I am not a poker guru, to put it mildly, and I do not have much experience in different games and especially on different platforms, and perhaps my assessment of the game on this platform will be too subjective, but, in my opinion, as far as hands and their expected probability are concerned, it is more like a casino than poker. When, say, your "AK" beats "A4" with a four (4) on the "river" in more than half of the cases, it is very difficult to play in terms of game management and game strategy. In my opinion, it is just a game of luck, not skill, etc. Although I won a tournament once and got into the "prizes" several more times, having played about 20 tournaments (not freerolls) in total. It would be interesting to know how the random number generator works there.

Again, asking about the privacy - so the seeds of the players are not shown from the get-go because everybody would analyze what they do in that case, or why? (regarding the consensus they need to give in order to check how it's truly random).
