Default Trying to defend my BB, and failing miserably

Villain here is a real agro 57/16/3.5, but only after 30 hands, so who knows if his stats are all that accurate.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.33 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.16 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (11.16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 12.16 BB

I was going to fold on the turn, but when I picked up my flush draw, I thought it might be good to try to semi bluff him. Should I just call on the turn? Should I give up on the flop? Should I fold preflop? I have been trying to defend more from the BB, but I am so confused as to what to do when you hit a no pair hand (which is quite often).

I hear that semibluffing the turn is a [censored] idea when he just 3-bet the flop and didn't take his free card.

I'm probably not aggressive enough, but I fold the flop. Small pot, I've got nothing but an overcard. Do I really think he's betting at me with J-high or less?

On the turn, I'd just call. His 3-bet on the flop means something. Optionally, lead the turn and call a raise. I think you've got about the same fold equity with a lead as you do a check/raise and you see the river card for 1-2 bets rather than the 2-3 bets the check/raise costs.

Again though, on the flop, you're fighting for 4SB. Is it really worth it? If you had 2 overcards or a backdoor straight draw to go with things (the 2-6 doesn't count), anything that gives you some more outs, I'd be more inclined to make him prove the steal is valid.

I'd peel the flop, and possibly the turn, but this is the type of guy that you pound on when you have a hand and lay back when you don't have one. this is a classic spew
