Default Wynn 15/30-- A3o Blind Defense

One situation in which I feel pretty uncomfortable involves holding weak A high hands in the blinds against an obvious steal-raiser. Hands like A2-A6 I find tough because I don't like three-betting them for initiative pre-flop as they're not that strong, but I feel like calling and checking most (missed) flops is going to allow my opponent to outplay me and force me to fold the best hand too often. So I'm considering some strategies that involve calling pre-flop and betting out basically every flop.

Here's something I tried at the Wynn this weekend.

Villain in question is a mid-thirties, standard 15/30 type. He's definitely a bit too loose pre-flop (VPIP probably 27-30), and reasonably aggressive pre-flop (PFR 10-12 or so). Post-flop he's a bit less aggressive and plays okay. In the situation below I imagine his stealing range to be huge.

Originally when I played this I liked it, then I started hating it, now I just don't know. Comments welcomed on every street.

Deranged is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Pre-flop:

7 folds, Button raises, SB folds, Deranged calls.

Flop (~4.5 SB): Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Deranged bets, Button calls.

Turn: (~3.25 BB): A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Deranged checks, Button bets, Deranged calls.

River (~5.25 BB): 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Deranged bets...

Let me have it.
