Re: Do you believe the shuffle is really random online???
Having given this subject a bit more thought and observation of hands dealt on PP and watching poker tourneys on TV, I have observed similar "random-non-random" events in both. For example, on PP, I was dealt a "6" in the pocket on seven straight hands. There was also a "6" somewhere in the flop for some of those hands. I also observed on TV, one player get 55, then in the next hand a different player gets 55, and the 5 also came up in the flop.
Chaos theory will combine with random perfection thereby creating the illusion of order.
You can get really paranoid if you think "they" are watching you, "they" have singled you out, and you think that you are important enough for "them" to mess with your head.
Peace.
