Default Re: Shuffling at sites

a) to state the obvious, the "continuous shuffler" doesn't need to be shuffling the cards all the time, just reshuffle them before putting the next card out. Therefore it's more of a JIT (just-in time) shuffler than a continuous one and thus doesn't impact performance.

b) [ QUOTE ]
Continuous shuffling discourages results oriented thinking ... shuffling at the start of the hand is obviously closer to how it would be in a casino.

I'd rather like JIT shuffling as it helps me be less results oriented. The fish all yap about "I folded J8 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]" when flop comes JJ8 and I don't want to be like that even in thoughts.

c) [ QUOTE ]
I always believed the continuous random shuffle was not the best method for maintaining integrity in the games.

It is possible that the next card COULD be rigged to create either more action or fix the outcome of a hand utilizing a continuous "random" shuffler.
