The following questions relate to Texas Holdem.

1. Blockers: If you hold QsQh in your hand, what is the probability (to 1 decimal place) your opponent holds a hand in the following range {AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, AKs, KQs}?

 
 
 
 
 

2. Blockers: If you hold AsKh in your hand, an opponent is x% less likely to be holding AA than if you had no relevant blockers. How much is x%?

 
 
 
 
 

3. Blockers: You are playing live poker, and a player who folds preflop accidentally exposes one of his cards to the table, which happens to be the ace of clubs. You go to the flop heads-up versus one opponent – you think he has all possible combos of AK (both suited, and unsuited) amongst his range. With no blockers in your hand, or knowledge of the exposed card, your heads-up opponent would have 16 combos of AK. You have KsTs in your hand. How many combos of AK are possible for your opponent, with all the information you have?
