I understand what you're all saying, but I honestly can't blame some people for being suspicious about the shuffling when some sites seem to have certain nuances. Forget comparing live poker to online poker. That's dumb. But comparing online poker to other online poker, I see some credibility to software stereotypes. 
 
For example, PokerStars is agreed on by many people who have played multiple poker sites to give flushes irregularly. I experienced it myself. I was going to do a complete study, but I realized I didn't have the time or patience to create a large enough sample for people to find credible.
 
However, it didn't help my slight skepticism of PokerStars when I observed tables, looking only at the community and studying for flush draws. The odds of getting 3 cards of the same suit in a deal of 5 cards is 37.1%. In four separate sessions of 100 hands per session, I found PokerStars dealt 3 cards of the same suit on the board at the very least 46% of the time in each session.
 
I know it's not a billion hands, but what are the odds that four separate sessions of study are just going to happen to deviate from the expected [I]average [/I]odds by 9% EACH time? All I can say is that I thought it was really, really weird, but I'm not going to swear a site is rigged or anything based on some stupid bad beats.
