I'll reply to your other post later - only have a sec now.
It stuns me that you're still not able to wrap your head around this.
Your point of "it could have been the same flop" is perfectly valid... but come on. What's more likely: That a continuously shuffled deck would deal the EXACT same board cards, resulting in the scenario above, or that the same continuously shuffled deck would deal DIFFERENT board cards, making any statements along the line of "Glad I folded this" completely moot?
I know your answer will be that I can't PROVE that the flop would have been different (despite the verifiable mathematics behind it), or more likely that you think it's silly to even think about it this - but I don't get that, since in reality, it's just math. But whatever. If you are more comfortable thinking that a continuously shuffled deck isn't actually changing as it's being shuffled, that's fine, but at least admit that you understand that that's not the case.
