    Ok some background on the villain. he has been calling every hand preflop and calling raises with 29o. He's really starting to get on my nerves, taking down 80% of pots without a fight.

    Looks really strong to me.

    I have to fold here I think

    Why do you raise the flop bet?

    I raised the flop, because this guy had bet/raised every single flop from every single position 95% of the time. That is no exaggeration. I raised here thinking i was ahead, though I assumed by his call he'd hit a piece, thus making the turn twice as dangerous.

    I didnt see the description of villain - but really you should think a bit more carefully.

    Guy leads flop - gets raised, and a cold caller of that raise, he calls and STILL leads the turn HARD into two players. That shows a lot of strength.

    Im afraid of being behind to one or both of the villains.

    However - if villain has been acting up - then call and let him bluff again at the river.

    If he is bluffing a lot - then you do not need to raise him, because you would not normally like to take him off his hand (aka a bluff).

    You also have the preflop raiser behind you, so you would like to see what he does before you commit lots and lots of chips here.

    I felt with the PFR to act behind me that it was too perilous to call, so I folded.

    PFR called the turn and called a big bet when another blank hit the river.

    The villain had Q6. The other guy showed AQ.

    Playing with the villain for another hour or so, I picked up on his betting patterns. Small-medium bet means he has nothing or a small piece. Large bet or reraise means big hand. Small-bet and calling a raise means he's hit a piece or has a PP

    I was talking to him asking why he would call with Q6 on a board where 1 or 2 players obiously had an A. Implied odds he says.

    I left that table down $75 and absolutely furious that I didn't take money off a calling station, but I knew I'd start tilting if I'd stayed there any longer.

    Good laydown.

    He doesnt seem like a calling station though - it looked more like he was aggro.

    Yes, he looks very strong. He's willing to bet $50 into two opponents after calling a flop reraise. He couldn't expect to get away with a bluff here. Good fold all the same, it's hard when you've been waiting to catch a guy like this and then he makes a hand.
