I used to work for Party poker, in the admin & accounts section.The flops that are dealt out at parts are designed to create action, its as pure and simple as that.The flops are 'random', but they are 'randomly GOOD'.As far as i was aware employees could not see users cards, however, their were LOTS of instances where players (hackers) could exploit the software, and were able to tell what cards other players were holding.This was happening all the time, and none of the staff (including programming) could do anything about it, because they simply did'nt know how hackers were manipulating the software. If you do choose to play at Party poker be aware that this site is RIFE with hackers.
