Re: Blind defense.....
I used to play it the way you do. Now I am peeling more against blind stealers, because there are so many K-high and J-high hands that you are ahead of:

You are getting 4.5:1, so continuing isn't too unreasonable. I tend to fold if I don't have a good read on the villain's tendencies on the turn, but I am peeling more and more often these days if I know them well. I am definitely folding flops with 2 broadway cards though.
I remember reading something recently where some prominent posters advocated a more passive line against stealers with small offsuit aces from the BB (I think in MHSH), but I can't find it right now. I think 3-betting A3o OOP preflop is probably a losing play unless CO can be pushed off hands easily.
