With all the people who called me preflop, I can see them having anything from JTo to 2 hearts.

What play mazimizes my EV, check call and look to fill up? Is there a better way to play this hand?

Try to get to the river cheap and hope the board pairs. If it does - push.

And yes, raise much more preflop at any limit. 3xbb sucks.

Get the money in on the flop.

Stop slow playing and milking hands. It's not the path to poker riches.

This is a good flop to get action.
When deciding what your bet should be look at how it likely hit others in the hand. Get used to considering flops from a money making perspective. Consider that it is very likely there are Ks, Qs, Js, Ts in peoples hands. Many (if not all, depending on how tight they are) are coming along for the ride if you bet…even up to pot size. Bet it, they will call. Finally, consider that you could be behind and only drawing to a boat [thinking JT here]. Don’t let that affect your bet too much but watch for raises to full pot bets, it would likely mean you are behind. (even if you are, there is 30% you will fill up to a boat by the river)

1: raise more PF for ALL your PF raises. [mine was $.10 at that level]
2: Don’t slow play. Consider what hands likely hit/on draws then decide if they would be willing to put money in.

When the flush takes hold, try and see the river for free/cheap. You are looking to fill up to a boat or you are dead. If you hit, push, the high flush will call. Don’t call a river bet if you don’t boat, somebody will have a heart.
Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL
