I think that the best way to think about it is to go on as if the cards are going to come up the same no matter what. This might not be the actual case, but just make that assumption and play by the odds. Just think that the deck IS in a sequential order and go off that.

What is Poker RNG?(Priced at $457)
Poker RNG is a softwares that claim that it can figure the RNG formula of poker websites out. Therefore it can predict the community cards, the dominant suit on the flop, and hole cards of two other players at the table.
The way it works is that you punch in your Hole Cards and the Community Cards in the software (A screen shot of the actual software is shown below). Then based on it's database (which has been built by you) it will predict the flop, dominant suit on the flop and hole cards of two players at the table with an accuracy of 99.9%.

I think that you, like most people, confuse randomness with evenness. Random implies a certain lever of "clumpting." A perfectly even outtcome is not random, but must be programmed.
Shown a random arrangement of numbers (or dots) and a "manufactured" list made to look random, most people would pick the wrong list as random.
It's the way our brains work. We did not evolve to understand random.

well thats nice to know they shuffle the cards during play to make it harder to cheat, but sounds weird that ur play changes how the cards come out? if thats so, i think thats laaaaaaaaaaaame!

That's a scam, RNGs (good ones at least) cannot be cracked any better than roulette wheels can (there was a thread about this). Randomness does not depend on previous events. If this worked, everyone would buy it, even if it costs almost $500. Poker sites use items such as machine entropy and client activity. The theory of getting enough data may work for a pseudo-random number generator (and they're all technically pseudo-random, but you can get more random than most arithmetic means that several random functions use), but no program using the theory it claims to can crack an RNG on the order that most poker sites use. If it has a crap RNG on the other hand... look at this site: How We Learned to Cheat at Online Poker: A Study in Software Security

I guess this would kill my Rabbit Hunt Thread, being they change every mili-second on some sites. (In a casino it would still be a question though ) .
Does anyone know if Bodog does this? I don't know if I would like playing if my thinking about bet/raise/check changes the cards. Obviously if I fold I could care less
So on Full Tilt you're pretty much playing a Hold Em' slot machine?

It passes with time Phil. After I read what I read, I too suffered that same symptom.
FWIW, PS said, at that time, that they were using the same method.
Yes, delaying your decision does change the cards, but the delay is on a quantum time scale, and what will that delay change your card to ?
Doesn't matter. We are not hardwired well enough to manipulate something we can't even calculate.

There can be no such thing as randomness. Even in the big bang theory, random was not perfect, came close, but not perfect. Those imperfections lead over time to the formation of clumps, systems of clumps, and galaxies.
If there is no ariation of randomness (patterns) then there will only and always be only one play in poker. Determine the average winning hand, which I figure to be a pair of 9's or tens, and play any hand better than that, or that has the potential to be better than that.
Actually I figure the average winning hand is about a pair and a half, which does not equate to 3 of a kind.
You should trust me, I am the resident, self appointed flopologist!

yes if you didn't have this feature and could hack the system (know what the next card was since it wasn't being shuffled constantly) that would be a disaster for honest players like you and me

I have read the description of the method FT was using earlier this year. Oddly Phil Gordon's description of what he thinks is going on does NOT jibe with what the writen policy was when I read the posted description. Perhaps it has changed.
At that time the description, which is ery complicated, said that as each new game is started, a complete deck is added to the pool of decks. And that pool is shuffled. I read it to say that, for example, if there were 1000 games going on, there would be 52,000 cards in the deck. There was some hint that that mega deck was in constant shuffle, and that as a card was needed, one was provided from that mega deck, and the software decided if it was an appropriate card for the table in question. Obviously a 2nd Qh for the table would be returned to that mega deck and another card tested for suitability.
There was some mention of timings made at a quantum level, and a brief explanation of how a typical RNG works, and an equally brief explanation of how ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Just like the guy said next time u fold 7 2 off and the flopp comes 7 2 2 dont feel bad for folding because if u played that actually wouldnt have happened.

The continuous shuffle is used on most sites, Party is one of the few that doesn't (at least last time I read up).
I like the continuous shuffle because it completely removes any sense of "if only I'd called" when you make a correct fold and the miracle card hits. It makes 0 (zero) difference to how you play the game but does make cheating harder.
Also another reason why people who claim to see patterns in the cards are talking guff.
