say a 30pfr / 13% pfr opens for 3.5bb after it's folded to him, "typical decent aggro" on button

I assume you meant 13% pre flop raiser. This is not loose for 6 max.

Defending with these types of hands is one of the most fun parts of 6 max IMO.

Firstly if you are holding

You aren't looking to play a big pot. Either fold now for -$5, or find out if you have the best hand on the flop, or right now.

Most of the time you are just going to call.
If you call you can pot it if low cards appear, and your the type of guy that might have low cards. CR'ing with top pair is nice too, or leading with nothing, top pair, draw and see what's up. Test him out.


Repopping depends on the opponent - Will he always fire the flop? What do I know if he calls me? How good are is opponent..

Something as strong as AQ I reraise. If he calls you and you whiffff the flop, following thru with a big bet is your judegement call.

The worse and more aggressive they are, the more I set hunt. The tighter I appear the more I repop.
