Agree, and it's probably a good bit less than 1/4 of a percent. If you play 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe with a perfect 9/6 JOB strategy, it reduces the EV from 99.64% to 99.61%.
These kind of calcs are easy to do. You just need a pay table with hand frequencies accurate to 5 significant figures. These kinds of tables can be found in VPW, DRA-VP, and WinPoker, among others. To analyze the question in Bob's column, you'd just start with a table of 9/6 JOB frequencies and change the Quad pay from 25 to 80 and the 2-pair pay from 2 to 1. Then multiply each pay times its corresponding frequency and add up the 10 terms. Your answer should be 99.61%.
