Default flop top two check river good/bad?

I had him on flush draw after flop. I just posted blind so no reads. --- was this check too weak, I figured if he missed his draw he might take a chance at bluffing A. or he might also have some a high flush draw(although I couldn't pin him on that). or should I value bet this river?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) converter

UTG ($32.98)
MP ($29)
CO ($109.10)
Button ($21.85)
SB ($40.40)
Hero ($27.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $2</font>, CO calls $2, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, UTG folds, CO calls $5.

Turn: ($17) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $12</font>, CO calls $12.

River: ($41) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: $41

Meh, I just push the last $8. If he is thinking on any level, he knows you aren't folding and he is not checking a better hand behind.

This is correct. But because this situation is obviously sub-optimal, you should be 3-betting more on the flop and pushing the turn.

if you think villain may have had ace high flush draw, the turn/river counterfeited you...he now has aces up, just throwing that out there. I like check/calling here especially since your hand may have been counterfeit. However if board hadn't paird under and flush draw missed,i determine check/calling or pushing depending on agg. of opponent.
