Nut advantage is distinct from general range advantage: it refers specifically to the proportion of very strong hand combinations (nuts and near-nuts) in a player’s range compared to the opponent. A player with nut advantage can deploy larger bet sizes and overbets more frequently because they hold the combinations that block opponent calls. In final street decisions, nut advantage is often more important than general range advantage for justifying large bet sizes. The player lacking nut advantage should be more restrained with large bets even when holding overall range advantage.
