Default Shuffled hole cards in stud games on full tilt?

Just wondering if the hole cards are shuffled before showdown in the stud/razz games on fulltilt? Couldnt find where it says on their site.

They're arranged high to low.

Yes, it is a terrible flaw in their software. I'm sure this is part of the reason for the lack of stud8 games.

Stud players are more apt to complain about sites like Stars that don't shuffle at all.

I disagree. I think the volume of Stars and Party stud players compared to those at Paradise and FT that shuffle show that, even comparing on the scale of size. When Paradise was first anywhere to 10th you hardly ever say anything beside micro stud8 because of that. Also I have seen so many novice players accuse collusion in stud8 at shuffle rooms from thinking players were raising crap and rivered miracles. As far as internet goes I think its bad for the game because of how noobs think. If I am in the minority then I am, that's how I feel.

Actually it was because the .5/1 game had no antes, and thus attracted the nits and the occasional gambler. Nobody ever wanted to move up out of that game.

The reason Party and Stars were way ahead of FT is similar. Party had nice high-ante games that attracted the fish and the gamboooling types. Stars has small-ante games that attract the nits and the "tight is right" players who make up most of the Stud forum here. Full Tilt has always been somewhere in the middle, and neither group wanted to play there.

That's the nature of Stud/8, and what makes it a great game. It doesn't matter if you shuffle or not, the players who don't understand freerolls will always think that.

The reason I don't play stud at FT is because of the high antes. Has nothing to do with cards being shuffled.

How is arranging them hi to low a terrible flaw? As long as they aren't in the order dealt what does it matter?

The low bring in helps make up for that.

I guess I am in the minority on the card shuffle thing.
