Default Bloating pot or good play?

Vallain is 40/15/1.3

Is this a good or expensive way to buy information? Am I to aggressive here? I really have issues with my play right now and need some guidence.

If you think I should fold pre flop, is it ok to make the play if they where suited?
How about my flop bet? Is it weak or smart to c/f?
I would probably take the pot away from him if he is on QQ-1010 and AQ with this play right?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $100 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB ($100)
UTG ($51.61)
MP ($42.06)
Hero ($194.22)
SB ($106.97)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $11.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $8.

Flop: ($25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $13</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $33</font>, SB calls $106.47 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $177.47

this is fine every now and then. you'll definitely get him to fold better hands. ie. TT/44/etc.

his 3bettign tendencies are far more important than naked pt stats.

IP and suited its closer IMO, but still tough to play postflop. I prefer folding or 4betting these types of hands.

repop him if you think he's stealing its cheaper than raising his flop bet, which he will almost always make. Also if you are going to raise on the flop raise more, personally i would fold flop as played, repop him or fold pf.

just dont do it often. i'd rather do it with a pocket pair (2 "nut" outs instead of zero outs)
