The table below presents the respective distributions of the category of winning hands. As was previously assumed, on each deal all hands go to showdown. Unlike the previous analyses, this one does not seem amenable to analytical (combinatoric) solutions so I ran 10,000,000 deals of each poker variant.
As in the previous threads, I looked at 6-max Short Deck vs 6-max Long Deck. I want to investigate the distribution of winning hands in Short Deck vs Long Deck. Here I want to take a more 'high level' view. In previous threads, I looked at how often does a Flush occur in Short Deck vs Long Deck, how often do Quads occur in Short Deck vs Long Deck, and how often do Full Houses occur in Short Deck vs Long Deck. Similar to PLO, the in-hand swings in Short Deck are wild it being common for each card (flop, turn, river) to greatly change who is ahead in the hand. Pre-flop equities run much tighter than in Long Deck (regular 52-card NLHE poker). Short Deck is a wildly fast-moving game with frequent large pots and tons of action. I am sure that everyone knows by now that Short Deck is played with a 36-card deck since all the 2's, 3's, 4's, and 5's have been removed (of course, this is why Short Deck is also called Six-Plus poker). The Triton poker series has popularized short deck hold-em.
