And last for today.
So I raised poket 77 and get 2 calls.
On flop after BB check I CBet and BU calls.
Should I bet on turn?

No stats for opponent.
I think BU can easely hit 9 with (J9s, or 9Ts, or something like that. and also there can be any poketpair that I cant beat). I can just beat 33 44 55 and no more.
But I still have OESD. Should I bet if river is T♥: or 5♥:, if i catch my street, but flush on board? and maybe any T is good for opp, if he gets JQ?

I think that betting the flop is fine. Given that he calls, I believe we should discount 2 heart outs for OESD to be safer. It's probably close, but I think we could check/fold the turn. I don't like much to be in that position. If the turn was 5h or Th, I believe the best line would be bet/folding.

With 3rd pair and OESD, on this board, against 2, I prefer x/calling. What hands we expect them to fold here?

I'd x/f here. It's true that you have OESD, but it's a wear draw and you'll never draw to the nuts. Overpairs will call, sets will raise... Plus, even if you hit your set on the turn, how sure you are to have the best hand?

Oops, I missread that it's a heads-up pot. I agree with check/calling, but would be planning to check/fold without a straight on the turn and then check/fold the river if flushes would be there, even if we have a straight.

If you hit your straight, are you absolutely, positively 100% sure that you can take your hand to showdown and win?

Of course not, but I certainly wouldn't check/fold it.

Flop is x/call imo.

Definitelly check/call. I suggested betting the flop because didn't realize that the pot is multi-way. Maybe check/calling would be better in HU pot, too, not sure.
