Default MPTK & FD/BDFD VS PFR GOD I LOVE ACRONYMS

Table has been rather aggro in general; over half the hands see a raise preflop. Lot of blind stealing going on.

PFR is a bit of a LA-P, 50/9/0.64 over only 30 hands, who's before raised A8s UTG+2 and immediately slowed down when he missed the flop and was bet into (yet called the river w/ A high). It's entirely possible this is a steal attempt on his part, and regardless I'm not sure if he'd make an automatic continuation bet or not. He's also shortstacked with 7.5BB at the start of the hand.

Button is another LAP, SB is a rock.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Flop: (8 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero...

Not a bad flop. One I like and one the PFR probably doesn't. What's our line here? I suspect a checkraise will be a popular option; obviously if the PFR bets and the other two call then a value-cr is a no brainer; what if no one or just one person calls? Would I be better off betting out, seeing as he may not bother with a continuation bet if he's just got overcards or a total steal attempt?

There's a bit more to this hand however, because...

...I lied. In the actual hand, the 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is actually 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Does this change your line any? Why? (I posited the first hand because I thought both scenarios were rather interesting, especially given my read.)
