You don't need to bet as much, I'd go closer to 300 but still played fine either way.

CO could have called with 55, 44, 33 or really tricky with KK, maybe even A2, and yeah, many players would check top pair on that flop... but otherwise nothing to fear. I'm guessing someone fired back once you bet the turn?The bet isn't terrible in size. 1/2 pot to 2/3 pot is generally about the size you want to make it if you don't want multiple players calling light to see the river. The difference between 325 and 400 isn't incredibly huge given the blinds within the next couple of levels. IMO if you can't comfortably bet at least half the pot on that turn, then you shouldn't bet it at all.

Continue on the flop for about 1/2 to 3/4 pot and if you get any action you can adjust accordingly. Alot of people slow-play TP/TK in hopes to check-raise here.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^thisI really hate the check on the flop. You give a lone Ah plenty of reason to stick around to the river if another heart turns, plus hes got the 3 ace outs. You also want some better information if theres a K out there.
