the truth form an Electrical Enginner

The truth is that no program can deciper what cards are held by another player because that information is never sent to competing players. The encrypted code for the players hand is the only information available to the players computer. The only time any other players information is sent is on a as needed basis as when the hands are played out and now you see what the competing player had. It is not possible to know a priori (before it is sent) what other players cards are because the computer you are playing on does not know only the server knows. The engineers that developed the secure system did not include the information of the other players cards in the packet stream of the other players for that exact reason, that it would have compromised security.
