Your sizing on the flop is good as you nice prepare for a turn jam.
Turn - you picked up more equity and shoving seems reasonable when you have less than a pot size bet.
Overall, nice hand!
Thank you, but I think it plays better as a call (most of the time). Because if we are going to take this line with this hand we have too many combo's we will do this with, as compared to our value hands. Of course if we think villian is a nit we can add a lot more of these combo's in our c/r range. Though I will agree with you that I like the sizing that I chose given villian's stack size. If villian covered us I think 900 is a better sizing to use.

Doesn't become check-raising with our good hands super profitable if our opponents think a c/r on a paired board isn't that scary? So if that's the case then why would we not want to c/r hands like A3 here?
I agree with you that the turn shove would have been a lot better on the 2s since the As is way better for his range. I'm just a little confused about your statement OTF.
