Texas Hold'em $2-$2 NL (Real Money)

Seat 7: Michaelxxx25 ($40.70 in chips)
Seat 8: borj17 ($207.55 in chips)
Seat 9: Hero ($211.35 in chips)

Hero has QhJh

ANTES/BLINDS
Michaelxxx25 posts blind ($1), borj17 posts blind ($2).

PRE-FLOP
Hero bets $7, Michaelxxx25 folds, borj17 calls $5.

FLOP [board cards 7H,9H,4H ]
borj17 checks, Hero bets $12, borj17 calls $12.

TURN [board cards 7H,9H,4H,4C ]
borj17 checks, Hero bets $28, borj17 bets $65, Hero calls $37.

RIVER [board cards 7H,9H,4H,4C,10D ]
borj17 checks, Hero bets $127.35 and is all-in, borj17...

Did I play this hand OK? I'm not sure about my turn play. I think flop and turn bets are fine. But what should I do after borj crs the turn?
I don't think I can fold the turn, because I have such good odds and a good hand.

His turn play suggests that he either has trips, a boat or a flush or a random donk hand or maybe Ahxo. I was scared of a higher flush and a boat so I just call his turn bet. Is it better to push here? I don't think I can fold to an allin river bet, so I might as well put the money in and not give him a chance to get away. If I just call I give him the chance to draw out on me or bluff the river. I think I should probably have pushed the turn after his checkraise.

He checks the river. I think I'm good here and I push for value.

What do you think?

Just shove the turn because a heart, 4, 7, or 9 kills your hand. He might make a stupid call with a hand that has outs but c/f the river if he misses. If you have a read that he's a big bluffer then call turn call river is fine I guess.
