PokerStars, €23.25 + €1.75 - Hold'em No Limit - 10/20 - 3 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

BU: 280 (14 bb)
SB: 770 (39 bb)
BB (Hero): 450 (23 bb)

Pre-Flop: (30) Hero is BB with 6♠ 5♥
1 fold, SB raises to 40, Hero calls 20

Flop: (80) 6♦ 5♣ 4♥ (2 players)
SB bets 20, Hero raises to 110, SB calls 90

Turn: (300) Q♦ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets 300 (all-in), SB folds

According to the solver flop is a call. I don't get why the call is for protection or to not have a capped range on the turn by calling only marginal hands. What do you think ? The difference is substantial because in the second case calling is bad against recreational players. As played what do you think of turn shove?

Raise looks good. I imagine solver is effectively indifferent to raising and flatting, and it's intending to flat flop to raise turn (or bet turn when checked to). 65 is one of the better hands to do this with since you block other TP and MP that would b/c. But in practice, people often bet too strong of a range on flop and barrel turn too rarely to make the slowplay worthwhile--so the indifference is broken and raising flop is likely strictly better than flatting.

Turn shove seems fine/standard. Not sure how tf we can get more value with our hand vs villain's b/c range--both check and betting less than all-in seem difficult for accomplishing this given stacks.
