Versus his size, and with the rake what it is on BOL, I'd 3-bet or fold preflop, even on the button.  You should develop a strong flatting range versus 4-bets so that you have a clear strategy to use.  If this guy is 4-betting liberally, you still will have a positional advantage that you can leverage here.  AJs could even be a fine flat versus a 4-bet if V is 4-betting AQo, KQs, and A5s.

In any event, V cbets large on the flop.  I'm certainly just flatting, especially since this is a large bet 3-way.  If you raise, you will just get action from better hands.

The turn is strange, as V bets half pot.  This starts to look like a pot-control move, especially from a aggresive opponent.  In truth, V is value betting WAY too thin (I looked at the spoiler!) and you should be happy just calling him down.

River is a half pot bet too.   I am reading a bit into his bet sizing, as you can tell... from most Vs, this reeks of a marginal made hand.  The problem is that your hand is just a bluff catcher in this spot, as it's unlikely a worse hand is betting.  Since you have hearts, you also block his most natural bluffs.

I might find a fold on that river in your shoes... I'd imagine AQ taking this line, or maybe a sheepish AK.

So, no.  I don't think your hand is good enough to raise on any street.  Think about what raising does... is your opponent folding better?  calling with worse?  I think you made the maximum given the spot.
