$1/1 game 6-handed. Effective stack is around $160 right now

Hero in SB with A2o

CO raises to $2, BTN, and Hero calls. Pot is now $7

Flop comes 345 rainbow w/ 2 spades (no draw for hero)

Hero checks. CO bets $5, BTN raises it to $20. What should the hero do?

Do you have any reads? I’m certainly not folding at this point, but I’d like to know more about my opponents if possible.

Yes, reads and playing styles of the CO & BTN are critical here. That said, the CO looks TAG/LAG and likely has TT+, AQ+, AK+, so isn't a threat. The BTN, on the other hand, could have a set, or the horrid 67.

Still, in the absence of reads and being OOP, I'm going to 3-bet to $45. What I expect to happen is that the CO will tank/fold and the BTN will call. If, however, the BTN 4-bets, I will fold.

If the turn is a blank, I'll go allin. If it pairs the board, I'll check and evaluate.

All this, however, depends on the playing styles of the CO & BTN.
