Similar concept...
AX on KXXL turn, has equity against top of calling range + makes better hands fold.
LX on AXXL turn, has equity against top of calling range + makes better hands fold + blocks best combos of OOP range (XL, AL two pairs)
Something like QXXL where hero has KJ and bluffs is same thing, equity against top of calling range, makes better hands fold, and blocks some of the better calls (KQ/QJ). Less incentive to bluff with LX turn here since OOP defends some A highs and you have other hands to choose from to fill in the bluffs. You'll also see low pocket pairs be put into a polarized betting range on turns on like AXX as well... like 22-55 type hands, that mostly unblock villains range and get the same benefits.... getting better to fold + still having a small amount of equity to improve to a set.
