It's really interesting how quick you all are to defend the poker sites.
 
First, let me clarify... I didn't say the sites are rigged. I said they use selective shuffling (there's a big difference). There's nothing illegal about selective shuffling and the sites have nothing to worry about from former employees "exposing" anything. Selective shuffles ARE random... they don't decide who wins or loses... they just guarantee lots of exciting hands and lots of conflict, keeping players in hands so someone will take a beat.
 
I live in Vegas and I've been playing poker for a [COLOR=black][U]very[/U][/COLOR] long time (way before it was cool) in cash games and tournaments all over town. I'm also a programmer by trade and have written quite a few shuffling and poker simulation routines since online poker went big. In addition, 5 of my friends and I have run 6 separate experiments where we played at the same online table, recording our cards for 500 hands each session, playing to the river each hand to see the full compliment of community cards. Our findings were very consistent... the number of straights, flushes, boats and quads was staggering (staggering!) compared to the simulations and our live game experience.
 
I'm not posting all this to start some big fight. Take it any way you like. As for me, I'll be out here in la-la land playing and winning at live poker. No offense to any of you fine players out there.
 
Having said all that, you may now continue with your insults. Have a nice life.
