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.

I was thinking to keep the pot smaller so it would be more of an error for flush draws to call on the turn.

no. if you're not raising the flop it is because when the turn is a non-heart your equity goes way up.

forget about making them make errors and focus on what is the best move -for you-.
