Villan called all three bets almost instantly. Was it right to bet for protection and not giving him any free cards?

I play this the same, this seems standard, though I am curious to what he would flat call all the way with like this? Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ? or some such

I'd be inclined to bet less on the river to induce calls from worse hearts.

Re: NL25 - Overpair -> Flushdraw ->Flush King high
 

Standard, although I probably bet $15 on the river.

i probably would have checked the turn and bet a small amount on the river

Re: NL25 - Overpair -> Flushdraw ->Flush King high
 

Slowing down on the turn would be okay (checking) and then calling river if he bet.
