So I think preflop is street I am most questioning myself. I sometimes 3bet these two broadway card + lower pocket + nut suit hands. DS combo would be fine at least but too wide with this? Flop usual 1/3. Turn I hit boat and thought to go for x-r to give villain chance to stab in case he floated. Tx will usually bet anyway so that doesnt matter too much. Usually I would tend to bet myself again but cant be that bad option now and then with sort of locked down hand. In a way that we are not afraid of straight or flush draws.

If button is weak (folding to 3-bets and/or folding to cbets a lot) then I'd consider 3-betting. Else it's fold for me.

On turn you have the best possible hand to balance your checking range because you are not blocking either T's or A/K-high flush draws. Those hands will bet often when checked as well as some of the overpairs + weak flush/straight draw combos. Well played. Most of the trips I would always double barrel.

Good rule of thumb is that even from SB we don't 3bet single suited medium strength hands that much.

AJ88ds 3bet, AJ88ss call.

Solver likes to 3bet AT88ss, but even in solver sim (where BU should fold 20% of hands to 3bet) 3betting that hand is virtually breakeven. Almost same EV as in folding.

In my experience the EV of a call goes up versus solver sims at small stakes, where most players are playing postflop far from optimal. 3betting hands that rarely hit flop strong are problematic as opponents on the other hand won't fold as much as they should on the flop. With AJ88 most of the value comes from FE (pre or flop) as the hand itself is far from a strong one. And when we play at games where FE is lower, I would be really keen NOT to 3bet these type of hands.
