I don’t think anyone would ever say it’s a mistake to get the money in with the nuts with backup nut draws….especially if you get called. However…and this is being results oriented, you might be able to make a case for playing a little slower especially since its a multiway pot. The problem that you get into is that after you pot on the flop and get called, the SPR is so low villain should call on most run outs. He IS under-repped after all (limp called with AA56 or AA46). Just imagine from his perspective, if you had AQQJ nut hearts…your pot on the flop would be a reasonable play (gutter, over pair, NFD). If he ever folded on the blank turn it is disaster for him. So, if he can put some of those hands in your range, he should never fold. I think the only way this hand might possibly have been played differently is if you did call on the flop, the pot becomes $600ish, maybe the original bettor has enough for one last pot on the turn and it now becomes a bad call for villain with AAxx. Even though he turned a SD, he has to think his heart outs are bad and with you behind, he folds. Obviously, this is super nitpicking and totally results oriented. Any day and every day I would rip it in like you did if I knew I was getting called and be $1500 poorer 5 minutes later.
