Villain is running 23/14, only read on him is that he doesn't seem capable of folding top pair.

I'm starting up some 6max for the first time ever.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($140.50)
CO ($100)
Button ($124.50)
Hero (SB) ($246.50)
BB ($110.10)
UTG ($101.40)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K
2 folds, CO bets $3, 1 fold, Hero raises to $12, 1 fold, CO calls $9

Flop: ($25) 9, 10, Q (2 players)
Hero?

Another hand, villain is running 29/24 over an small sample. We've had one hand before where he stacked me when he 3b 45s out of BB and flopped trips vs my TP.

I would c/f in hand 1 unless he calls too wide
so a reasonable range pre would be SCs, AQ, 77-JJ, AJs/KQs since he's IP
unfortunately nothing but a very small part of their range folds the flop, only the lowest pps and lowest scs
and even though you're ahead of hands like AJ, he's going to call flop and probably bet turn when you check to him because that's what donks do in 6m

hand 2: easy fold OOP, closer if suited

well if it's KQs, then flat vs. a guy who has a 3b in the double digits and if he's as aggressive post-flop then felt any flop with top pair, like don't even bother seeing a turn just raise when you hit it and get it in because you're gonna have a lot of stacks going in on boards like QT8ss with him having JT or flush draw or JJ

if he's not 3bing you that much just fold even if it's suited ldo
also, if he's super aggressive pre sometimes KQo is a good hand to 4b/fold because you have blockers vs. KK/QQ/AK
