I apologize if this has been posted before. It's the first time I've heard this one. It was fun to figure out and actually took me a little while to get all three. You're playing Omaha.
Your holding is: 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Name 3 different hands you can make, which leave you with holding the nuts (give an example of the board). No chops.
Before someone says it... Assume a free play in the blind.

You're better than I. That's quicker than I got it.. The three's full of two's took me the longest.

A fourth:
3x3x on a non-paired board with a crooked dealer.
These are neat problems. Thanks for posting. I got the first two nearly immediately, but not the 3rd.
