Flop: I decide to slowplay as I can't expect too much value from queens. I decide not to raise his bet as that would scare away lots of stuff.
Turn: this kind of players usually go for very small bets after flops, and he was pretty passive too, so I decided not to risk a check behind and donk, also to value/protect from possible 1 heart hands.
I somehow wasn't too worried about FDs but I'm not sure why.
I was reluctant to call his river raise, but I thought of things like lesser sets, AQ, AJ...
Possible lesson learnt: do not slowplay against passive players even with big monsters, and if passive player bets, raise it, he'll probably make a mistake. Slowplaying like that can be good against aggressive or semi-good regs.
