Average hands for 6-Card Hi-Lo Draw

[therazz]

In our dealer's choice game we play a game where you are dealt 6 cards and then you have two draws of as many cards as you wish. The game is Hi-Lo with an 8 as qualifier. Would anyone be able to tell me what the average winning high and low hands would be in a loose game with 6 players?

You're effort is greatly appreciated.

A couple of questions:

What is the average amount of cards drawn on each round?

Is this a stud game where you can see what hands are being drawn to?

You might want to repost this on the probability forum if you have not already done this.

This is like regular draw where all cards are hidden. The game is fairly loose with 5 out of 6 players usually taking at least one draw. Any player is not adverse to taking up to 4 cards.

I really appreciate your effort.
