Ahh I'd hoped they'd been using hardware RNG's, wasn't sure though. Good to know.

I just had thought. I'm tired so maybe it won't make sense when I'm more awake.

With RNGs online, the shuffle and deal - we are taking - to be totally random.

In a live game, possibly more so at home games where shuffling may be poor, do you think it's possible that we can get a subconscious 'feel' for what cards may likely fall?

At one time Blackjack players made good money by counting cards. A step beyond that was taken when players began to use observed patterns and sequencies in badly shuffled decks and they were able to spot when an Ace would fall - giving them a massive edge.

So my point is, do you think that when playing at a live game, we can pick up more of a feel for the cards and use predictability more than we might do when playing online?

No definate answer to that of course. Just a thought..

7letters, please don't start going to the flop with a 27 just because you think the dealer is flopping a lot of sevens and deuces lately. All the herendous beats and aces on the river in online poker would get anyone thinking. The more setup hands and luck cards that hit, the faster the tournaments get over with, and the next one begins. So "RNG" I think not, but you do get your fair share of badbeats and coolers just like the next player does, so setup? yes, but unfair well maybe not, considering that everyone is experiencing the same kind of variance.
