Too ballsy of a steal?

Or more importantly did I steal it properly? I figured the min raise was begging for a call thusly more effective.

Ultimate Bet
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10./$0.25.
9 players

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with A:spade: K:club:
3 folds, MP2 raises to $0.85, 2 folds, Button calls, SB raises to $1.45, Hero raises to $6.05, MP2 folds, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: 9:heart: 4:diamond: 3:spade: ($19, 3 players)
SB bets $6.5, Hero raises to $13, 2 folds.
Uncalled bets: $6.5 returned to Hero.

giving your opponent 5:1 on a steal usually doesnt bode well for you.

Assuming you're both full stacked, you'd need to push here for your raise to be reasonable. And given that he reraised PF and then led the flop, I think he usually has an overpair here.

The truth is small blind probably has QQ or JJ, so if you think he'll fold it then I like the value raise to the turn bluff line here. lol. I can't believe I just said that.
