Default The checkraise that never happened

Below, I have posted my thinking along with the action. I am interested in other peoples' comments on it.

Online 40/80 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Preflop -- I figure I will checkraise him at some point after the flop. Hence my flat call of the 3-bet.
Flop: (7.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.

Flop -- I have a very strong hand unless a heart comes. I figure a checkraise at this point will not fold him out if he has a heart in his hand. So I decide to checkraise him on the turn unless it is a heart.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn -- it was a heart. My hand is now only moderately strong so I check call again. I will checkraise the river if the board pairs.

River: (6.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.

River -- The board didn't pair, and any heart beats me. So I figure my hand is just worth a check-call again.

Final Pot: 8.75 BB
