If you three bet the flop, you will likely only get called on the turn unless it's a heart and villian made a flush. By just calling the flop, you might be able to expect Villian to bet the turn and then you can checkraise a non heart. In this case, a J came on the turn so Villian could be expected to get afraid of a checkraise and not bet, so Hero's best option now is to bet out.

Edit: If villian was on a heart flush draw, he probably wouldn't bet the turn anyway, so a bet by hero is good here anyway.

I think that was Shillx's thinking. That would have been mine, anyway.
