Re: Did I give this pot away?
I don't think you gave this pot away. Assuming any of your opponents have a good heart in their hand, you are not going to chase them out.
If you bet into me and I were after you with a good heart, I would raise you and check down the river if I missed.
If you bet into me and I were after you with the nut heart, I would call and bet or raise on the river.
The only way betting could make sense would be if your opponents were on straight draws. From your comments it does not seem if your opponents are wild or would bluff into this pot.
I think your check was proper and you could not have won this pot unless a blank hit the river.
