SPR is 4 on drawy board, plus there's an A out there that hopefully someone else can have. I want all the money in by the turn, so I'd bet a PSB on the flop in order to setup a ~PSB shove HU on the turn. Notice how your bet size left you in a wonky bet sizing predicament on the turn (a bit too much to shove, but too little for 2 more bets).
Poor flop betsizing left us in a weird spot, especially on this bad card. But I feel committed, and any reasonable bet size leaves us with too lol little for the river. If opponent can be floaty/bluffy, I would check/shove. But against unknowns, I'd just shove at this point (wishing I had sized my flop bet better to do this).
ETA: We have top two pair on a drawy board with an SPR of not quite 4. I have no idea why so many in this thread don't believe we are 100% committed and aren't playing the hand accordingly (pot control!?!? bet/fold!?!?).

Passive games. Where Vilains arnt raising without made hand (which doesn't include 2 pair). There is plenty of room to bet fold. If we bet flop smaller.
Obviously, we are only bet/folding to the Nits and super passive players. If a guy has 1 ounce of aggression in him. Then it is a standard stack off spot.
As played. There is no way we can fold here. So just need to pick line that is best at getting it in vs wide range. Versus unknown and wet board. I am just gonna jam here.
Raising to $25. Makes playing hand alot easier post flop, but we are losing alot of value. But if we think we can still get 1 or 2 villains to call with broadways and pocket pairs. Then I am all for it.
