    Since he is a regular i assume you have a history with him. I think an important read here would be how he sees you. by "3 betting light" i assume you mean with a wider range. I would guess he's doing this to isolate, either because he thinks you're loose or a weak fish that he can out play post flop.
    Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

    I'd be more inclined to flat call the turn here, as most opponents will not 3 bet a worse hand preflop, and then c-bet again on the turn. I think the check/raise allin doesn't do you any good and you won't fold AA or KK here so I think you're WA/WB.

    As long as he is willing to bet, I'd be willing to call. Maybe another heart will drop on the river or a scare card and you can put a nice blocking bet out there for a cheap showdown.

    Given the board texture, etc. I like a flop lead here.

    His raise range on the flop is wider than the range he's 3-betting, calling and maybe 2-barreling.

    We want to figure to have the best of it if all of the money goes into the pot.

    So basicly you lead for information?

    Information and to get him to raise light.

    At these stack depths a check/raise or check/call gives him too much power to get it all-in when he's good.

    But doesnt leading take away his rope? I mean if he's got missed overs I dont think he'll put a penny more in the pot if I lead and he's gonna bet with a lot of hands that I beat if I check the flop to him and thereby gaining more value against wiffed hands.

    I don't think you can get away here, but I like a 4-bet pf sometimes to mix it up.
