VPIP/PFR/AF/3bet/WTSD/W$SD/hands/
SB 29/17/11.0/11.1/8/0/48
BB 18/9/1.1/4.9/33/45/154

SB is aggressive .but dont overplay on the flop much.
BB is rock.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

$0.25/$0.5 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A:d, T:h.
6 folds, Hero raises, BU folds, SB 3-Bets, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (9 SB) A:c, 4:d, 2:c (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, SB folds, BB 3-Bets, Hero calls.

aggressive SB checks, but BB donks ,I got top pair so raised but got 3 bets .
he does not seem to do 3 bets with flush draw .
but pot is big and have chance to hit T so called.

Turn: (7.5 BB) 9:s (2 players)
BB bets, Hero folds, BB gets uncalled bet back.

turn is rag .
BB bets again,I thought I cannot call his bets anymore so folded .

Final Pot: 7.5 BB.

2 questions I want to ask.
1 should I raise to these kind of players on the flop ?
2 can I call down until river with this kicker?

If it wasn't for the third player on the flop I would like to play that as way ahead way behind very much. If there was no flush draw on the board you could safely just call down as nobody would have many outs. Still this is a worthwhile consideration because SB doesn't have the flush draw so often and BB seldom does if he is a rock.

Therefore the raise isn't that wrong. After a 3-bet I would like to call down. You can't be sure if BB plays a weaker ace this way and if he has a 2-pair with A4/A2 you have quite a number of outs. You are in bad shape only against sets and better kickers. But BB doesn't look so passive preflop that he wouldn't have capped with AQ+.

thank you so much! why do you think BB is not so passive and he would not have capped with AQ + ?

I think it is at least possible if not likely that BB caps AQ+ preflop. (Your question shows me I shouldn't use double negation. ♦) His PFR is 9 and his 3-bet is 5 which is in line with a standard tight aggressive player. The sample size of 140 hands allows for some variation. Postflop he is a rock, preflop he is not.

So if we rule out AK and possibly AQ there are few better kickers left for him. It is more likely for him having A2/A4 than AJ/AQ. He could have weaker aces too because we can't be sure about his stats.
