Seals has to make cuts because the site is not growing. And to be honest, its not going to grow. Why? The software. The software they are using is for PLAY money. It was not meant to be used for REAL money and or Bitcoin. I mean the software cost what, $600? You don't get much for $600 and it shows. The RNG is a total joke. What are the odds of seeing constant quads, straights, flush and trips? Well on Seals its every game. On multiple occasions I have see quads 3-4 times at a table within minutes. Random? I think not. Now if they would ditch this software for better software they would have a better site and bring in more traffic I think.

A bad RNG does not produce more big hands. A bad RNG is a security risk and is vulnerable to exploit. Here are some articles describing how Planet Poker's RNG was exploited in 1999:

It is not "expensive" to program a correct shuffle algorithm. It only requires a little research. Clearly the Poker Maven's authors have done this. Here is an explanation of their shuffle algorithm:

I appreciate your input, and frankly it represents my feelings, but you do realize that you are essentially arguing with rigtards.
