    Do you have any read at all? I only pull big bluffs with reads. Also at least bet a little more on the river to get more folds.

    Your only chance of winning is to bet the river. It seems to me that if villian was going to fold to a moderate bet, he was going to check/fold the turn when the third heart hit.

    Without a read, I don't think you can ever say he will fold even a baby flush here. He might fold a middle pair and no heart.

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    I don't like it. I don't think i'd've even called the flop.

    The two hearts and pair of sixes dramaticaly devalues your draw.

    As for the river your bet size is going to get a lot of "crying calls" because he only has to be right 1 in 3.5 times to call.

    Flop call is fine IMO. Hero can float, represent the flush/6 etc. I don't like the size of the river bet, although you'd probably bet the same with the Q or K

    I don't like the preflop call though. 75s never hits, so you have to steal a lot of MP which requires a decent read (he's weak or predictable preferably).

    Thats what I thought. I know myself I'm sometimes more likely to call if I think a bet is weirdly big.

    It's my favourite hand though so it's ok.
