How to overplay two pair no kicker.

Disagree with this. I will give u my take on the hand (also in hand description)

When he check raises on the flop ( large raise too) i would say his range includes flush draws, 57, 6 4, realistically I don't see him doing that often with top pair hands like u say, so at this point i am thinking i am ahead a decent percentage of the time as my c betting range is still really wide here.

The turn card of the 4, for me dictated my line for the rest of the hand (maybe wrongly!?)

When i call his big check raise, he is gonna barrell the turn so much. Any 2 pair hand that may have now filled up, or even if u include those 1 pair hands u mention are always going to fire the turn here, there is no reason not to, why lose value?? He leads out for a min bet, which screams 'I need another free card!' At this point, personally I weight his range massively towards Ax clubs hands or other flush draws, as nothing else makes any sense at all. So with my hand, I feel like i am almost always good on the turn, unless he is getting crazy creative. I would be interested to know what u would have done on the turn here fuzzy?

I raise because I feel i gain a tonne of value by charging him to draw here. In my eyes his shove makes no sense and still reps an oddly played flush draw and i snapped it off. It would have been a really freaky way to play any hand that was ahead of me in my opinion.

U say how to overplay two pair no kicker, as I have said I disagree as I feel like i am ahead of a massive majority of his range, and he can almost never have the hand range u suggest in my opinion. But please suggest a different line and reasons and I could be stood corrected.

Its a fair point Matt,

how often though do people call from the small blind with cards you suggested.....not very often.Not profitable to call with these (5,7 or 6,4 etc)out of position.Just losing money in long run so you can rule them out unless he is a total fool...but only you'd know that playing with him.

Its more likely he has small pocket pair or ace 8-ace jack ish or q 10 k 10s.Ace q i think would raise out of position.When he raises flop so large it does like flush draw.However when he bets 0.20 and then raises massive on turn,maybe its just the nit i am but i think you have to be getting out of there and wait for a better spot.At best youu are against flush draw and overs which gives him quite a few outs.At worst he has a bigger ten or 6s and your drawing very slim.
Again the nit in me i feel your best calling his 0.20 albeit a pointless bet and weak looking...and lookiing for safe card on river.Check call river unless flush or overs hit.If he is drawing to flush and misses hes going to have to bet anyway and if you are beat you lose minimum.

But Im a nit!

This villain's minbet OTT should be interpreted as a check, so you should check back, meaning flat the minbet. You know this as I know that you are a competent player, so I can only assume that villain's line tilted you as if we are raising the turn minbet then we are most certainly doing so with the intention of raise/folding. Once you size the turn raise this spasticly you more or less level yourself into calling off the rest of your chips.
