Continuous Shuffle - Online poker RNGs...

[Zybomb]

I am (and Im sure TP also is) not by any means saying that this system isn't random. Nor am I saying that over the long term it will not even out, nor am I saying that it wont produce the same results as a normal deck given a large enough sample size.

What I am saying is exactly what TP said... that although the long run is uneffected, and the short term luck is still the same (since I can not control it)... I dont like the idea that I influence (be it blindly) my short term results based on how long I take to act. Id rather it be influenced (by short term luck yes) by something I dont have any "control" (I put it " " for a reason ) of.

Will this stop me from playing online poker? No of course not. Am I saying it's unfair... no of course not. I just dislike it. I would rather have it work like an actual deck, be randomly "shuffled" and then have a predetermined order. Just like in a live game, I wouldnt like it if the deck was constantly shuffled while there was action going on during the flop then recut and a turn was placed, then shuffled again while the turn was going on and then cut and the river was deal. Would the randomness be the same? Absolutely. Would I like it? No.
