should I go for C/R OOP 200bb here? or its better to play CC in these spots because hearts doesn't give us nuts? and unless we hit K or J we don't wanna play for stacks?

I think I would be inclined to check call here. Check raising doesn't put us in a spot to get stacks in on the turn / river. It just creates a bloated pot out of position and we don't have clear turns to bet after the check raise. The off suit 2 3 or 4 is about it in terms of bricks. Hearts give us 2nd nuts, Jx nut full, 9 2nd nut full, anything 5678TQKA is not helpful.

It looks like a possible check raise spot given the supposed strength of your hand (top 2 2nd nut flush draw) but thinking through the turns where we don't know where we are at it is better to check call. Expect the turn to go check check a lot as the outs that don't help you will likely also concern your opponent.

I feel like you should be respecting the reverse implied odds in spots like that. The fact that your hand has a very limited potential when it comes to drawing to the nuts is far less important in HU spot CO vs BB than it usually would be, but you're also OOP so I feel like raising here would get you into a lot of unpleasant turn and river situations.

Lastly, for future reference, I'd be very happy if you could adhere to the thread naming scheme described in THIS topic. Thanks in advance.

Feel like we will have to hard time playing turn and river to c/r. Im fine with leading and c/c. If we had some better side cards i would be more inclined to go for c/r even tho we dont make the nuts on many cards. but we can still push EQ and we can still deny him from lots of EQ.
