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?

Your thinking is way off here Waz, take a stab at what range of hands villain defends with preflop?

Yeah, checking pretty much ensures you cannot win a big pot imo.
Even if Stu is correct (which he may well be) and our opponent has KQ or QJ then even if he hits on the turn how do you think the rest of the hand is going to play out.
I don"t THINK there is a good argument for checking on this flop (I could be wrong here).
Fatcatstu:
If has a flush draw and hits it, we are unlucky, but I would rather take it slowly on this wet a board and see how it pans out rather than just pump money in and lose more if the board gets worse. A bit nitty I know, but we don"t need to play for stacks on this type of board where we aren"t going to like a lot of turns?

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.

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

If opponent check raises that flop then I"m flatting behind. I believe my hand is ahead here, I have position and villain is helping me to build the pot. Only hand I"m behind to is 55 IMO. If heart drops on turn then re-evaluate.
Swinebag:
Just bet. No need to slow play. Draws and Ax hands call here.
By not betting you lose out on the chance of winning a bigger pot.
Checking is only fine if the stacks are shallower (like in a tournament situation) and the whole stack can be put in in 2 streets rather than 3.
