I never know how to handle these

Hi Rob - Good points in your post!

The 1/6 th carve up is rare.

[/ QUOTE ]"Rare" is not the word I would have chosen. I like "less likely than the 1/4 carve up" better than "rare."

Specifically, in a nine player game that is very loose pre-flop, I think you probably get quartered roughly seven or eight times as often as you get sixthed.

Specifically I think it's about 37% for getting quartered to about 5.3% for getting sixthed in a nine player no-fold-'em game. That's as calculated and also as simulated.

Of course in a real game it depends on how many of your opponents will see the flop with another A4XY. (Seems like almost all of mine will).
