Random Shuffling on the net

[Graham C]

I didn't know about it but it doesn't make any difference to me.  Like you say Claw, it is comforting to know that had I had not folded, I wouldn't have hit the hand.

Had you not folded, you might have hit, had you called quicker you might have missed....

but you dont know either way - its random

I'm still not fussed.

I'm not trying to make you care, I'm just interested!

According to quantum physics its the same with a live deck.

Yes, I've heard that before too.

So when people get outdrawn, it's all Heisenberg and Schrodinger's fault now, is it? Players are always looking for someone else to blame...

If Heisenberg is in seat two and takes an age to fold and Scrodinger folds in seat 4 too quickly thie could be correct.

Ladbrokes do not use the continuous shuffling method like Party and stars, indeed like most of the other sites.

Ladbrokes RNG shuffle, then deal, once the hand has started no further shuffling is done so it doesn’t matter how long you spend making up your mind; the flop/turn and river cards are at that time predetermined and will not change.

monkey will stick to the tried and trusted method of pushing whichever button flashes most

Is Prima the same as Ladbok's?

[thelodger]

No, I may be wrong but I am sure Prima use the continuous shuffle, it may be a good idea for blondepoker to look into and make a report on the shuffle of each site.

just as a thought - this confirms my theories too

[Graham C]

OK, this is annoying me now.  I know it makes no difference when I press call/fold/raise etc but since I've read this post I've been thinking about when to press the damn buttons wondering what difference it would make

It actually is.  Many internet players call whenever they have any draw whatsoever on the grounds that they will win in either this universe or another......
