Who has the range advantage on A J 4 two-tone?
Clear Button edge: the Big Blind arrives with more air, and the Button has more middle pairs.
BTN vs BB single-raised pot: the button opens, the big blind calls.
medium / two-tone
Share of each range that is sets, two pair, overpairs, straights or better, and combo draws. This is who wins the big pots.
The edge is the Button's but nobody holds the nuts here. Take the small pots down and avoid bloating anything. Try swapping the lowest card for a middle connector and watch the edge move.
Two big cards favor the range that raised them. The button dominates the ace-and-jack battles, and the flush draw is the big blind's main road back into the pot.
