Default full tilt random or maybe not??

Interesting transcript from Howard Lederer in a razz S&G with him tonight
regarding the RNG and card shuffling at Full Tilt. Figured some people
would be interested in reading...

Caitlin215 (Observer): i understand that FTP uses
action cards placed at random intervals to speed
up play is that true in ring games as well as
tourneys or are they just used in tourneys
Howard Lederer: our deal si totally random
Howard Lederer: action flops would be hard to
program
Caitlin215 (Observer): well i had the opportunity to
meet chris recently and i was talking to him about
ftp someone over heard and asked him if ftp used
action cards and he said yes placed at totally
random intervals but i wasnt sure if he was just
talking about toruuneys
esfd283: how would that be possible
Howard Lederer: you misheard
Shangri La (Observer): what are action cards?
Howard Lederer: he wwas either joking
Caitlin215 (Observer): i guess i did then
Howard Lederer: or you misheard
Howard Lederer: the notion of action cards is
funny to us
Shangri La (Observer): to ftp?
Howard Lederer: because we know how hard it
would be to pull off
Dakon (Observer): strange thing to joke about
Howard Lederer: and the risk of discovery would
be huge
Howard Lederer: our deal is rnadom on three levels
Howard Lederer: first we used an audited rng
Howard Lederer: but we also use a deck queue
Howard Lederer: basically each deck on the site is
put in a queue after it is used
Howard Lederer: then when we need a deck we
pick one at random
Howard Lederer: then we run it through the rng
Howard Lederer: then after each round has been
dealt
Howard Lederer: the remaining cards are shuffled
during the action
Caitlin215 (Observer): wait the deck that s in play

I don't even no why I'm placating to a random "TEH INTARNETZ POKER IS RIGGEDDDDDD!" thread...

But to create "action cards," and be able to keep an even distribution of cards would be impossible. We all have PT (you probably don't, because you're retarded) and we can easily verify the integrity of the RNG.

If you posted a thread that said "AFTER 10 MILLION FARMED HANDS, THE DISTRIBUTION IS OFF BY X%!!!" and provided proof, it would raise eyebrows. But that's not the case because it isn't true.
