While I generally try to avoid slowplaying any hands I figued I'd try it here especially because MP3 was raising alot of hands and nobody was really folding much throught out alot of the streets.

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, MP3 raises, 1 fold, Button calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Generally I'd raise of there were just limpers but being out of position and might be up against AK I just called.

Flop: (10.40 SB) , , (5 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, MP3 raises, Button calls, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Here's where I figured I'd start my slowplay I have trips with the best kicker, which I figured was a monster so I could afford to let as many people into the post as possible and not scare with any raises. Even to a donk it would be obvious I have a Q.
Turn: (10.20 BB) (5 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 bets, Button calls, Hero calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls.

Getting even better because I picked up even more outs for the nut flush, if I reraised MP3 I was worried about driving out UTG and UTG+1

River: (14.20 BB) (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG+1 folds, MP3 calls, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, MP3 folds, Button caps, Hero calls.

Overall was this a bad play, I know there's potential downfalls to slowplaying, was this hand not strong enough to attempt this play on, or did I completely screw up?

Final Pot: 23.20 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Ac Qc (three of a kind, queens).
