Default A6s turns two pair on monotone board, near the bubble

PokerStars 20+2 180 SnG.
We're around 25 left - I'm one of the big stacks at the moment. Villain seems TA, haven't had any confrontations with him.
How do you continue on the turn? Call & call river? Call & push any non-heart river if checked to? Fold turn? Push turn?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t22479)
UTG (t9072)
MP1 (t11680)
MP2 (t6815)
CO (t3841)
Button (t29684)
SB (t38472)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t1200) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t1200</font>, Hero calls t1200.

If he had an ace would he raise in the sb? How has been playing from that position?

I think the range of hands he may have in this instance would justify a call, and I'm calling any non-heart river.

Raise the flop.

I can't give him credit for 2 hearts that easily,(especially since he potted the flop being 1st to act) so I think my hand is good on the flop, but don't want to see another heart, so I raise the flop.

He can play many hands like this, most I'm ahead of (usually 1 heart and 1 pair), so I'm pushing the turn.

The pot is 14,100 and you have 18,500 left so its not a gross overbet.

If he has 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] good for him, his flop bet made me think he didn't have it.

Its true he may have 2 small hearts, but I would expect them to c/r the flop more than lead it.

Regards,
Woodguy

Not many pots have been folded all the way around, so we haven't had any blind battles before. He was around 17/14, so he could raise an ace in the SB.
