Default I Check/Call A-High Straight All the Way Down HU

And it can't be right. Can it?

PF: MP2 (kinda laggy) opens, I 3-bet with black AQ from SB, folded back to MP2 who caps, I call.

Flop: KJT all hearts. Check, bet, call. (I planned to donkbet on a non-heart turn... shoulda just popped the flop?)

Turn: 8 of hearts. Check, bet, call.

River: J of clubs. Check, bet, call.

I found this hand difficult to play...

I think betting the turn and folding to a raise is better. If he just calls the turn I think you can check-fold the river.

Hmmmm this line might be good. The only thing I'm worrying about is that villain might think it fishy for me to bet out on the turn.

He may think it is fishy, and call the turn, but I doubt he bets the river when checked to without a heart if he thought your turn bet was fishy. If you think he is capable of this, check-call the river.

I just think one of the streets should be bet to put the decision on him.

I'm not a fan of folding this hand ever heads up.
On this dangerous flop, I think your planned turn check raise was a little greedy, I'd be happy (well satisfied) to take it down with a flop bet. Since the dealer didn't cooperate with your plans, I like your line better than getting raised and having to throw up in my mouth, or even worse, having to fold. From the other players shoes, any half decent player with position is going to represent the flush in this situation, make him prove it, cheaply if possible.

Clarkmeister the turn.

EDIT: Read the flop wrong. I miss the converter.

I like bet/calling the flop. On the turn if he jsut called the flop I fold to a raise. Calling down doesn't seem like a bad play to me.
