No poker tracker but table has been pretty LAG/AGGRO lots of preflop and post flop action.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (3 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Hero ($9.95)
SB ($11.95)
BB ($21.10)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises to $0.4, SB calls $0.35, 1 fold.

Not sure what the optimal play is? Any suggestions appreciated.

Flop: ($0.90) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.5, SB raises to $1, HERO??

High variance but can 3bet/get all in and if you are against a TPBK hand you are a slight favorite. Two pair and sets you still have over 30% equity. Include fold equity in this hand and you can play it for a 3bet. It kinda depends on the villan and if you can get paid off when the next heart hits the turn, since villan gave you great odds to just call right now.

I dont like the villans miniraise here but you also didnt state what that means. Your really only in hotwater against a set, and I usually dont mind playing for stacks with a pair + flush draw assuming the flush card ace it out (in my hand or on board). I prefer to have the TP+nut flush draw which helps a bit more.

Well I wouldn't push here, just make a standard size 3bet to $3-4 and call a push if it comes to that.

Milky, thanks for the reply as I have played a few sessions against you(if you play pokerstars).

My first thought was to push so if I got a call I would get to see the turn and river. If I just reraise and then get called I probably have to fold to a bet on the turn if a non heart falls with half my stack invested. Not sure if this is correct thinking!

Thanks again for the advice.

I'd 3bet to 4 or 5 and call a shove.

Just call. You have 9 outs at best right now and your equity will change drastically on the turn.

edit: Oops I read the hand too quickly and didn't see that we had middle pair along w/ the FD. That makes me more ok w/ trying to get it in on this flop, but I prefer a 3bet to see how serious his min-raise is first.
