Random Shuffles

I noticed something suspicious about the randon shuffles on Full Tilt tonight while playing in a freeroll. About 2 seconds before each had was dealt, I was able to highlight my player and see my hole cards for the next hand.

If each shuffle is meant to provide random deals, why was I able to see each of my hands prior to them being dealt?

Because the random shuffle is instantanious. The dealing is just animation for drama sake. Try turning off your animation. As for beeing able to see your cards before the animation is complete, that is an interesting glitch but i wouldn't worry too much about it.
