I've got a spreadsheet calculator for super stud somewhere. I not at all sure that 2 extra dead low cards make multiway showdowns really unlikely.

Here's where we both agree and disagree. I agree that it is easy to catch bad with the 456, but disagree that it is bad to do so.
Having the 456 be so easy to get dinked is my whole reason for playing it. I'm paying $30 on third street with a potential of $150 bets on the river, and an easy decision on 4th street. A jack is the perfect card--it lets me bail for minimum expense--I'm done with it.
