Opponent is somewhat solid. Slightly loose, but decent postflop.

I would bet the river. I think you might get him to fold a hand like A5 with the ace of hearts. Maybe this is a flaw in my game, but i three bet the flop so i can bet every street and get opponents off of weak holdings that beat me. If you don't think your opponent would play this way without a queen, then checking the river is definitly correct.

I would be very suspicious if he had the A hearts... as our hero has it.

I don't think many players are folding a Q here after another heart fails to come. Hero has the ace of hearts, so that rules out the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] with a pair possibility. Not worried about aggressively played lower heart draws, so I think this is a case of better hands calling and worse hands folding.
