Default Re: Explain this about the random number generators

The last part is key: updated seed used to deal cards curing each dealing round; that means the PRGN is called separately for deal, flop, turn, and river.

I think we're at the same point where we were on our exchange about Paradise Poker. The initial page which I quoted is fairly clear in stating that the deck is used for the entire hand.

The page which you quoted is suggestive that the deck is continuously shuffled (assuming "each card-dealing round" is understood that way). Given the history of communication comedy with Party Poker, it is entirely possible (not to say probable) that Party means "card dealing round" as "each hand."

Given that most sites appear to employ continuous shuffle, I would guess your link is correct as opposed to the link to which I referred. But it would not be surprising if it weren't.
