fold pre.

as played its tough because he 3 bet pre and you cant really two barrel an A or K which might normally be scare cards and good for you. Obviously youre loving a Q or 7 but if you raise flop, which would be my normal draw play, he may not believe you have a flush if a heart comes. And on a call you arent really getting odds so I may just fold

 I think I fold pre and elect to just call flop as played as we may have less FE vs. with a flush draw out there and our OESD is pretty hidden. I can see merits to pushing flop. As played fold turn. Would anyone like shoving over a bet on any Q,7, heart turn? Or is that just too dumb?

well if the turn came Q or 7 you would then have the nuts and would be shallow enought hat shoving teh turn is likely the best play for all the money in the pot

here is the thing about shoving a heart...raising a heart turn hard could be a good play if the stacks were deep but at this point if the heart is an under-heart you are somewhat likely to get a crying call from AA KK QQ because the villian would be calling i dont know 15 to win 50 or something. 25nl is just kinda hard to bluff at.

 yeah the whole point was about the heart coming down, should have explained that more. And you are right, I don't think you can bluff too often at those stakes.
