Down anyone know how America's Card Room shuffles the deck? Is it constantly shuffling until it deals out the next card, or are the flop, turn, and river pre-determined at the start of the hand like in live poker?

I'm pretty sure it's a constant shuffle.

Either way it's completely random. The only difference is situations where you fold and would of won you might not actually have won if you called. But that doesn't really matter and we shouldn't be thinking in that way anyways. Though it's hard not to. lol.

I know I shouldn't even think like that, and I would never let it affect my play either way. I'm just curious and I'm pretty sure there's nothing on the website about it.

Yup, I know I've had moments where the thought of "I would of won a huge pot if I would of called" or "I would of hit my set" enters my head from time to time lol.

PRNG's (random number generators) are not perfect, no matter how hard they may try. I try to maintain a healthy degree of skepticism. Not only are the random number generators themselves imperfect, but whenever there are human hands at play in the designing of the algorithm/program subroutines, bias and corruption are also a real possibility. To deny this is to deny human nature. (my 2 cents)

Nonetheless, I still enjoy online play, so don't get me wrong.

It should be constant shuffle, but I dont think anybody here knows that for sure. You should ask America's Card Room about that directly

Hi guys! The Winning Poker Network (which Americas Cardroom is part of) submitted extensive information about the Winning Poker Network’s random number generator (RNG) to the independent organization iTech Labs. We asked this trusted resource to perform an in-depth analysis of the randomness of the output of the Winning Poker Network RNG, and its implementation in the shuffling of the cards on Winning Poker Network. You can check our video:

I'll never fully trust computer poker but I sure love to play. I will say that ACR does try to really answer all questions with a positive note.
I would like to see a table some time of hand breakdown. I know they keep track of the millions of hands that are played.

Refreshing The Concept of Shuffling

America's Card Room shuffles are 100% legitimate thanks to iTech Labs. As an analytical skeptic myself, I always need data/evidence based on case studies; thus if anyone still believes that online gaming is rigged, please visit iTech Labs' website and everything that a doubtful player is thinking is backed up by their credible, scientific research.

This is good to hear, glad they do not rabbit the turn, or river like on Bovada and ignition. Like everyone else, I hate folding then seeing my card come I needed sad story.
