To OP: I like your line and I would probably play exactly the same.

If it was a heart, I think I would still raise the turn, and fold to a raise. If called, I would hope to get a free showdown. But what if villian fires on river after a turn heart?

I'd value bet the river. Qx is unlikely as that typically 3 bets the turn and the J probably didn't help him unless he has J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Stuff like A3s, 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and lower pocket pairs will payoff.

Afterwards, I wondered if I should have put in a value bet, but at the moment I didn't see many pairs paying me off.

What's your action on a turn heart?

I think BB is just trying to represent a hand. Bet the river because I imagine the fold equity is pretty high here. I like the turn raise, though.
