Who has the range advantage on Q 7 2 rainbow?
Small 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.
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.
Same story as the king-high version one rung down. The button holds the AQ, KQ, and QJ combos plus every overpair, and the big blind folded most of those preflop. Queens over sevens over deuces is raiser country.
