Are you saying that:

1. Your gut feeling is illogical and has no possible way of telling if the shuffle is random

2. Your gut feeling is more accurate than a statistical analysis of 250k hands

I'm saying I don't know and you probably don't either.

I just explained why I do know. I do not doubt that there are limits to what we can tell about a site's shuffle from 250k hands. We can probably say "you are dealt xyz hand within +/- 5% of expectation". I can say, with 100% certainty, that your gut is not more accurate than that. You are arguing that you can "tell" something is wrong with the shuffle that statistical analysis cannot tell you - well, that's what it boils down to.
