Who has the range advantage on K K 2?
Big Button edge: the Big Blind has more bottom pairs, and the Button has more two 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.
A paired king board shrinks both ranges to a kicker war the button wins: it simply arrives with more kings and more big pairs. The big blind's consolation is that when it does hold the king, the button rarely believes it.
