Who has the range advantage on 7 7 2?
Small Button edge: the Button has more two pairs, and the Big Blind has more bottom pairs.
BTN vs BB single-raised pot: the button opens, the big blind calls.
medium / rainbow / paired
Share of each range that is sets, two pair, overpairs, straights or better, and combo draws. This is who wins the big pots.
The pair on board favors the Button's range. Small bets work well because so few hands can continue. Try unpairing the board and see who the trips were protecting.
Now the trips live in the caller's range: the big blind defends the 76s, 87s, and A7 hands the button never opens. Overpairs still lead on raw equity, but the nuts have switched sides.
