Who has the range advantage on A J 4 two-tone?

Clear Button edge: the Button has three times the strong top pairs, and the Big Blind has more middle pairs.

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

medium / two-tone

Button: 53.4% Big Blind: 46.6%
Button strong hands: 6.4% Big Blind strong hands: 4.0%

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.

Two big cards favor the range that raised them. The button dominates the ace-and-jack battles, and the flush draw is the big blind's main road back into the pot.
