Re: 8/16 turn decision

OK - minus a preflop raise you took a "standard" line. It's fine. But there are also a couple of other ways of playing this. Not saying better, just different. Reads would help determine best line.
Option 1: Call flop and raise a safe (non heart) turn. As played we're not providing a heart draw incorrect odds to draw. Raising the turn after a safe card makes it incorrect and saves us a small bet if the heart does show.
Option 2: Check the turn once the heart shows and get to showdown cheaply.
Both are "weaker" lines than you took and have some merit depending upon read and likely range of opponent. The lines aren't winning us the most but up against this flush draw we might be saving bets. Cheers!

Option one is bad, but option two isn't so bad, but I still think a b/f is better. If you can't really b/f(I can't with cards to come often) then line two is good in my opinion.
It's pretty tough to not get 4:1 on your money. It has to be like HU PF, flop gets checked and you're facing a bet on the turn, that's about it.
If there's even one flop bet you're getting odds or very close to it.
