How to play this hand

I had been sucked out on in a previous hand, chips were low ....
FENAS939 is a total fucking Donk playing crap all night
Titão888 is a calling station
SmishilaevAS seemed solid enough

All fucking hearts ! whats your move ?

djgolfcan

you had 30bbs to start the hand and have flopped top two pair.

Bet half to 2/3 pot, if heart doesnt come on turn, ship it.

I know that frustration...but this is the perfect time..

I raise to 2-2.5x pre..no need to scare the donks away and it preserves some chips if we don't hit.. On the flop, I am 1/2 potting (my standard cbet) and hoping to get raised.. And as dj said..jamming turn if the heart doesn't come and we haven't already gotten it in..

It's a $2 MTT. You could 100x on the flop and somebody is calling.

Push the flop if you want to gamble, but you are probably already behind and drawing real thin.

Check/fold if you want t keep playing.

Well I figured it like this if someone has two hearts then Im guaranteed to hit a FH
However if someone had a straight draw they were guaranteed to hit against me .. at least thats my understanding of Poker stars ... Here is how it played out
