At what point do you back off the gas here?

It's fine to slow down on the river. Folding is out of the question, and raising is usually a bad idea considering that BB could be holding anything from 92o to Q9 to a flush. I like the raise on the turn. You played it fine.

I think this is a good line. I'm trying to figure out what BB 3bet PF with. I think he's bluffing the river heart and trying to push you off your big pair. Either that or he 3bets with crap which is okay too.
