Top 2 on monotone board, standard?
 

No history with villain, and his stats are over 23 hands. So no PT stats either..

Looks ok, but wouldn't raising flop be better?

Do you easily fold to a turn heart?

Unless villain limped UTG with Ax K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Ax Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or possibly Ax J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], a flop raise allows villain to play perfectly.

Yes, I fold to a turn heart if villain bets again. I bet if he checks.

Bad- fold turn. Looks like set or low flush.

True. Looks good to me

Re: Top 2 on monotone board, standard?
 

I like it waiting for the turn, nh. Villain probably isn't bluffing if he fires turn again (his range for leading the flop is generally a made hand or a flush draw, and if he fires a heart turn, then he's probably not turning the made hand into a bluff, leaving....a flush) on a heart, so you can safely fold in that spot. As played there are probably a lot of AxX[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hands he could have or even just naked hearts; people play flush draws really badly on monotone boards.

I think this is exactly how it should have been played.
