Opp is a bad lag preflop, postflop he seems a bit passive, but I'm not sure. This is fine, right?

My turn and river lines just look so weak thats its very easy for villian to push me my hand

[vqc]

wuldnt leading out on the turn be worse than check calling on the turn?

Thats what I think too. I still dont like my turn and river line as a whole though - but maybe there just aint any better lines available in this spot.

nh, nothing you can do without a really good read

All you can do is pray for the board to pair. "Come'on just one time!!"

Actually, I don't mind leading the turn. It shows you are not afraid of the hearts, & it may be just enough strength to keep a non-heart player from bluffing you off your hand. You also have outs to the boat.

Block bet river? $20? Maybe too obvious. Check/Raise turn on a semi-bluff?

I guess it all comes down to the flop call. If he folds air to your $8 bet, then I guess you have to give it up when you don't boat.
