Any other way you play this? Not upset about losing first I know it happens but just trying to get some advice.
Bet more on the flop. You priced in almost everything with your bet. Fortunately for you, some moron raised.
The rest of it, if you looked up "Standard" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of this HH.

I don't think the call was a bad play at all. The only hand that's beating you is a draw, so why not flat call and wait to see the turn before committing more chips? I might call here too and wait for the turn to come a high card that's not a heart. If it is a heart, and the action gets crazy, drop it. If it's a high card, bet the farm and bust someone.
Aside from that, what more do you want? You got all your money in with a 70/30 advantage, and caught a guy semi-bluffing. I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as you've got the bankroll to absorb a bust if it doesn't go your way
