That's (I think) why the solver checks *a lot* on this flop, including A3 (and AA!)
I see the point of "we play 2NL, screw the solver", but we might as well try to learn the standard play and not take bad habits.
I think our check is more than we are just not doing that great on this board plus being Oop which always increases checking frequency, yes we have best top pairs and top set, but no top two or 77, 33 really. When co does have these hands and even more so Vs the small 3bet.
We also have a load of pairs that don't really benefit from betting TT-KK
With the AA check this makes a ton of sense as hand is basically indestructible and blocks most of there calling range.
Think with what you said about co having all Ax suited makes this even more of a check in practice as I would guess that a lower stakes regs are going to bet too many of there top pair weak kicker hands that should check back in gto land. And then we can check raise and try to play for stacks
I don't think we should just blindly play gto at 2nl as we will leave a ton of money on the table but we should use it as a baseline to create our exploits from when we know how the population is deviating
