3a) SB is the same villain as the last hand and his stats are now 40/23/2.19. By now, I don't think he 3-bets light. I have no reads at all on the BB. How the heck should I have played this and as played, do I fold or call?

4) I dunno why hands like this confuse me. Villain is 39/12/3.67 over almost 100 hands. Is there a better way to play this? If I'm gonna call an AI, should I just bet the turn?

5) BU had small 3 bet me in an earlier hand with AA PF. I don't have reads on MP, only that his stats are 32/11/2 after 20 hands and that he talks too much at the table. How much should I raise here, if at all?
