Shouldnt we consider shipping on flop or latest on turn? Our two pair wont improve...

Just felt like 86 or a set. If I shove turn, no worse hand is calling me, and to do that only for protection is a bit too costly (32$), in my opinion.

These are the spot where from a balance point of view we have a super clear bluff-catcher on flop and turn. Sometimes in practice this is not the case since our opponent may not always have a well balance bluff-range here and could primarily be raising sets.

We potentially have one of our strongest bluffcatchers on the river (depends how we play other stuff on flop and turn such as sets). But in practice likely an exploitative river fold at these limits.
