Who has the range advantage on J 6 2 rainbow?
Clear Button edge: the Big Blind arrives with more air, and the Button has more strong top pairs.
BTN vs BB single-raised pot: the button opens, the big blind calls.
dry / rainbow
Share of each range that is sets, two pair, overpairs, straights or better, and combo draws. This is who wins the big pots.
With the range and nut edge together, a small bet with the Button's whole range profits. Try swapping the lowest card for a middle connector and watch the edge move.
A jack-high desert. The button has more jacks with better kickers and all the overpairs; the big blind's middling suited hands find almost nothing to continue with.
