There will be many hands better than yours that will slow down, hands like JT,QJ,QT, will almost never 3 bet you on this board, and these 3 hand are the most likely hands for the villain.

This is what I was thinking about during the hand and is the main reason I checked the river. The fact that AK makes the nut straight on this turn is a major factor and will in my mind keep most players from 3-betting the two pair hands listed above. At the time of the turn raise my thinking was that it was a part free showdown, part value raise but was undecided on which one should be weighted more. The 3rd heart on the river wasn't really the deciding factor in me checking river (the turn J was a worse card IMO), but it did swing things slightly over to a check.

I think you played it as good as you could have and this proves why
