Who has the range advantage on A A 8?
Equities are close, but the monsters live in the Big Blind's range: the Big Blind has more sets, and the Button 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.
Even equities, but the trips live in the Big Blind's range. Showdown value is for showdowns, not for stacks. Try unpairing the board and see who the trips were protecting.
The button opens far more aces than the big blind defends, so the trips sit firmly with the raiser. Everything else is a bluff-catching contest where position does the heavy lifting.
