Re: How Random are Cards Really Dealt?
that's the part of the problem with it ... the seeds
you are correct that nowadays the seeds can use so large a number versus 20 years ago that the generator can appear random, but it is still not truly random due to the fact that the seed number is finite.
Having said all that, randomess and rigged are 2 different arguments. And MTTs are unique in that you will see more hands than playing ring games and might notice some things that really might get you thinking wth is up with all this.
I would love for the casinos (online) to open up their historical hand databases and see if the winning hand distributions are among the generally (precomputer days) accepted "norms".
