You've flopped a legitimately strong hand and want players to inferior ones to call you, so why not show a little weakness on the flop when doing so doesn't involve major risks?
I also agree with 'rilla here. Sure you're very likely to have the best hand now but by slowplaying it, it is too easy to slowplay yourself into a loser. It's legitimately strong off the flop but only likely to get weaker as the turn and river comes. As Aceofone said, I'd rather take down the small/mid-sized pot then slowplay myself into losing to a higher two pair by some body playing K8s and catching the 8 on the turn on river.
Since it's an easy fold if my opponent is showing incredible strength, I don't consider this very risky at all. I'm willing to take what little risk is involved here given the prospect of making some extra money.
