Default Too aggressive with overcards?

Aggressive flop play with 2 overcards against two very passive opponents. Too aggressive?

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.5.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (9 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, SB folds, BB calls.

BB does not bluff to my knowledge. He is capable of betting out with second or third pair. I raise in an attempt to thin the field, to probe BB's hand (I am confident he will reraise with a set) and to try for a free card (my opponents do not seem to be aware of the free card play).

Turn: (7.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.

I have 4 outs to the nut straight and 3 outs to top pair. MP1 does not necessarily have kings. He has tried to pick up the pot in similar spots before.

River: (10.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 folds, BB calls.

I bet top pair for value. I have put BB on a pair of jacks or lower. MP1 can have any two cards, but there is a decent chance he will call with nothing (he has done it before).

Final Pot: 12.50 BB

Care to comment on my play on the flop and beyond? My opponents have VP$IP 95% (BB) and 48% (MP1) and call with just about anything. I believe aces will win more often than not.

Well played.
I like your comments and the reasoning behind your actions.
