    OK, no condescension or whatever meant here, and I am far from playing 25NL, but honestly, when you flat pre, you have to have a plan for the flop, especially for the hand that you are most likely to flop which is an overpair. If I understand correctly, the very reason you called his 3b is that you thought that you were ahead of his 3b range. With this flop, you still are ahead of that same range, and it is likely that he will cbet a lot when checked to, so for that reason, as kfaess said, I think I like c/c better. Besides you might even pick up some fold equity on a heart turn vs hands that beat you (and a lot of likely outs to a Q high flush when he calls your bluff).

    On the other hand, if your reason for calling was strictly to set mine, then you missed and c/f.

    The easiest way to avoid the tough spot is to fold pre and wait for reads, which correct me if I am wrong, you are much better off to have when you flat a 3b OOP (even IP FWIW). If over the next orbits the guy proves to be an 8/6 nit, you're going to beat yourself for your lost stack, right? Even to set mine, with these odds, you need very specific reads that he is going to pay you often when you hit.
