Default Blind steal turns into monster draw, Raise flop?

I thought I would try a blind steal.
Anything you would do differently on the flop?

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $5.10
UTG+1: $10
MP1: $4.45
MP2: $9.75
CO: $9.70
hero: $12.15
SB: $12.95
BB: $7.55

Pre-flop: (8 players) hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">hero raises to $0.4</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($1.2, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $0.8</font>, BB calls, <font color="#cc0000">hero raises to $3.6</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises all-in $12.55</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">hero calls all-in $8.15</font>.
Uncalled bets: $0.8 returned to SB.

Results:
Final pot: $14.55

I probably just call the flop. No one ever folds an ace.

If no one is folding the ace, don't we want to get as much money in as we can on the flop since we have equity edge over any ace?

Not necessarily. if we can get the money in on the turn with 90%+ equity, calling is much better.

I don't think we have 90% equity here. I agree that if we are that far ahead we want to make sure we get more of villains stack on later streets, but since we are probably only ahead by a little, we would make most if we were able to fold the villains out.

Plus I think if we hit any of our cards, our action might be scared away.

He means see a cheap turn and get it in when we hit one of our outs (at which point we will have 90% equity).

I disagree that an A won't fold though. OP was the PFR'er and his bet looks a lot like AK/AQ. Plenty of villains will fold a weaker A there so I like OP's line here plus we buy a free turn the majority of the time. Getting RR'd sucks and means a call initially would have been better....but we can't expect a RR in general.
