Who has the range advantage on Q J T two-tone?

Clear Button edge: the Big Blind has double the gutshots, and the Button has more bottom pairs.

BTN vs BB single-raised pot: the button opens, the big blind calls.

wet / two-tone / connected

Button: 54.5% Big Blind: 45.5%
Button strong hands: 28.8% Big Blind strong hands: 24.6%

Share of each range that is sets, two pair, overpairs, straights or better, and combo draws. This is who wins the big pots.

The Button has the edge on a draw-heavy board. Bet bigger with a tighter range and charge the draws. Try a high card in place of a connector and watch the board flip the Button's way.

The most action-heavy texture in poker. Both ranges arrive with pairs, straights, and draws stacked on top of each other, so equities run close and stacks go in with hands that are rarely far apart.
