Default Do you check the river?

I know I am going to get [censored] for playing this hand but I am chip leader, and people are playing real tight. I fold to a reraise obviously, but I raised rather than limping for the reason that I could show the strength, force people out, and hopefully scare away a reraise. That said, check it out.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

BB (t700)
UTG (t905)
Hero (t1600)
MP1 (t670)
MP2 (t1180)
MP3 (t875)
CO (t375)
Button (t1570)
SB (t125)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t75</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls t75, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t195) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, Button calls t200.

Turn: (t595) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t500</font>, Button calls t500.

River: (t1595) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: t1595

The only two hands this guy had played he had a hand, hence his chips. I was pretty annoyed that the one player that called had a stack. I still thought I may have had the best hand so I tried to take it down, but two smooth calls scared me.
