Do they keep track of the hands that are dealt to which seat?

Only if you tell them where the button is before the deal.

I look forward to the ginormous upcoming "live poker is rigged" thread

well, depending on the casino, tables do have sensors that knows where the chips are places and how much chips are on the table, and also button could have a sensor to which tells the poisiton of the cards. can you explain more?

I don't believe that is rigged, however, if they have the option to do it and if nobody was about to figure it out why not? and I was reading a thread that they do not sel shuffle master products to public?

In some casinos blackjack rules are terrible and they do not show the deck to anyone! and they replace the shoe without its being finished the excuse "we change decks every 2 hours" well the floor usually wants to change the deck whenever someone is winning. And I saw this happening alot!

only as long as the dealer doesn't cut the cards

well they never cut the cards. and I just saw this,
two players flop the nut flush lol

The Rio's cash games during the WSOP are hand shuffled, I think.

so you would say sometimes not all they can manipulate the cards?

If you want to believe it is manipulated and rigged then just believe it.

He was simply pointing out that your belief that the machines may be rigged due to that error hand when in fact no machines were likely used demonstrates a flaw in your general reasoning process. Amusing (though not surprising) that you interpreted that as a suggestion by him that perhaps only some of the hands are manipulated.

If you have the general paranoia thing going then nothing will change that so you may as well embrace the belief that spooky stuff is happening however you like. Post your concerns about live play rigging/manipulation in this thread as it will be a fun addition.
