Don't act like a big shot when the board coordinates. He called a big bet, so you have to slow down when the third heart hits. Check over. Feel beat at this point. That's because he could also have trips for all you know. That's what I would have put him on. Especially with the raise on the river paired Q. That potentially fills up a set to a full house. It sounds to me like your not the type to lay AA down when it's obviously beat. The prospect of Flush or House would have grinded me to a halt. Maybe one or the other is fine, but not the prospect of both.

It's ok to relinquish control of a hand if you feel you are behind. Don't jam AA and KK down people's throats with a blind eye to the board. Don't be one of those people who are always saying "AA cracked again!". I always tell that person "Well ya, but there was a straight and a flush on the board, and two other people were betting hard"
excellent point .. i take advantage of people who cannot lay down their AA or KK ... highly profitable situations
