Bovada Zone poker so no reads 1/2

Effective stacks 200

(villain) limps UTG , Button limps, Hero In BB with QQ (heart) raises to 12, both call

Flop(36) 3 3 9 (two hearts) Hero bets 22, only villain calls.

Turn (80) A (heart) Hero checks, Villain bets 40, Hero calls.

River (160) K(non heart) Hero checks, Villain jams. Hero???

The Ace of heart probably doesn't change anything as there shouldn't be too many Ace x non heart that would call the flop unless he had A3s. I didn't see any value in betting here so I decide to check call. Should I have taken a different line?

My initial thought was that you should fold. But the more that I think about the action: limp/call pre, flat OTF, bet a scare card OTT....I dunno man. It's close either way. Your getting about 2:1 so you'd have to be good 33% of the time. It's close. I'd probably talk myself into a fold, but I wouldn't be happy.

I'm snap folding the river here, obviously villain is terrible but I don't think they're spewing off with nothing here.

Next time bet the turn or play c/r, if he call or raise it will be easy fold

Ur betting or raising to end the hand? Seems like calling and figuring it out would be better

Probably would go a little smaller OTF in general but against fish / weaker players I'm fine with sizing up a little bit.

I would fold river because we should have enough Ax's+ that QQ just seems like a snap fold. We'll also have KK to help us out. I don't think blocking a heart is enough of a reason to call QQ.

FWIW, c/r'ing turn feels super spewy because we have better hands to turn into bluffs; betting turn also feels wrong because better generally won't fold and there's not too much worse that should call. Doesn't hurt to have a few flush draws in our c/c range either.

Despite good odds of ~2.3:1 I'd fold. If he see's you c/cing on the turn, and both a K and A are in your range, AND giving you decent odds on a river call, I think you're going to be beat way more than what you're getting on your call here.
