Hello, I am just wondering is there a poker room witch starts a new hand generator on each table?

I'm not sure why any site would want to do that. Any explanation?

I am not sure why he is asking, but from the research I did years ago here might be a reason.

It is very hard to make a truly random random number generator. They almost always contain bias and a predictable level of results (even be it over a large sample). As a result, some RNG's can be "replicated" and then everything could be predicted. I have a feeling this is why some sites have a deck that continues to shuffle after the persons hole cards are delt and continues to shuffle until the river is delt. This continual shuffling action would make it nearly impossible to predict the cards since there are multiple "time" variables involved.

You can read about UB's RNG on their site...and they talk a little about some of the problems of older RNG's. Anyways, I think this may be why he is asking. But who knows, I have learned to stop predicting people. (playing online poker will do that to you!)

There is never a wrong mistake as long as you learn the first time! {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

I am asking because for example I start tournament at some table and I got 2 times in a raw Aces. I explain this with the fact that the first hand number and the second are not consecutively (there is one RNG for all the tables in the room). If on every table is starting new RNG the chance of getting Aces 2 times in a raw is very, very low.
I am not mentioning the fact I lose and both times, but this is another subject.

I've had aces 4 times in a row already, it's called probability...

I need a girlfriend who loves me for my money... and is pretty bad with math.

Billions of hands dealt so It has to happens, the opposite would be not normal though. This is what Math tells us anyway.

Same type of strange stuff ( but live this time ), 5 first hands of the tournament to win the pot were a pair of J ( using the board or not )...
