I'm holding $190push or fold? It's obvious guy in the blind has a set, and the guy to my left clearly looks like he's going to fold.

15 outs. Youre a favorite against any hand besides a set. Even against two pair youre a small favorite. Pushing also gives you fold equity, creating potential dead money from LP (blind is almost certainly calling)

Working from your reads, we assume the set stacks off and the PFR folds:20 x 6 = 120 preflop 40 LP bet 190 amount raiser can bet --------- 350 = total pot350 / 190 = 1.8:1 (or about 35% pot equity to break even)You have 15 outs to a straight or flush (50%), but subject to the set making a full house. That makes your equity about 40% or 1.5:1, as has already been pointed out by trystero.Since 1.5 < 1.8, you make money on the call. Stated another way, you're trading $190 for 40% equity in a $540 pot ($216). So your call makes you $26 and a lot of variance.We especially don't want the PFR on bigger hearts:
Board: Kh 5h 3s Dead:  			equity (%)	  win (%)	tie (%) Hand  1:	17.2757 %	  17.28% 	00.00%	  { 6h4h }Hand  2:	20.4873 %	  20.49% 	00.00%	  { AhQh }Hand  3:	62.2370 %	  62.24% 	00.00%	  { 55 }

The main pot is $160 + $190 x 3 = $730 if you're covered both places. Your equity is only 17% of $730 or $126. So you'd in this case trade $190 for $126 equity, which makes a $63 loss. You're ahead if this happens less than about 30% of the time, which seems like a safe assumption. Make the call.

You are also behind 2 pair btw.As bad as it sounds, call. If you get 3 way action here you want your opponents to have sets/pairs/2-pair. It actually makes their outs to the boat worse, and makes your hand stronger. You want to gamble on getting LP in the pot. Pushing may scare him, but an extra $100 in a multiway pot of $380 may be callable for LP. Obviously chuck in your last $50 on any turn.
