Do you really think when you pushed that you would get a call from someone who was just playing the board or had a low heart? No way in hell.

Also, I don't like the way you played it, especially the river push. Pushing is definitely +EV, but if you just bet out 1/2 - full pot, you will earn more in the long run, when the K or Q high flush calls you. Also, you should bet the turn. Giving a free card does nothing for you. If villian doesn't have a hand to pay you off with on the turn, he's not paying you off on the river. You will extract more from the K or Q flush with a turn bet followed up by a river bet. You also give 2 pair and sets a chance to fill up. Bet the turn so they have to pay for that opportunity.
