Kind of a big raise for this hand out of position, but not awful.

This is just confusing. You have about half your chips in the pot
already, with what is almost certainly the best hand out at the moment.
The board is drawish. Why not just move in right here? I certainly think
that would be far superior to calling and letting two people draw against
you.

This bet is baffling. You only have (by my count) about 3500 left. Why
would you bet more than half your chips, when the amount of your bet isn't
enough to rob anyone with a reasonable draw of adequate odds to hit?
You're offering the first person 5.5 to 1 on their money. If you didn't
push on the flop, now is certainly not the time to get cute.

Well, you might have got the same result anyway if you pushed the flop or
turn, but at least you could walk away knowing that you made your best
effort to play correctly.

Here's where you should push IMO. If either of them has a set, tough
break, but there's not enough chips in play to really find out.

Option 1: Bet the pot after the flop. This shows you have a ace and
hopefully push out any potential draws. But after reading your hand
summary, sounds like at least one of the 2 callers would have pushed
all-in anyway. Then you're left with a tough coin-flip decision. Either
your opponent hit trips or is on a draw.

Option 2: Check the flop and hope the other 2 callers check around
wanting to see a free card. When the heart doesn't land on the turn,
push all-in. This doesn't give them the correct pot odds to call and
try to draw their flush.

since you get your flush draw once in 3 times, and it's unlikely that the
push on flop, after you get raised, will make anyone fold.
obviously you should have open pushed the blank turn why would you bet
2000 into a 9100 pot to begin with ? you're giving 5.5-1 to the first
caller.

Considering the prize - t-shirt or hat - they probably played a lot
looser than normal.

I'm not sure that I'd be going all-in on a flush draw, especially not
having the nut flush (neither player having an Ah).

So - having said that - if I were you (a player who flopped top two
pair), I'd be happy to have all my chips in. With two hearts out,
however, I'd go all-in after the flop, hopefully pricing out the
possibility of any draw. At worst, you'd have to figure you'd be a coin
flip going to the turn. But a player can afford to be a maniac when
there's only a shirt (or hat) at stake.

Had there been a hooded sweatshirt at stake I'd say push on the flop
and end it. But for a T-shirt or hat you can afford to gamble a little.

Always bet on a 3 count.

I read that in a book once.

I have no idea what it means.

Option 2 is VERY good advise.
