Hi M.B.E.,

Given the number of possibilities, you can get almost arbitrarily close to having an even three-way matchup. I used a calculator I've just written to randomly sample about 2% (a few hundred thousand) of the possible combinations to find the ones closest to being even.

Here are a couple that get extra credit for being reasonable pre-flop hands:

K/images/graemlins/heart.gif J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif : 33.49%
8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif : 33.25%
A/images/graemlins/spade.gif 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif : 33.14%

A/images/graemlins/spade.gif 3/images/graemlins/club.gif : 33.42%
T/images/graemlins/spade.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif : 33.29%
K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif : 33.17%

matchup than the one below? [Just fiddling around with
