NOTE: The SIDE POT is 658 and I base my bet on that amount instead of the entire pot for 3 reasons.
1. Its early and I think I am extracting value.
2. Unless he flopped VERY well, he will be way behind. A heart draw at best.

I escape here, knowing he has at least 1 heart. Based on his check turn, I bet he has 2 hearts.

Yes, way differntly.
I don't raise 888, I raise more like to 1111...
Then I bet the flop and turn until he folds.
I raise bigger as well, plus the 500 on the flop bet was smaller then the preflop bet, looks very weak and may give a random Q confidence.
Nice read...
I think you should start a podcast like the old Lord Admiral boys...
We expect a full trip report in vegas..
No way I am checking behind on the turn there. Even though you saved money by doing so in this hand, I think you lose money over the long run playing this way and allowing the one-card flush draws to possible get there on the river.
I also probably raise a little more but I don't think that was the issue with this hand.
It's funny about that turn check. I was thinking the same thing. It worked this time, but I gave up the hand there and most times, I should not. I really had a read that if he checked that turn, he had a made hand because he struck me as a player who would be the flush draw on the turn.
I raise more preflop to isolate or build a big enough side pot to push on the flop. I figure a raise to 1200 will do. Then, if he calls, you have a roughly 2k sidepot and you can comfortably ship your stack on the flop and push out most players to protect your hand and take what is already a sizeable pot. On the flipside, of course, if he flops two pair or a set, you are busto, but in the grand scheme of possibilities, more often than not, you are taking down a 2k+ pot with the flop push.
