Who has the range advantage on 9 8 7 rainbow?
Clear Button edge: the Button has nearly all the overcard hands, and the Big Blind has more gutshots.
BTN vs BB single-raised pot: the button opens, the big blind calls.
medium / rainbow / connected
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.
Not the caller's parade it looks like. The big blind re-raises most of its suited connectors before the flop, so what it calls with here is mostly one-gappers, offsuit hands, and gutshots, while the button holds every overpair and the big-card hands. Those big pairs still need care on a board this connected.
