Default NL10 SB complete makes mediocre pair

Ok, here I complete the small blind because 3 people have limped, and I might make a straight draw.
Sure enough, I end up with a mediocre one-pair hand out of position.
I need to improve with these kind of holdings.
Any advice is welcome!

<u>Reads:</u> I now this guy for a couple of orbits. When I came to the table, he just called an all-in with very, very, very little (donīt remember precisely, but he had something a lot worse than TPTK). The other player turned out to have complete air, and he probably kind of knew him. I donīt know their history. He didnīt do anything out of the ordinary later. He is playing 3 tables.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 8 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $9.90
BB: $9.15
UTG: $8.20
UTG+1: $4.05
MP1: $18.00
MP2: $10.10
CO: $1.75
BTN: $10.50

Preflop: Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8 Players)
UTG calls $0.10, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.10, MP2 folds, CO calls $0.10, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.05, BB checks


Flop: ($0.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 Players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="red">MP1 bets $0.40</font>, CO folds, Hero calls $0.40, 2 folds

<font color="blue"> General ideas: I will fold to a bet that gets called between me and the bettor. Now comes his bet, it looks like it might be done with about anything he woould limp with, as there is just one player behind him and no-one seems to be interested in the pot yet. I might be ahead and want to see if he bets again.</font>

Turn: ($1.30) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">MP1 bets $0.90</font>, Hero calls $0.90

<font color="blue"> All right, he bets again...
I expect him to have a hand very often.
I feel tempted to call, which I do.
This might be bad play because I really must admit, I have no good idea how to respond to a river bet, which is likely to come. Plus he has me beat very often.
So do I have to fold here?</font>

River: ($3.10) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $1.10</font>

<font color="blue"> Chances are he doesnīt have an Ace. But wait... I have an Ace, havenīt I?? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] </font>
