Default when to call in blinds

Just lost a ton trying 3-6. Starting with my smallest errors first. When is it right to call/raise a somewhat LAGGY opponent that keeps raising your BB at 3-6 6 max? Would you rather call with 5h6h Ah3h or KhTs? Or are the blinds just not worth it? I know that you're supposed to lose in the blinds, but how much?

56s all day.

Have you considered re-reaising him light?

If the button raises and I have 56s in the big blind I rarely call. Playing a hand that's likely to pick up a big draw OOP like this isn't very fun. I'll reraise a lot of the time and fold the rest of the time, depending on stealing tendencies of the button. If the raise is coming from the SB I'll flat call with more hands, but still reraise with most. I think playing too many hands for raises OOP in the blinds is a major leak of many beginning players.

I reraised about 3 times his raise with 55 and 99 making him fold both times.
