It depends on how the pseudo RNG works - remember that NONE of them are true RNGs. Some are by cumulative mouse movements, and others are thermal monitors of the servers. If it's the mouse movements, then he's 'kinda' correct in 'had he not folded, it would've been different' Though it depends on WHEN the mouse movements are calculated - whether it's during the hand, or the deck is set before the hand.

There was a link I had on the other forum that explained it...Most sites have RNG's that you can consider to be what some people call a "continuious shuffle" which essentially the RNG is constnatly running through the remaning "cards" in the deck. The next "card" isn't determined untill it's called for so basically he's right. It's not like a live deck where the deck is shuffled and in a set order after the deal starts.

I do believe one site uses what we would consider to be like a live deck and that's Party, the RNG "shuffles" the cards and from there the "deck" is set just like a live game. But on the majority of the sites out there what happens on the flop, turn, and river isn't predetermined like a live shuffled deck.

If anyone is really interested in the article that explains it I can try to dig it up.

Actually I have always considered that the flop could very well be different depending on amount of players, or rather, amount of time. I assume the RNG is working in real time so if you were to wait a second to call it should make a difference. Of course it would still be impossible to predict the outcome so the difference would be meaningless in anything but a philosophical sense.

And coming from a philosopher...anything philosophical is meaningless...haha - self deprecation is priceless.
