Flop I'd always check-call.
This is the best turn card for you (tied with 2). I think you should be check-raising here a lot. If you don't check-raise (but check-call), you do it to trap.
River jam is roughly 3,5x pot. You need ~43,6% equity to call (ignoring rake). Against a random A3 you have 50,3%. I think it must be a call.
flop feels pretty iffy to me given only mid pair/2nd NLD and no backdoors while OOP. could you elaborate on why you feel it's c/c?
also OTR, how would you handle playing riv shove vs a tighter player? like if you know shoving frequency here is really high with, say, A3/pair of T's+, it's a fold, correct? like maybe you've seen them just make a PSB OTR before with NL/middling pairs, and checking back all bare nut lows.
caterina, i'm definitely check/jamming on turn. think check/shove is best. given nut low made and a pair. plus folding out a better pair is super good here. would like to hear what others think though.
