My first NL post. A2s in the CO.
 

This is my first NL post, so take it easy on me if I suck at NL/life. The players in question are very loose, but not that passive. They're not LAG, but they're not nits either.

UTG ($23.20)

This is a tough spot and I'm not sure if my advice is any good but this is what I would do.
I would call and not reopen the betting to MP3. See what UTG does and go from there. It's possible you're against a set and the A of hearts. Unfortunately you could also be against a made flush/higher straight. It sucks letting high hearts draw cheaply but I think its better than getting pot committed when you may be drawing dead.
I'd try and see the turn cheap and re-evaluate where I am at in the hand (i.e. fold to most turn scare cards if villains keep putting pressure on).

Agreed. I'm not going crazy with the @ss end of a str8 with this board. I think I'm calling reasonable bets on the turn and river with safe cards hitting. I just hope villians don't force me into a stack decision, cuz I'm probly folding if they do.
