Each run has the same odds, so the average share of the pot does not change. What changes is the spread. The two runs share one deck, so a card used in the first run cannot appear in the second. That is why the remaining swing is a little under half, not exactly half.
| Matchup | Average share, once | Average share, twice | Swing, once to twice | Variance kept | Pot chopped 1 to 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aces vs kings | 81.2% | 81.2% | 0.389 to 0.265 | 46% | 32.4% |
| Deuces vs ace-king offsuit | 52.9% | 53.0% | 0.498 to 0.341 | 47% | 52.2% |
Same average. A smoother ride.
These counts are for study and post-session review. Where a row comes from a simulation, the caption names how many deals were run. Where a stack or a pot is made up, the caption says so. None of these figures is an instruction for a live pot.
