Default $5/45 man, flop a mid-flush, stack getting short.

Villian is new. Thought about check/shoving the turn but was unsure about the small bet.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t2325)
SB (t4520)
Hero (t2415)
UTG (t885)
MP1 (t5015)
MP2 (t2615)
CO (t2710)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t600) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, MP1 calls t400, SB folds.

Turn: (t1400) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t200</font>, Hero calls t200.

Check shoving the turn is a terrible idea. Actually checking the turn is a bad idea in general. I'd make a smallish bet of around 400 and see what happens. If you get raised, you are likely beat.

By letting villian bet the turn, you are letting him represent the flush because you seem like you don't have a heart in your hand. So you check call a weak turn bet. Now on the river, its like WTF do I do, I have no idea what he has.
