Actually, I feel better calling a raise with a SC HU then in a multiway pot, in spite of the better odds that gives me on the pf call. Reason is that on quite a few flops you figure to be good HU a reasonable amount of time (such as in hand 1), but not multiway. Also there is the danger of being overflushed (rare, but still).
Finally, HU you'll have more chance of stealing the pot.
Hand 1) I call, unless the UTG raisor is unlikely to CBet with overcards. Basically I'm looking for good enough (implied odds) to improve my hand or to bluff a club.
Hand 2) I almost always raise there.
Hand 3) I call, unless stacks are very deep, in which case I may consider raising.
