Ok here's the hand, little background on the player, this guy seemed a decent, solid player who wasn't fishy, as for my image, I'd done a fair bit of raising and reraising at the table with plenty of c-bets on the right boards and also betting draws.
Anyway, here's the hand:

When he called my river I bet I thought he had a considerably better ace than me, when the turn came a heart I was a bit scared of a checkraise so I checked along, having slowplayed big hands previously, once against this player.
So I knew I'd have to act quick and checked the flop straight off to make it clear the river hadn't changed my hand, when he bet I knew he had A10+ and thought I'd have to do something sharpish so instantly went all in. I then thought maybe this won't be enough and crudely went with "flush as well?" But it seemed to work.
Definitely not a fish this guy, a fish calls that all day, as for the talking, as in live play it can work but only against certain players.
Maybe my move was too risky or extremely lucky that the hand played out as if I had KQ of hearts etc.
Right, a lot of conjecture for a leadup to one question, how much of a rarity is this move working at this level and what level does this kind of move start to work at? I'm considering despositing a fat proportion of my live winnings onto online and play some higher stakes cash games.
Anyway, here's the hand:
