Default QQ flops a set with str8-flush draw on board

Here's a tricky one that I played last night.

Absolute $200 NL $1BB 9-handed

Hero $218
Villain1 $160
Villain2 $52

Villain1 = loose-passive, occasionally loose-aggressive
Villain2 = loose-passive

Hero is BB Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain1 = LMP
Villain2 = CO

Preflop: EP limps, Villain1 limps, Villain2 raises to $5, Button calls, SB calls, Hero calls, EP folds, Villain1 calls.

Flop ($26) 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, Hero checks, Villain1 checks, Villain2 bets $6, Hero calls, Villain1 calls

Turn ($44) K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero checks, Villain1 checks, Villain2 checks

River ($44) 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets $40, Villain1 folds, Villain2 calls

I'm not sure I played it right, probably should have lead the flop. What do you think?

Perfect. You have to slowplay sometimes or you'll never get paid off. If you just come out firing, everyone will fold.

Pot the flop. Since you checked, check-raise the flop. Since you called, bet out the turn. Since you checked, I'm betting a little less on the river.

What to do vs. 2 loose-passive opponents when you have way the best of it? Bet and take their money. I bet ~$20 on the flop, giving a flush draw marginal odds, and hoping that a passive player with just AQ or KQ will be dumb enough to ride along. If they're going to draw out on you, make them pay the maximum you know they would be willing to.

I reraise this preflop and then take control of the hand. Is this a bad idea? I got caught yesterday reraising QQ out of position preflop and had to check/fold a rag flop to a preflop 3-raiser.
