Default Aggressive with 44 in the BB

My read on the button is that he is a decent ABC player.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, Hero calls.

The raise was because I figured I had the best hand pf since he just limped from the button. Given his play earlier I figured he would fold for one bet on the flop if he didn't hit top pair. His limp reraise screamed big PP though so I backed off and just called.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero bets, Button calls.

So here I'm hoping he has a pocket pair lower than Kings, and I can represent a high Ace. He just calls which is good, but he could be waiting to pop me on the turn. I decide I'll put in one more bet.

Turn: (4.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero bets, Button calls.

He thought for quite a bit before calling. Now I'm convinced he doesn't have an Ace, if he did he would most likely raise here considering the 3 flush on board, and I'm sure I would have heard from pocket Kings by now. Now I'm thinking he has QQ-TT, but I decide that he's probably not gonna lay down anything at this point so I need
to give it up on the river.

River: (6.25 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero bets, Button folds.

He took a loooong time to lay this one down, and I was quite proud of him. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I was gonna give it up on the river but that fourth club was just too tempting. Of course if he had Queens or the J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] he's calling but I'm getting 6 to 1 on my bet that he doesn't hold any of those hands.
Final Pot: 7.25 BB

Does anybody else play this hand this way? Did I just get extremely lucky? I was almost auto-betting the whole way which I think helped sell it, and my image at the table was pretty tight as I hadn't been getting too many playable hands.

He told me after the hand he had Jacks [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] It would have been fun to tell him about my two little red fours but I bit my tongoue. I just said good laydown.
