OK. Let me try to comment on this as it does peripherally have to do with what the point I'm trying to get at with this test/game. 
 
We get this alot. "AA is soo Cliché. If they (the evil poker cartel) were going to juice to deck they would never do anything so obvious." The point I'm trying to make is that it doesn't matter what THEY do to manipulate the outcome of a hand. Any mismanagement of the shuffle, intentional or otherwise would result in anomalies throughout the process and would be noticed.
 
In order to achieve manipulation of the cards in any way, some fiddling with the RNG and or shuffling algorithm would be necessary. In order to make any result more likely than another the integrity of the shuffle MUST be compromised in whole. In order to pay Paul, you have to steal from Peter.
 
So it doesn't matter that I chose to test the RNG's with AA. I could have picked any hand, starting or final to test my hypotheses. It seemed to me that a meaningful sample size needed to test a final hand, like a straight flush, would have been prohibitably large and the pocket pair AA just seemed alot sexier than 72o.
 
I would like to take this moment to say that I am really pleased with the attention this thread has received. I've had threads in the past that I thought were the total bomb which in fact totally bombed. It never occured to me that there would I'd still be tending to my little spread sheet one month, 90 replies and 1700 views later. It's even got a 5 Star rating. 
 
Thanks to everyone who's contributed. Let's see some more Full Tilt hands.
