Checking trips on the river. Good idea?

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (4 Players) CO: $9.50
BN: $10.42
SB: $72.57 (Hero)
BB: $97.28
BB is TAG reg.
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is SB with T K
2 folds, Hero raises to $1.25, BB calls $0.75
Flop ($2.50) K K A
Hero bets $1.08, BB calls $1.08
Good flop for my range. Sized up a little bit because we're deep.
Turn ($4.66) K K A 7
Hero bets $3.97, BB calls $3.97
Bet big to get value. Might want to overbet here, but I'm not really comfortable with overbetting yet.
River ($12.60) K K A 7 6
Hero checks
I would generally value-bet trips. But while in the hand, I was struck with this thought.

We're deep, so there's some merit in deception. I should check at least some trips on the river. My hand is nice because it is one of my worst trips, and it does not block diamonds.

So I decided to check. Good idea?
