Who has the range advantage on T 5 2 rainbow?

Clear Button edge: the Button has more overcard hands, and the Big Blind has four times the gutshots.

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

dry / rainbow

Button: 52.9% Big Blind: 47.1%
Button strong hands: 8.8% Big Blind strong hands: 6.9%

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.

Low enough that the big blind starts to connect, dry enough that connecting means one modest pair. The button still has every overcard pair and overpair, so the edge holds even as it thins.
