[b]It all depends on how you design the experiment[/b]

I think you are making two mistakes here. One, I don't think it's a given that rigging would apply to ring games but not tourneys. Two, I don't believe that rigging would be to get more rake for the casino. In a way, though, that's just two different ways of saying the same thing.
 
For these two reasons, I think it would be a mistake to spend too much time studying AA and KK and QQ statistics. That's a little too obvious. Maybe JJ and AKo since they already have a love/hate relationship attached to them.
 
No, in my opinion it would make much more sense studying other card combinations. Pick one maybe that would normally be considered a hand you would fold, or something like that. See how often they win vs how often they should win. 
 
Or another good one might be to study the community cards against a control say of the 21st to 25th cards in a million shuffles by a shuffling machine. As a corollary to this, what were the winning cards, and what is [B]their [/B]expected frequency against actual frequency. This would be a good test, because it would force the issue. One or other of the sides would have to admit they were wrong. I would certainly admit I was wrong if this showed no significant difference.
