Hand 3 - I'm actually on the fence with this one. I hate cold-calling out of position, even from the SB. I've got a playable hand that has massive nut low potential and decent multiway playability.
I think it's too strong to fold but not strong enough to 3-bet out of position (from the button this would be a trivial 3-bet), so I'm thinking coldcall.

Hand 4 - trivial defend from the BB, yes? If this were Omaha Hi I would raise this heads up but in HiLo I'm just going to call with a hand with zero low potential.

Hand 5: Trivial fold yes? I like the nut flush cards but too much potential to make a sucker low hand or a sucker straight.

Hand 6 - I wish the 4 was a 3 or a 2 but this hand seems to have more than enough high and low potential to 3-bet to try to isolate the raiser and create dead money in the pot from the blinds.
Thoughts? Thanks.
