Defending BB issue

Are you suggesting to defend with any 2 cards in this situation? I can't see how that can be profitable. Even if you know he's stealing how can 72 or 84 be worth a call here as you've got the worst hand going in.

You're getting 3:1. You have position. If your opponent raises every hand here (and many aggressive opponents will) how can you fold?

Besides, what's wrong with 84? That's a classic unsuited 3-gapper, a very versatile hand.

I guess maybe you're right and perhaps I should be defending more. When playing in the MLL (micro limit league-now defunct)one was constantly in this position (HU against aggressive players) and I didn't think that it would be profitable to play every hand that was raised to you. Conversely, I never auto raised with uber crap either and would sometimes even limp. Do you consider limping in the SB to be always a bad play?
