Thanks for your comments, RTrout. By the way, am I following you on Twitter? I know there is some guy named Trout on there. I could go into the mathematical theories whether or not anything can truly be random, but I won't. :-) I have seen so bad shufflers though.

Thats given me an all new perspective on this live vs online debate.

I used to think that the online sites pushed bad beats but have come to realize they happen everywhere. Just watch World Poker Tour on television and you'll see amazing bad beats taking people out right and left at the final table. Even a 4% equity is going to hit one in every 25 tries. And you're usually no worse than a 3-1 dog in most situations... so yes, bad beats are going to happen. Learn to enjoy when they fall on your side, and follow grundy's example of taking them in stride when they roll against you. Once you figure that luck is going to treat you and others about equally in the long run, you realize your skill is eventually going to make the difference. Not in the one game you're playing at the moment, but in your career - long term. Rtrout Great attitude Grundy… take your beats like a man!
