Hey man, great vids. I would be interested if you could tell me something about a poker shuffle I am experiencing. The dealer is placing the 9 cards (2 hole cards each player) and the 5 community cards (Texas holdem) These 9 cards are always collected in the same order, placed on TOP of the deck. I then observe 4 riffles, when they cut they place the top packet of the deck on the bottom and stack 4 times onto it. (Reversing the packets basically) They then shuffle 3 times (riffles) , and cut roughly in the center onto the cut card. Is this good enough to create a random shuffle? The 9 cards packet placing is what has me wondering. Could you test this method out for authentication as a random shuffle? They never wash the deck either. I would be very interested into your insights as an expert in the possible flaws in this method of shuffling in terms of providing a fair shuffle to me
8 riffle shuffles is the standard to randomize a deck … washes should be done when opening the pack & intermittently throughout the game Hope this helps

I've been practicing cutting my decks, but all my knives are getting really dull....
sounds like you need to sharpen your card-sharp skills!
