Bet $0.60 for pure value, villain can call with any Ace, flushdraw, 54, 64, 66-99.
To the check advisors, assume we check, a heart hits on the turn and villain leads for $0.60, can you fold?
So we call that turn bet and the river doesn"t pair the board, villain leads for $1.50 into the $1.90 pot, call or fold?
edit to add: if the flop was say, 3c 5h 5s we now should probably check behind, it is less likely villain holds a hand that can call and our hand is not as vulnerable.

Have to bet when you hit, wasn"t that the plan? Against only one opponent you"re hoping he"s planning a check raise with an ace, and flop"s a bit wet tbh. Stick 50p in there and start building that pot.

This is a good point and not just with an Ace, a semi competent player will know that you should cb this type of flop 100% (to rep an Ace) so we are check raised here somewhat often when villain holds any Ace, any draw, pp"rs 66-99 and sometimes complete air,

if we bet and they fold, OK we win the hand right here, but we"ve won a small pot with a big hand. Surely that isn"t the agenda when you hit a big flop?
how scared are we/should we be of the 2 hearts?

What is your plan then if he does check/raise? You would expect him to make it about $2 I guess.

And if we check behind, say a blank arrives on the turn and it gets checked to you again -are you checking again?
If they have nothing they"ll probably fold to the first bet, if they have something they"ll probably call a flop bet anyway.
You can"t win a big pot with a big hand unless you put chips in the pot.
If they have nothing or they"re scared off by the ace then it"s just bad luck.
You could be unlucky and they have nothing to call with or you could be unlucky if you let them draw to a bigger hand.
I"d rather be unlucky and win a small pot rather than be unlucky and lose a big pot.
