Re: shuffle tracking
It is possible to follow cards through the shuffle of a sloppy dealer.
A sloppy dealer doesn't 'wash' the cards between hands or only does a perfunctory job of it.
Consider the way the cards are picked up after the hand.
Usually the last hand(s) in are the ones that connected best with the board. This will often mean that straights and flushes are more likely than usual at a table with a sloppy dealer.
This is not something you can rely on, but you should remind the dealer to wash the cards.
As far as where the cards actually end up, just do a few shuffles yourself with the card(s) you want to track reversed. It will be easy to see where they go.
As the other poster pointed out, though, focus more on your game.
Don't put too much stock in this kind of thing unless you are going to study magic or blackjack.
