Default Played Wrong

I won the hand, but even so was I wrong to chase this down?

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with :ah, :qs.
2 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, MP3 calls, CO raises, Hero calls, 1 fold, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

Should I have 3 bet preflop?

Flop: (10.40 SB) , , (5 players)
BB bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero calls.

Getting 10-1 pot odds I have a backdoor flush and 2 overcards so i figure it's worth 1 small bet. Anyone disagree?

Turn: (7.70 BB) (5 players)
BB bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, CO raises, Hero calls, BB calls, MP1 3-bets, MP3 folds, CO caps, Hero calls, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Now here's where it gets iffy. After CO raises my pot odds are about 6-1, but was it wrong to call? Then it got capped and I figure at this point I have no choice. Was I right or wrong?

River: (24.70 BB) (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets, CO calls, Hero raises, BB folds, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Final Pot: 30.70 BB

Results in white below:
MP1 has 5h Kh (flush, king high).
CO has 4s 4d (three of a kind, fours).
Hero has Ah Qs (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins 30.70 BB.

You didn't have pot odds...but I would have probably played it the same way that you did except that I would have 3 bet pre-flop.

Nice going Starlight!

I just get beat so many times with great hands when a 4 flush board hits, that since you had the Ace...I don't care about the pot odds in a limit game, with that situation...its not that many chips.

I would've played it the same exact way you did. I personally do not 3 bet anything except AA, KK, AK, and SOMETIMES QQ. I do not 3 bet with AQ because I find people pre-flop raise a lot with AA and KK and I don't want those kind of odds. So I just call and see what the flop is like, and if I hit something, I'm very very aggressive. Nice play, good pot.

I usually fold hands like that on the flop. It seems whenever I call with overs, I never hit and just end up wasting money.
