Default Difficult play (for me)

From memory ...

Party $6, level 3: t25/t50, 8 handed
Hero (~t750) is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain (~t1250) is SB (has been quite lag)

UTG calls
UTG+1 calls
Hero calls
MP folds
LP folds
CO calls
SB raises to t450
BB folds
UTG folds
Hero?

if by "quite lag" you mean he's raising every hand preflop, then might as well push. if not, just fold. i mean really this is a pretty easy fold, but you never know what those crazy players at the low buy ins do. so it u think he's bs'ing then go ahead and push.

He was raising a lot.
A couple of hands earlier he called down big(ish) bets to fill a straight on the river with 45o in the pocket.

if lag means he is raising 1/3 of the hands you should add another (normal 6$) raising percentage of the other players and just lay this down preflop. Wait for a better hand and/or position to double up. If you are ready to go all-in after his raise you should go all-in by yourself preflop, hoping to pick up the 225 ships already in and still having a hand when being called. But I still prefer the fold preflop.

You have horrible position. From that position I'd fold AJ PF. I think you have to fold to his raise.

Did UTG+1 fold? If I read the hand correctly when it gets back to you there is only the CO left to act? If your read is that your hand has his range significantly beat I say go for it and push. Although, I think his range must be pretty large for this to be worth it.

Fold pre-flop the first time action's to you. You have t750, UTG limped, UTG+1 limped, others are probably going to limp, you have bad position. Fold fold fold.
