Default Questionable slow play?

Now I'm not usually one for the slowplay with only TPTK, but here what do the panel think.. Players here in the hand are reasonable but not brilliant.

10/20 Party, full table 10 players

I have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG.

Preflop: I raise, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 cold calls, lots of folds, SB calls 1.5, BB folds.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (7 SB)
check,check,check

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
check,check,check

River: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
check, I bet, UTG+2 calls, BB folds.

Final Pot: 5.5 BB

My reasons for the slowplay. Betting out with the Qxx flop is unlikely to get a caller unless someone else has a Queen. (15% chance?) and will only get raised by a hand which I'm behind (twopair or trips, 5%?). The chance of someone holding 2 hearts is small (5%, with 20% chance of hitting = 1% real risk of losing, 5% of missing bets?). Therefore with a 75% chance of taking the pot then and there, I decided to try to get someone to hit a lesser hand, hopefully with an Ace, or some other pair (Jack,Ten). Obviously risky as I don't like Kings or the board pairing. By waiting until the river I am more likely to get a call (or two) as people will not put me on AQ.

Does this stack up? Or is it rather too risky giving two free cards with only TPTK?
