Uggh...Caught stealing again
 

Should I even be stealing blinds with hands like these at 3/6, where the rake can kill?

Yes. Yes, you should. NH.

I play it the same.

I check the turn, call any river if he's aggressive.

I think the value of betting the turn in getting villain to fold sometimes right here and not pick up a river card that can beat you slightly outweighs the advantages to checking the turn, but I'll take both of these approaches from time to time.

Re: Uggh...Caught stealing again
 

That really depends on the type of aggressive he is. If he is likely to checkraise that board on a bluff as well as with a made hand, I am checking the turn and calling most rivers.

But there are a lot of aggressive players who really don't bluff enough IMO. Misplaced aggression I guess. And against these sorts (which most aggressive 3/6 players are) I bet the turn.
