Re: Do you believe the shuffle is really random online???
Hopefully, the shuffles on your Internet poker site are quasi pseudo random. That is the quality of the pseudo random numbers and shuffling technique is good enough to do the job; that is it is equally fair to all of the poker players. Today, it is easy to produce these fair deals. But it is also easy to cheat. Hopefully your Internet poker site can be trusted and is always honest.
Some people believe that the leading Internet poker sites are making lots of money and they don't have to revert to cheating and possibly get a bad reputation. The truth is; there is always the danger of cheating. I have seen it and/or experienced it many times in both home games, and in casinos. The odds of being cheated or conned in a home game where you don’t know the players is probably about 95 percent – that is just the way it is. There is also many ways to be cheated in casinos – believe me: “MANY.”
