online poker is a sick game of Press Your Luck. The cards are continually shuffled until someone in India presses a big red plunger and you either hit a Whammy! or $5000+ free spin.

From what Ive heard the reason they burn cards in live play is to make it harder to stack the deck, so there is no reason to do so online.

You got leveled pretty bad and don't even have the right explanation. The reason people burn live is to mitigate against marked cards (you can't see what card is coming next).

Also, the poster above who suggested they don't burn on FTP is wrong. The dealer is working 'behind the scenes.' She still burns a card, even though you can't see it. (Yes, the dealer on FTP is female, although you can't see her).

There is no need, they use a new deck each time and due to virtual technology the cards are always undamaged.
