I disagree. I fold pre for another reason: sc odds (like set odds for small pp's). The raise is too big. Check out this thread: Playing pp's.
At the end, thread hits implied odds for sc's, and JefferyGB weighs in with more great content. In general, sc's seem to need 25x or 30x effective stacks to make them profitable, bigger than sets because the third flush card on the board really kills the action.
However, as played, the flop slow play is fine if you have a read on the villain(s) that they'll bet. The board isn't very drawy. On a dry board with a villain almost certain to fire in bets when checked to, ONE slow play is fine. With two pair, I would lead the turn after check/calling the flop.
Two is pair is a very fragile hand, yet very good on the flop. You wanna bet it hard and fast early to get the chips in while you're ahead. There's lots of ways to lose on the turn/river with 2 pair, and you'll be ready to hurl if you slowplay your way into stacking off.
Just make sure you have big enough effective stacks & and a villain willing to stack off with top pair before you play this one preflop.
