; pot's $51, make it $35-$40. The way you played this hand happened to work out, but it will only work when villain has a big hand like top two pair. If he had AJ or a heart draw he probably folds the turn, and you don't want that.

how much would you bet if you missed the flop? you need to bet the same amount whether you have a made hand or you are just making a cbet, this is how you create the image where noone can put you on a hand.

The same reason applies to playing your strong draws like you play a set, your play is too obvious if you always bet small when you hit a flop.

goofy I like the overbet on the turn, it looks suspicious as people don't expect someone to fast play a made hand like the nut straight, plus with the heart draw out there it makes the villian think that hero might be on a draw.
