Shuffling Cards

[Johnasplay]

I am old school
Always face to face insted of online and always human vs machine

 

[TishTash]

I prefer a human dealer.
First of all, When we play here in Israel, The dealer is responsible for arranging the game.
Beyond that, When everyone trusts the dealer, There is objective thinking at the table.
There is no element of loss in time as everything ticks like clockwork.

Live it doesn't matter if it is done by the dealer or a machine.

It would be a good option, although that is a system, and I do not question, that there is truthfulness, and trust, and a lot of seriousness ...

 

[Gusborgs22]

In casino live cash games i prefer the machines. There is a lot of cases of dealers cheating. I dont think that a casino would put a rigged machine to shuffle, too risky and too expensive (lot of tech)
In MTTs it doesnt matter, specially the big ones.

I feel more comfortable playing online, but I know that the distribution of cards made by the software is much more susceptible to fraud than done by the human dealer.

They could mess with the RNG of the cards, but probably not, someone would have evidence by now if a site was doing this most likely.

knowledge is power, and luck comes and goes.

Of course a dealer! There can be no trust machine, because all machines are rebuilt in the desired mode.

Then i guess you dont even play online poker if you have so little trust to evil machines.

I don't know how to answer you, lately I've only played online, but I think that the deck being shuffled live gives you more security, although the machine on Onine has not left anything to be desired.

Hello. I play online poker. But I have never really won yet. And in live poker, they win very often.

 

[Dangames8282]

I disagree because online is very safe with random, live is more fun to play.

 

[TaigaMaster]

manually prefer to interfere with the cards ...

 

[INISHTE]

I like it like that, just the way it is.

Some other poker games use the dealer, but I like how PokerStars is.

 

[ntf1125]

I prefer machine mixing.
Because, it doesn´t take time to mix cards.

As I recall, having played live quite a long time ago now, at least over 15 years ago, dealers would place the cards face down on the felt and move the cards around kind of shuffling them while the cards were face down, and then place them into an automatic shuffle machine so that you were getting both human and machine shuffles combined.

I'm comfortable with mechanical shufflers. Takes a lot of pressure off the dealers and I find they are then more engaged in the dealing and bet counting, etc. Makes for a more enjoyable live experience at the tables.

 

[LadderingUp]

After I saw the machine put the deck back into order for a new dealer, I dont like the machines. If Im playing live the hand shuffle doesnt bother me. casinos should drop the greed factor of # of hands per hour and just keep it as organic as possible IMO.

hello

I don't care about a machine or a person ...
