Default Ax from SB

I'm wondering what you think about this play of ace with small kicker from the BB. I've annotated my reasoning for my actions while playing...

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">4 folds</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks,

For .25, I want to see the flop.

Flop: (4 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls.

I'm not betting into this field with that flop, but when it checks around to the last to act, I feel pretty confident that I can narrow the field with a c/r and give myself a better chance to win.

Turn: (4 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls.

There is only one player remaining, acting from last position, so I'm trying to bluff him out at this point, since he may have a weak hand himself.

River: (6 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls.

I seriously doubt this guy flopped a straight, but if he has an ace, I'm probably dead as he will raise. There is a decent chance he's bluffing though, and may fire one last shot if he thinks I don't have an ace either...

Final Pot: 8 BB
