Hi guys,
I have a serious question about the process of randomization in card shuffling in online poker.
Is there any solution for it to make it 100% transparent and verifiable and simple at the same time as well? Please share any innovative idea if you have any.

It is possible but I just don't like that idea. I want to hide my hand and show it when I want to as a part of strategy, with provably fair everyone could easily check if someone bluffed or not and use that info.
Besides, provably fair system in texas holdem is meaningless, you will never know is it "real provably fair system" or is it "rigged provably fair system", for example you get KK, your opponent gets AA and flop shows KKA - one person will go all in other will call, one will lose and house will earn big rake. You will never prove was it rigged or not, even thought it was provably fair.

These are some of the same concerns they had back in the day when poker began to become popular on television which lead to the big poker boom. A lot of players were concerned with the card cams installed on the tables; however, the advantages of the system outweighed the potential liabilities and the players adjusted their game ---> sometimes advertising a bluff is a good thing. And, if a poker client were built upon a DECENTRALIZED blockchain then there is no "house" to rig the game, right?
