should i check the turn for deception knowing that A2345 is likely?

I didn't have much reads on the villain at the time of this hand as I was fairly new to the table although i think he was an aggressive type having seen how this hand was played so far.
if he was the passive type I wouldn't have expected him to cbet with unpaired broad cards and if he had a premium pair i would have been probably raise on the flop.

my attempt on the flop was to try a semi bluff because with such low cards on the flop normally a set looks a common hand to check raise with.
it's then when the turn gives 2 that I wonder if a check is worth attempting because with 2345 if he did put me on a set it would h now has a good chance to attempt a bluff representing that A.

    no - you bet
    you are hoping he has an A and if thinks you have a set he will need to raise you
    you want to be playing for stacks
    if he has missed - you lose him but you won't get much extra even if he bluffs

    No craig! You want him to have the Ace which will be a big part of his range, and you want to make him pay with his ace.

    Bet £4 ish and ship a safe river card.

    Dunno why you think you're semi bluffing the flop. Semi bluffing (or any bluffing) suggests you think you can make a hand better than yours fold... I can't see any straights/sets/2pr or 77+ folding here, so as a semi bluff it's majorly flawed. Doing it for value is fine though imo.

    FWIW, he isn't gonna just purely put you on sets... you could c/r that flop with all sorts of 2overs + FDs, some overpairs, flopped straights, maybe even the odd 2pr.

    As above, just bet bet bet for value.
