Also, FWIW, when converting, you can choose the format "FCP" and it gives you cute icons like :D.

I'm going broke on this hand. Get your money in the pot, get ready to enter double up or enter another tournament.I'd probably push on the turn when no heart hits. Let him chase his 1 in 5 shot.

I go broke on this hand if he has it...my money is likely in there on the turn.Yeah, he could have the flush or 76.Overpairs, two pairs and sets play it this way too though, as do busted flush and straight draws, and other bluffs.After the flop, he didn't improve to a hand that could beat you, so it's a lot of weight to put on him outflopping you.

I don't understand the lead for 1/5 of the pot. If you're going to lead on this board, which I think you have to, it needs to be 125ish. As played, I probably push on the turn when he overbets.

There's a lot of things I don't get about how you played this hand. I don't get why you would make a minimum bet on the flop. I also don't get why you would call a pot sized bet on the turn, and then fold to a pot sized bet on the river. Your hand hasn't changed. You're not even drawing to anything better. If you were ahead on the turn, do you really think 8c helped villain's hand?As played, I put in a hefty re-raise on the turn. Maybe even get it all in. That said, you'd know more about where you are if you made a real bet on the flop. I'd bet somewhere around 150 on the flop.
