I remember this topic coming up before and after watching this guys explanation I'm still not understanding how this can work. If their site grows in size comparable to PS or FT, how can they handle that volume? They are going to be shuffling live for each table and not just storing months of shuffles in a database? I think the guy must love shuffling. At first I thought he had a nervous twitch, but throughout the video he was shuffling a deck.

+1 for the bold. Lol at "loving the shuffle". Think he's nervous because he cannot explain how they are going to make this work for more than one table. He was a little condescending at the beginning when he replied to Oz's question, and his response was "This person is assuming that they know how a system works", and then goes around the question by explaining that there are a finite number of combinations of hands in one deck of cards. It's similar to asking him, what is your favorite color red or blue and he answers plaid because it contains both...huh? Don't believe Oz was assuming anything, he was asking a valid question.

I guess I should explain why for those players not accustomed to "live" poker with the dealer actually playing at your table. When a live tourny is played in local events or home games... the deck ALWAYS has a spare card that is totally blank usually a brilliant colour - the "cut" card. When the dealer shuffles - he MUST always ask the player to his immediate right if the player would like to "cut" the deck" meaning the player places the spare card anywhere within the deck - then the dealer places the bottom half of the remaining cards to the top of the deck. The dealer then passes out the cards one at atime to all players in a clockwise rotation. Once everone has their 2 cards...the game begins. The dealer then(well in my case) usually always says..."burning and turning" - which indicates the dealer is removing the very top card and buries it under the "deck" of cards facing upwards - making it (nearly)impossible for the dealer to deal any cards from the bottom of the deck. Then proceeds to lay the flop cards face up for all to see...

Just a double insurance that the dealer isn't performing his magic dealing skills from dealing his well placed cards at the bottom for him/her to choose from at his/her whim.....at anytime during the hand.

So in essence...the "cutting of the cards" then the "burn" card...are two measures of trying to keep the dealer from fancy card shuffling and pulling essential cards from the bottom of the deck. (which if caught in a high stakes game could result in...well...hmmmmmm - u can imagine what would happen in back room, underground poker games)

Soooooooooooooooo...........lmao - this really is not applicable to computer generator shufflers

Still LMAO here.

They explain this in a lot of their videos, check out the youtube.

lol love how they're avoiding questions.
"cardschat users are stupid, I'll explain to you how it's not done"

So basically they're using a machine to do mechanically what can be perfectly done by a computer much more efficiently, players are gonna love the rake on that site.

In a way, I'm impressed that they took time to answer some questions that we had in this video. But at the same time, the main guy that was speaking just seemed really smug in the way that he responded to some questions.

"That's really funny, you know, these are people assuming that they know anything about how a system can work."

"Most people are only capable of linear thinking".
Judgmental statements like this are a huge turn off, and it makes me not want to give them my business. This just seems like a way to hook fish who believe they are losing players because online is rigged.

"Adding a cut and replicating what a dealer at a table does, and putting the players in control of the game, seems like a good alternative to not doing anything."
This actually doesn't change anything, it just changes a person's perception of what is "fair". Just a scam to get players onto the site, kinda like the "as seen on TV" products. They look and sound cool, but the actual product isn't anything special.

Those aren't all a scam, I got this cool thing where you can grow your own strawberries inside your house. :D

I would guess that they're out of business in MUCH less time than it took them to launch.

This, once people realize the same crap happens on their site as it does at the most popular sites, the novelty will wear off fast.

And fwiw IcyBlueAce, I don't think you're a plug for Real Deal, :p

LOL - what an explosion of dumb...

The question was a simple one: will they, or will they not, use one of these machines to shuffle a physical deck of cards every time someone wants to play a hand on their site? The impression I get from their marketing is that they will. But they didn't actually answer the question - instead we just get allusions to the mysterious "third way". Maybe midichlorians are involved somehow?

Note that they completely ignored the questions about rake and how their system discourages bots.

And the answers on the cutting issue were just hilarious. The decks of cards these guys are using are sealed inside machines thousands of miles away from all the players. So where, exactly, is the opportunity for anyone to manipulate the physical deck? If there isn't one then I don't see that the player-cut option serves any purpose.

If they were replicating what a real dealer does, their machine would cut the deck before dealing with no input from the players whatsoever. If it did that I'd still think the process was silly (just as I think their use of burn cards is silly and unnecessary) but I could write it off as just being their "thing".

But they're having players request the cut and I didn't find their response the least bit satisfying: either your shuffle (which none of the players at the table have had any influence over) is sound or it isn't. If it's sound, there's no reason for a player to cut. If it's not sound, you've got bigger problems. Or option three, it's a marketing gimmick designed to attract stupid rigtards. So - which is it? :p
