Re: Was I cheated?
If you look at the actual hands dealt:
Player 1: A5c
Player 2: 26c
Player 3: 39c
Player 4: 48c
Burn card: ?
Flop: TJQc
Burn card: Kc
The the deck held the following card in order:
A2345698?TJQK of clubs.
It looks like the deck may have been brand new and was either:
1. Not shuffled at all and some cards got misplaced accidentally (since the sequence is almost perfect)
2. Was shuffled very poorly
3. Was fake shuffled unsuccessfully - A fake shuffle is a sequence that looks like a shuffle but leaves the deck unchanged.
I think the most likely scenario is #1 for a few reasons:
1. #2 is very unlikely. Even a very weak shuffle will leave the deck with the suits at least broken up a bit.
2. #3 would be used for cheating but given the way the cards were dealt (even if the fake shuffle were perfect and the deck remained unchanged) doesn't look it was designed to create a very large pot and even if it did, is very suspicious. If you were cheating, you would probably set up some better cards sequence to induce and trap an opponent.
I vote for "Deck wasn't Shuffled" accidentally.
