NL25 A3s - two pair facing a turn raise

Check call turn, check cry river is my guess. The value is getting very thin imo. Button's cold call is suited stuff (non-aces and non-hearts fold flop or turn) and pocket pairs, which if didnt hit a set probably fold flop/turn as well. Im not sure we get called by many worse hands on the turn.

As played i think we could go either way, with no reads im leaning fold probably

Flop bet is spicy. Double barrel on a double complete card is extra spicy. These seem like intuitive places to find passive action and/or pot control, how come so aggressive?

Yeah, you are right, this should have been a x/c, prob from the flop. I thought I'm gonna buy myself a cheaper showdown, but I am OOP, so that wouldn't help.

I have a heuristic for theses spots, which I might have picked up from somewhere else, but I've refined it a little bit. Let's call it 'The Rule of Two Sets'.

"If non-BvB SRP IP villain can have two different sets or a straight, we should check range. The only exception are the K high boards. And when we do cbet, we always cbet small."

That's ofc not a 100% accurate way to describe solver strategy or solver strategy at all, it's just a way I have tried to make my life a little bit easier, and I know that's not very easy to exploit or notice from my frequencies, at least for now. It's also cool in a way that when we do face players who over 3bet IP but this time they just called, the we can exploit their more than solver capped calling range on boards like JTX by betting more, because the they can only have one set, not two. Or if they under 3bet, we can basically check range all boards that are not AKX. Smarter people can tell me how stupid that is, but I play with my money, not theirs 😃

I also know a lot of regs who virtually never cbet OOP SRP other than BvB, or mayble just K high boards, and that hasn't stopped them from winning.

AXX boards aren't usually that great for OOP to begin with due to IP having quite a bit of AMs and ALs in their calls, even more if they are not an aggressive reg.

Based on this, I would check the flop all day every day against the vast majority of players. Can't really comment on the turn because I haven't been in such spot in ages, but the action kind of wants to make me find my inner nit and fold. I wouldn't bet the turn at all if I happened to bet 50 on the flop for some reason.

Based on this, I would check the flop all day every day against the vast majority of players. They can have 22, 33, and 54, so more than one requirement for me to check range.

Usually I do check quite a lot, but I simply tried to divide my range into betting and x/c + occasional x/r, but that might be harder than I think. So yeah, range check sounds like a good solution + we are protecting weaker part of our range, which could take a stab OTT, if Villain check back, especially on board where - as you mentioned - Villain might be capped.

I normally advocate for range check flop at low stakes but on A23 less clear. We definitely still can but as villain has no sets/2pair and 54 is more of a 3-bet hand pre I think it's correct to start building bets. Turn is interesting though cause when we go big flop villain has a much higher flush density than we do. As in I expect a large % of villains range is Ax and flushes. Vs that range really only checks make sense so I would check range. If we went B25 OTF I could see reason to play B25 again but when we B50 flop I think range check turn
