If you're checking the flop I would check the turn also. The 2 doesn't change anything and I'd be playing pot control at this point.

I'd rather lead at the flop. You flopped a pair on a dry board so might as well continue since it's one of the rare times you hit something on the flop in that spot. I would feel compelled to continue on that turn as well. If you get called on the turn and don't improve I would check call I guess or maybe stick out a blocker bet but it would depend on what the river is.

Read dependent on how the hand was played. I'd rather not stick it in here and that's kind of the spot you've gotten yourself into so folding is fine.

I like the line that I heard about bluffing which I think may be what you turned this hand into on the turn. The quote is "When your bluffing make sure to tell a story your opponent can understand and then believe." I am not sure what range or specific hand you would have him believe you had on the turn besides pocket dueces.
I also am not a very good or accomplished player so I am not altogether confident in this summary would love feedback.

I would bet the flop, and then bet the turn as well.

very limited information, who is your opponent, how is he playing ? how have you been playing , what does the opponent think of you ?
what hand are you representing on the turn, with your agression pre ?

I'm c-betting the flop on this, and then I would bet the turn. If not I would check the turn.

After checking the flop and leading at a turn which is a 2 its very easy for your opponent to put you on nothing, because why wouldn't you c-bet after 3 betting pre.

^^This... I would have c-bet the flop and, depending on reaction, more than likely continued on the turn as well. That way villain doesn't put you either on a bluff or "lowly" twos...

I agree, but you'd be surprised at some players' logic my friend... you'd be surprised... lol... The bluff is more likely tho'... He should have at least c-bet the flop if he was going to play the hand is prob Teg's main point...

I think the 3bet is a bit large, i think its a bad spot to 3bet with a bad hand too. If he's opening a ton of hands just flat call with 67s. 3betting 0.50 to 2.05 or whatever has to work more than 1.75 obviously but, what was the guys fold to 3bet? You need stats like this, and you just need to give us stats in general every time you post a hand, 3betting for the sake of 3betting isn't good.
