1. With AK, what are the odds that one of the 9 opponents are holding a KK or AA?
2. With AK, what are the odds that one of the 9 opponents are holding a AA, KK, or QQ?

It doesn't matter. You can't discern what they have or don't have based on odds, you can only do so based on behaviour and then discount combos by card removal.
So if someone will only 4bet with AA, KK and QQ and you hold AK, then you know they have QQ 50% of the time, AA 25% and KK 25%.
Or say some old nit 7bet shoves a 500bb stack, and you hold AK...he has AA 100% of the time. It doesn't matter what the chances were preflop, based on his behaviour he has narrowed his range to that exact hand.
