What happens on some sites is that they only have about 20,000 variations of shuffling. Once you have played enough hands you will see the same hole cards and flops coming round again. Depending on the number of players you can work out who has what or what the flop, turn etc will be.
Can this be proven?? I thought the decks used a random complex logarithm
I Have heard somewhere that some online sites are reshuffling the deck during hands is this correct ?
I'd also be interested in seeing some documentation supporting this. Random number generators are exactly complicated.

Sorry, I was just being a dick and made that up when I was bored. I would have deleted it if I could.

I really don't care which way a site uses to shuffle, so long as it the next card to appear is in no way able to be known. I mean, whether or not the computer shuffles them before or during doesn't change the fact that you're betting on unknown cards.
The computer could shuffle the cards 1000 times each hand and even continue shuffling as I'm betting and it wouldn't change the way I would bet my hand. All I can do is bet based upon what I am holding, what has happened in the game, and the implied odds of what could possibly be laid down. While random number generators aren't necessarily a complex concept, I think we've come far enough in their design that it doesn't necessarily matter how it works so long as it is seemingly random to the best of our technological abilities.

Yea I don't think that's true and if it ever was it would have been like 10 years ago on an extremely minor site or something.
I asked one of the sites technical support once for an explenation of their random deal process and got an incredibly technical response. Bottom line was that their process' randomness depended ultimately on entropy in the universe and they would take a sample of the background radiation (an inherently physical random decay), and use that to create a true random deal.
I wish I remembered the site, but you can ask the techies at any of them and they'll let you know what they do.
I don't really try to understand the RNG too much,but some people at the table say that the rabbit changes the outcome of hand.I see them say, well if you did not rabbit, then the hand would have probably ended different.I think this is sort of ridiculous though.
