Three-handed. It folds to you on the button with K♦4♦.

Three-handed, folded to you on the button with K♦4♦. Best?

WhyRaise. Three-handed, almost any hand with a high card or suited potential is a button open - hand values are extremely high with only two opponents. K-4 suited is a clear raise; folding it would be far too tight.
What happensYou raise; the blinds fold.  Three-handed ranges are huge.
Three-handed, your button opening range is enormous - with only two opponents, a king-high suited hand is a routine raise.

Three-handed, open an extremely wide range - with so few opponents, most hands are strong enough to raise.
