Triple barrel spew, 25NL

Ok, I know triple barrels are uniformly hated and considered spew. Villain is LAG 60/40/1.8 (or so) and floaty and as far as LAG's go seems decent. 

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($34.60)
BB ($14.45)
Hero ($25.70)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.10) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.5, BB calls $1.50.This doesn't tell me much about villain's range as he is calling almost everything here 

Turn: ($5.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3, BB calls $3.
This is my "real" cbet...villain only calls so now I think he has a piece and if so either he has a monster (unlikely) or a small piece 
River: ($11.10) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $1, Hero raises to $10 I bet on him having a "small piece" 

Ok...sock it to me. How bad is it?

Fine by me (not that that means anything), gotta double barrel sometimes and there's nothing wrong with raising that mini river bet. Make a note and move on.

Pretty bad and not bad at the same time. On occasions I like to play LAG and I will tell you something don't let his loose play get to you and make you make terrible plays similar to that above.

One reason I don't think this is terrible is because firing a 2nd barrel is alright mind you not great against a lag. I know your worried that if you check he'll take control and steal, this is fine and manipulate it later.

The river is played perfectlt a piss weak let me showdown raise deserves to be punished and you did just that.

That's what I think from someone who on occasions likes to be a bad egg, but plays tag too

The 6 isn't the greatest card to double barrel. I don't raise that river bet without a read.

.....

Also, your flop and turn bets are too small. Why would you try for value with a cr after betting so small on the two previous streets? I guess you could probably get him off a J here but a player with his stats has too wide a range for me to be comfortable here.
