Really getting frustrated finding myself in casino games that use auto shufflers where pattern wise seems to deal a pre determined winner. In my opinion the integrity of poker is at risk but overall when I find myself in these situations I definitely walk away. Has anyone else experienced this ? How do u avoid it ? Why is it ok for casinos to hurt the game in this fashion ?
Josh, what do you mean by predetermined winner? Whenever any shuffling is completed the cards are dealt in a specific order such that if no action is taken one person will have the best hand or tied for the best hand. This happens regardless of a hand or auto shuffler.
Poker is not a pure skill game. There is chance that you can win with the worst hand at the table, or lose with the best hand if you fold.
Not true. I’ve done extensive research and know 100% cards can be dictated by these certain shufflers. I’ve sat many hours at these tables only to watch the same “regs” pull all the chips In certain seats. Laws are mandated differently per state on how the game can be played or altered. I literally sat next to a house reg for hours and watched him win 80% or better of his hands at showdown and with proper dealing makes this almost impossible and unheard of.
If you’re 100% sure then file a lawsuit because there would be some serious money in that. Good luck with that, though.
Not looking for anything but fair play. I could go on and on with lots of facts and situations but It totally misses the point. If I’m dumb enough to put myself in those situations then so be it, but it’s these types of things that are ruining the game that I love. I can assure you that I’m not the only one with the same insight from personal experiences.
OffTheFelt Moderator, is there a section on this awesome forum site for conspiracy theories? If not, give administrative rights to Anonymous here so he or she can start it.
I’m VERY certain you’re “not the only one” that believes auto shufflers are conspiring against you. If flat-earthers can be a thing and now big enough to be widely known, surely people with subpar critical thinking skills can believe this auto shufflers hypothesis.
Sometimes, we just gotta be honest with ourselves. Maybe some of us are just not good at poker. Maybe the people who are winning seemingly consistently are just better players.
