Tough hand.

I play it like you, I think.

Raise turn...both seem weak

I think I would c/f the flop.
The BB may fire out a big bet on the turn and you would probably have to fold without the flush or straight. The MP1 player (I suppose the BB could have A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) might be on a bigger flush draw than you - you might end up losing your entire stack. If you do make your flush, then I think another heart on the board will kill allot of the action if no one else has made the flush.

I like it. I lead the flop with a more powerful draw.
