I find the turn tricky to play when we go 2:2 in a HU pot, especially OOP. I remember DD suggesting checking everything OOP there. Is my turn play "standard"? What about check/raise/call & break to a 3-bet? Or check-call & pat? This guy was pretty aggro so maybe C/R would be best. Thanks.

thats how i play it also but id like to hear more opinions because better lines may exist

I generally play it the same and would consider bluff catching the river. I think there is an argument for C/R patting, but I don't think I like it with this hand as we have such a smooth draw underneath that we don't really mind breaking. It also helps to know what range villain will bet on the turn when checked. Some bet close to 100% of the time, others check back relatively strong 1-c draws.

this is one of the toughest spots in TD imo and how you should play it depends on your overall gameplan for this spot. if you want to bet alot then this is fine.

consider bluff catching the river.

I considered it but seeing all those 2's made me think he had something like a rough 8 or 9 rather than a snow.
