PLEASE POST ANSWERS HIDDEN (IN WHITE TXT), SO NOT TO SPOIL THE FUN!

Hand 1
We have :Kd: :Ks:, we open 4bbs and get repopped by a 10/8 nit to 12bbs. We know his 3bet range is AK/QQ+. How often does he have the following hands?

1.1 AA = 6/29
1.2 KK = 1/29
1.3 QQ = 6/29
1.4 AKs = 4/29
1.5 AKo = 12/29


Hand 2
150bbs+ vs nit. Again we open with :Ts: :Td: to 4bbs, get threebet to 12bbs by same neet. We call...

Flop comes AhKsTc

How often does he have
2.1 two pair = 9/21
2.2 a higher set = 6/21
2.3 a gutshot = 6/21


Hand 3
100bb deep. We open :Ad: :Kh: MP 4bbs and get flatted by one villain in LP. We put him on 22-TT, ATs-AQs, KQs, QJs, JTs, T9s.

Flop comes Kd9h3d, we cbet 7bbs

3.1 How many hands are in his range? 74
3.2 What % of his range are we ahead on flop? 91.9%
3.3 Villain raises the flop to 20bbs, what should we do if we know he would only raise FD's and sets? We are 57.4% to win over his betting range. This is very interesting because half of his range here is semi bluffs, so you want to raise, but the other half is sets which have you crushed. Call and reevaluate on the turn, might be the best.

Edit: Stacks is right, I didn't see that we had the Ad. Fold is best now.
