After a recent discussion in PT3 forums I became interested in following question:
When does RNG determine cards for the board?
Is the board predetermined after the hole cards are dealt or RNG keeps "spinning" (so to say) and choses each card of the flop, river and turn separately?
In other words if I fold A :spade:T
pre-flop and flop comes Q :spade:8 :spade:2
does that mean that I would have had flopped a flush if I had stayed in the hand? Or RNG is still spinning while we make our decisions pre-flop and if I had stayed in hand flop would be different?
I was hoping that it is predetermined, which would mean that it is "fairer" and closer to reality (dealer doesnt shuffle the cards during the live game, does he?), but moderator on PokerTracker forums said otherwise, which really dissapointed me.
So how does it works? Any experts out there who actually know? There must be some regulations for this anyways.
