AA on Nasty Board

[KeysrSoze]

I think that this may actually be a situation where raising the turn has more value than the flop. Seems more likely that someone will throw away a small heart when faced with a double turn bet (Edit: scratch this. if UTG bets into you again with a single low heart, he's not likely to fold when you raise him, and BB is very unlikely to have a small heart if he is as straightforward as we think), and versus the tricky but cautious BB you disguise your hand a whole lot better, where a flop raise screams AA or KK with a possible heart. He isn't folding a heart in any case, so you may as well get an extra half-bet from him on the turn when he doesn't have a heart and then goes into call down mode. About the only hand he'll play like this and fold the turn is AK-no heart, any high pp he's probably sticking around. That said he appears to have a high pocket pair, with or without a heart, or AKheart. No heart is folding now, we have a good showdown hand, It would suck to be check/raised, I'd check the river.
