I'm not sure if there is a play money section here. I am sorry if I am posting this incorrectly. Or even if folks care to offer advice on play money. I am trying to learn poker, and stars only allows play money in the US. And betonline zoom is 10nl at the lowest *(ouch).
I thought this would be and ideal place to bluff. Flush completed, not too many scary high cards. I though my range could very well include two hearts. Was my thought process off? Or did he make a questionable call?

I can't edit the title. sorry for the $2nl
Your first mistake was limping UTG with A3o this is a fold. If you're going to play A3o UTG which you shouldn't you would need to open (maybe to represent QQ+) I still don't like this I would fold every time!
If you decided to open you would need to open to 5-10 times the big blind. Depending on how Active the table has been. UTG you have to open larger than other positions because you have to get through so many more players.
As played, you should have been the one to make the bet on the turn. Something small like 1/4th pot. This will give you information from the other players as to what they are holding and if you're beat.
As played you should have folded the turn. As far as
bluffing the river the board paired and the flush got there, so we have to think what did villain lead turn with. I don't feel like it's a great card to bluff because if villain was on FD he's made his hand and if he had pair board improves to two pair for him and he will probably defend.
If you feel like your perceived range includes flushes enough I can understand the bluff, but I can tell the way the hand was played your perceived range is not a FD. Villains range seems to include more flushes than yours.
Don't feel bad about playing on
pokerstars play money. I got on their the other day just to check it out and had a blast playing the PM zoom. That being said, I would recommend playing on ACR because you can play free rolls all day long and have a chance to make a profit. They don't have zoom, so if that's what you are working on then I understand why you would stay on PokerStars, but why give away the chance at earning free money and learning at the same time.
