the guy is a 35/28 with a cbet of 36%(11) on 74 hands seteal from SB 75% (4)

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $2.04 (102 bb)
Hero (BB): $2.06 (103 bb)
CO: $3.35 (167.5 bb)
BTN: $1.54 (77 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q♦: 6♣:
2 folds, SB raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.12) 3♥: Q♥: J♦: (2 players)
SB bets $0.09, Hero calls $0.09

Turn: ($0.30) 6♠: (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.30, SB raises to $0.97, Hero raises to $1.91 and is all-in, SB calls $0.92 and is all-in

i feel a little lost with his x/r on the turn... how do u play after his raise? I think that at be on blind war he could be defending and call with worst.

River: ($4.08) A♣: (2 players, 2 are all-in)
the guy is a 35/28

Results:

Spoiler

$4.08 pot ($0.14 rake)
Final Board: 3♥: Q♥: J♦: 6♠: A♣:
SB showed Q♣: J♣: and won $3.94 ($1.90 net)
Hero showed Q♦: 6♣: and lost (-$2.04 net)

Grating!

You can just fold Q6o preflop vs 3x, moreover at NL2 with the highest of rake.
As played nothing else much to do I'm afraid.

I agree with the preflop fold. You cannot fight for every pot.

First thing you should think about is the "this guy is a 35/28" so this and that. Well, if you were playing this guy in a short-handed game, starting a table and such, he may not be a maniac at all, but just a decent LAG playing agressively in a short-handed game since some regs know full ring players can be quite bad at short-handed and heads-up game. Over 74 hands in a short-handed game, I would suggest you take these stats with a grain of salt. Another thing you should consider is: isn't there a better spot to pick an agressive player off than out of position with a total trash hand, top pair no kicker? If he's really that agressive, can't you wait to get it in with a decent hand?

I think many players at the micros personalize and overthink things, feeling other players are "going after them" or "abusing them" and that they need to play back. You don't. You don't need to play back at crazy LAGs, you don't have to bluff calling stations. You have to chase the fish, profit and move up.

Good Luck at the tables!

First if he is a good lag, dont play in this table at all if there's no huge fish. I dont mind deffend but for that your postflop play have to be good. If he opens wide range then Q6ofs. is bottom range to deffend imo and 70+% is wide.

isn't there a better spot to pick an agressive player off than out of position

Obv there is but He will be in position postflop(i still agree that you dont have to deffend with bottom range). Flop play. I dont like call on flop, its a wet wet wet board, you have a top pair sht kicker, raise, people tend to call back with draws and shove with bether hands there. He plays that turn exxellent, as played, allmost impossible to fold.

If being 35/28 (and on 74 hands lmao) is being "crazy lag" then I'm afraid people in white will come to restrain me soon and put me on heavy medication :P

Q6o should be a fold at NL2, dot. PIO Solver doesn't call it (technically it's a mix between raise and fold meaning every line has the same crappy EV) and the sim works in a game without rake. Add rake, the more reason to fold.

Sure, that was obviousy a typo, I was implying it wasn't enough hands to judge.

Just fold pre or at least 3bet lite, if the villain steals blinds alot.
