How often do pushes occur? That's the central question.

I'm going to guess that they're common enough to give the house a solid edge. In single-deck holdem, at least 1 in 20 pots are split. Maybe more. That's 5% of the hands going to the house.

Remember, pushes happen far more often than just the times that you both have J8. They also happen when one of you has AK and the other has A6 and the board has two pair. They happen when the board makes a straight, flush or full house and neither of you can improve it. They happen when the board is JJA97, and one of you has 45 and the other has 26.

In six-deck holdem, duplicate hands become slightly more common. And splitting hands may be much more nuanced than it looks. A644 could be played as A6 and 44, but if the dealer has a perfectly ordinary hand like J7, he's not far behind at all.

My guess is that you could lose slowly at this if you played well, but it's not nearly as pro-player as it seems right away.

this is what im trying to figure out. can you or someone create charts that show exactly the EV of situations? What if you created a card counting system similar to 6 deck blackjack.
