Even when you hit your hand you are likely to get 1/4.

Wackjob - Not true.

It is true that you'll often get quartered.

How often depends on the pre-flop tightness of your opponents and what particular two cards of the hand the end up being used to make low. But in a full game you will not get quartered (plus sixthed or eighthed) more than about two hands out of five, and if some of your opponents fold starting hands like 3489 (as they should, regardless of suitedness) you'll get fractionated less than that.

"Likely" and "often" are not the same.
