I probably raise preflop, but thats just me.
Why do you bet 1/4 the pot with multiple draws out there? I would probably bet 1000 on the flop.
On the turn i would bet 1/2 pot like you did. Probably check the river too, though that might be too weak. I would throw up a little though if i got raised.

Is this a definite river bet?
what if he raised preflop?
what if he limped preflop but bet more on the flop?

The preflop raise is debatable. In that position with that stack, I might also limp with AJs though generally I think I would raise, depends on the feel of the table.

My real issue with the your play though is the flop bet. Too low in my opinion, the slow play with two heart on the board is not a good idea imo. I would have bet the pot here.
