Raise it to 120 or something, just try to build the pot. Let them think they're priced in for their crappy draws or pairs.

Need stack sizes.

I probably raise because I need to know where the Ah is.

Scratch that, I can't read $5 players. Raise because any smaller flush will pay you down to the river and maybe even any flush draw, 2 pair, etc.

Oh yeah, the reason for raising I forgot to mention is b/c the bare A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and some pair/two pairs will call along, but if any other hearts hit you're losing your action from everyone but the nut flush.

Your goal here should be to get as much money in before the turn as possible. I'd make it 200 here.

That's a hard flop to miss. I'd make it 200 or so, fully expecting some action.

I make it 120 and everyone folds. Totally thought I was going to get at least one caller. Would a call be right here, especially early?
