The straddle seems to play pretty solid as far as I saw,
The HJ was a pretty weak player he seems to make a lot of mistakes with his betting.

On the turn I didnt think betting again would be the best approach as I have been called in two spots on the flop and the HJ has less than a pot size bet behind and im thinking if I do bet a lot of sizings will commit me to the pot.
When the HJ only bets 15% pot I think I have an easy call, I considered shoving but not sure what I would be repping or trying to fold out even though HJ does seem very weak here

Straddle folds on turn and it's heads up? If you are going to check turn then I would check jam vs this size. There is half pot left behind when you call. You say any bet you make will make you pot committed, but that's not a problem. You flopped a flush. If you're best you're beat. I do think you can get called by worse that will just check back river and v can have some hands with a single heart higher than T and some sets/two pair.
Flop bet size looks good. Checking turn feels like a pretty big error. You have a flush in a 3bet pot and you haven't yet faced any aggression, we should be looking to play for stacks here. With our 2 opponents' stack sizes the way they are (345 and 165 respectively), I like a turn bet of around 70-80.
As played now, it's become a bit awkward. I prefer jamming over the bet, for both value and equity denial. Another line I would consider is call, then go all in on any non-heart river. That feels inferior to jamming turn, though. I imagine HJ will check back a lot on rivers when you call turn. His tiny bet doesn't really suggest/signal to me he'll want to bet rivers very often.

Yeah I was probably just overthinking this hand. but think I played this one wrong on turn

Thanks I over thought this hand
It looks like it's a minimum of $2 to play.
Would you open 5x with T9s UTG+1? 2.5x?
