Sometimes I get attached to a strong PP and end up betting 3 streets for value too loose. Therefore I've started to X some strong PPs, AA and KK especially, when board is kinda wet such as this one. But maybe this isn't a good spot for a XB? Maybe I shouldn't check alot of overpairs when I'm IP as opposed to OOP? Thoughts?
Flop: I was considering betting but decided to pot control for the above stated reason.
Turn: I was going to bet Turn but when Jx becomes a straight I think it doesn't make much sense to bet with such middling hand imo.
River: I expect him to bet all of his Jx so I go for value.

Flop we need to bet having no heart. Might consider Xbacks with Kh, but theres still a lot of value and protection needed.
As played i think your Xback turn is ok.
River villain might go for value with some Jx,Tx so valuebetting is fine. Maybe going a bit smaller to widen his calling range.
(Usual disclaimer that I'm just coming back and this is more for thought than definitive)
Seems like an ok flop to mix in a check back here against a player who plays aggressively with a variety of draws, although I'd prefer Aces. Yes, we probably hold the nut advantage in a BvB scenario, but his calling range OOP is probably likely to contain a lot of cards that connect with this type of board as well so we may not have much of an equity edge anymore, although would lean on those who know more to say for sure.
Also, I suspect there is some distinction between KK (or AA) with and without a heart here, but I've run myself in a little bit in circles on what that ultimately means. My knee jerk reaction is that I thought that if I were checking it would want to have the Kh to help us better defend leads on heart turns.
Flop can be bet here, mixing is probably fine.
Turn seems fine.
River, due to it being kind of thin (target is Qx), I would go a bit smaller.
This is simply a horrid runout for overpairs/top pairs so looking to keep the pot controlled is perfectly ok.
Okay thanks guys this all makes sense. I agree that I'd rather control with Kh.
