Default Folding out better players.

UTG+1 26/14/6.5 over 180 hands
BB is just a horrible player 70/2/0.3 over 200 hands

Absolute Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $1/$2
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#cc3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9.5SB, 3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5.75BB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5.75BB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Results:
Final pot: 5.75BB

On the flop I thought that they most likely didnt hit anything and that a bet might fold both or only fold UTG+1 leaving me heads up with the BB. I thought that I would have a bigger chance to win against him in general because his calling hand range on the flop is much broader than UTG's. I would also get paid of more often by the BB then the UTG player. Is that valid resoning in this situation or should I be thinking about more/other things?
Comments on all streets are appreciated.

I probably bet again on the turn, with the plan of checking behind on the river UI.

Preflop, I think I fold. Is 3-betting an MP raise from a TAG standard in a 6-max game with A9s? (Some of my preflop standards in 6-max are still a little sketchy.)

Im not really confident at all when it comes to preflop strategy, so you might be right.

I fold preflop.

I fire again at the turn, betting for value against hearts or spades or overcards. It also buys us a free showdown, but we don't really need it against this opponent. (i.e. we can fold if he bets)

His range has you in trouble preflop. However, usually you get to go against an uber fish with a weaker hand as well-a player with those stats will almost never fold while in the big blind, so it is not too bad. Bet the turn-value bet your marginal hands relentlessly against players this loose/passive.

bet the turn. preflop is thin but fine if MP thinks you are tight.
