How am I supposed to play this turn?
I call flop intending to call down. The turn brings a third heart and calling feels weak. If the 4th heart comes on the river I can´t call a bet. I could fold but there´s a reasonable chance I have the best hand. So I go for a free showdown raise (something I rarely do).
I'm never folding this turn, nor am I ever raising it. (I hate free showdown raises.) I the river, you can probably fold in case a heart comes. It's allowed to fold a pair if the board get's really nasty.

As I'm sure you're aware you risk folding the best hand with a free showdown raise. It may seem unlikely your good when he 3 bets this turn but there is a chance he's doing this with a lone heart or straight draw, especially BvB.
I'd call the turn and fold a heart river and possibly a 9, T, 5 river but then I don't show down enough.
To all, would it be correct to fold a 9, T, or 5 river?
