How do you guys play three single suited straight cards as
Jd-Td-9s-x
7s-6s-5d-x
i would be very interested in the following questions:
1.) do you 3bet these hands preflop or cold call?
2.) how do you play them in/out of position?
3.) does it matter where the gap is (top gap/middle gap) in how you play them?
4.) do you differentiate between high straight cards AKQx and low straight cards 765x in how you play them
any input is highly appreciated. thank you.

1. Raise pf in uponed pot. Wouldn't limp or 3b. In a raised pot, i'd call in position.
2. really need flop to connect well to continue. After all, it is a speculative hand. i.e. 8d7xd
3. If gap is at top, just fold pf. i.e. J98x - harder to make nut straight. and if u get non-nut straight, can get expensive.
4. high cards have a natural dominance over low cards. your always more comfortable playing AQ two pair than 75 two pair.
My opinion anyways.

1. Raise pre unopened from co and btn. Would iso a loose passive. Would call a single raise in position too. If x gives a double suit might consider 3betting.
2. If x is a suited Ace, then open from utg and mp also and blinds.
3. Wouldn't play if gap at top except on btn and co
4. Don't mind multiway action with the higher runs since we can dominate other draws
