LOL - Did you miss the subject of this thread? Or this line:
I know you're a smart guy, so don't pretend to not understand how this whole "continuous shuffle" works. Had he played this hand. the board cards would have been different, so nothing would have stung. I know you understand this. |

You know, I'm wondering what your beliefs in free will depend on.
There's a great book on the idea that we, as humans, don't have free will. This is because when we look back at the choices that we may have had...we can't prove that they were really plausible. Sure, we could say that we had the ability to choose the other option, but was it really there? This idea continues to say that free will is purely a chemical induced idea within our brains that makes us happier as humans. Our brain fools us into thinking we had free will by creating other possible choices different from our intended path. What's to say if he had played the hand, the flop would've been different? It could've been the same. It also could've been 44x or AAx or 555 or any number of a million different flops. Then again, what does it matter if the flop would've been different or not?

Umm... I think you are missing the point here. Since apparently you are Im going to spell this out.
- Read the title of this thread. "DAMN GLAD I FOLDED THIS ONE" It is titled this because of the fact that this specific flop hit, and would have caused him to flop 4's full of queens, and lose to queens full of fours (eventually four of a kind) - TP is saying that he shouldn't think this way, because had he called the flop would have been different (random shuffle), so the comment "Damn Glad I folded This One" isnt applicable. And that is why it matters if the flop would have been different Very nice/interesting other part of your post though. I've often had some similiar (drunken) discussions about that very topic

I understand what is being said. I understand that is a somewhat false way of looking at it. But, what's to say the flop would've been different? It could've been the same if he played the hand too. It also could've been 44x.
It's silly to bring up the idea of a continuous shuffle causing a different flop without knowing what the other flop would've been. Because you can't prove it would've been a different flop. You can talk of the odds of a random shuffle of a deck causing a different flop that the one previous...but that's not stone cold proof. Like I said, it's silly to what if yourself to death. (which means it's silly from both sides of looking at this flop)
