In a perfect world we would always play our favorite online poker games on cards that have been shuffled until they are truly random. We do not live in a perfect world, however, so many of the cards we are dealt come out of less than perfect online poker decks. Unfortunately the reason that we are often dealt sloppy hands is time. It takes time to accurately shuffle a deck of poker cards enough so that it is mathematically random. Most people just do not have the time. Let’s look at the two different types of games to see what I mean. When you play a casual home game, the last thing that you want to do is stare at your friend as they shuffle the deck seven times. It cuts into the fun of actually playing. Most people end up compromising with home games and shuffling less. They are then dealing imperfect cards to their friends. The casinos face a similar situation. For the casino, time is money. The faster that they can get the cards in the table, the more money that they make. Many casinos have switched over to electric shufflers for just this reason. If you find a classic casino that shuffles by hand, make sure that they are not rushing through the process. Your wallet will thank you.
