Message: [QUOTE="glworden, post: 1112960, member: 35332"] I can answer some of your questions. There are different Random Number Generators used by different sites. The specifics are often described somewhere on the website, although more detail is usually available by asking support. Where did the big description earlier in this thread come from? RNGs produce a much more random result than any human dealer is capable of. The two most common RNG methods are: 1. Continuous random shuffle. Most sites use this. The universe of available cards is not limited to single deck. All of the cards at all of the tables are constantly shuffled and a random card is dealt at your table. One second earlier or one second later and it would be a different card. The software is set up to prevent a duplicate card being dealt at your table. In other words, if somebody already holds the ace of spades (even folded) and the ace of spades is the next in the cue, the RNG goes on to the next card. 2. Random shuffle then pre-set deck. This is the method PokerStars uses. I know of no other site that does. A full 52 card deck is shuffled, then the order of the cards in the deck is set and the cards are dealt just as they are in a regular game, although I don't think they throw off a burn card. Method one makes for some strange concepts for the sites that have rabbiting. On Carbon, for example, you rabbit the hand. One second earlier or later and the rabbit cards are completely different. So it's not really an indication at all of which cards would have come. As for your losing 90% with aces and whatever, we hear that all the time and it's just not accurate. Keep long term records (poker tracker of HEM) and you'll find out, just like everybody else, that your distribution of cards falls into a very predictable and narrow range. You remember the bad beats, and perhaps you haven't played enough hands - so your perception is skewed. There is no doom button. They are not targeting you. Like somebody said, if you're getting better hands with play money, it's probably because you're seeing more hands to the river. Gary [/QUOTE]
