5NL playing 190 bb deep... Way of thinking on every line - Open for comments

I played this hand a while ago and even though i lost a (in BB) a big pot, i can see me do this again in the future.

A few hands in Zoom session. Players are new to me.

Preflop: The hand is nice, my position in good. I should have gone for a 3bet here perhaps. But due to some flops where i can flop huge, i wanted to give the blinds a chance a join in. Hoping for some broadwaycards, diamonds preffered :)

Flop: 2 checks on a dry board, Top pair, top kicker... Seems a bet is legit.
The check-raise rings a bell. Set of aces is possible, but i have one myself. 22 is possible but less likely, because even bad players know 22 only flops bottom set all of the time.
99xx - A9JQ - A9Qx - 3x4x5y6y are candidates here. A2 has a small chance.
But i called. A heart or any broadway card (a K was preffered) could help to take the pot on the river.

Turn: A heart is a pretty good card for me for representing the nuts later. And i got a 1/2 pot bet donkbetted.
3456 would have check-called imo.
So I thought A987 would be close to his range. A set wit a small flush draw would have charged to protect the hand.
So i felt the T scared him in some way in fear of a bigger 2 pair or maybe a set.
I called in stead of raising to his weakness to still have a decent amount behind i case i would take a shot here if a scared card would come.

River: The Q was not the best from the deck, but with 2 blockers to the nuts, a weakish turn bet and a check on the river gave me the green light to try and push him of his two pair.

Somehow if i review the hand, in a way i feel like i am getting better on analyses after being here. Wachting all this stuff from the pros and start playing more with confidence.
In a way i feel i did this one good, but i can't say what i could have done any better. Even though it's about a few pennies, it's not the cash but the way the hand played out that made me think.

So if anyone has any comment, please share. Thanx guys ;)
