love2eattacos described exactly what I did but in an easier to understand format. It seems that smooth99 is confusing the random numbers with the numbers assigned to the shuffled deck. The random number is only used to select which card is selected to be first, second , third, etc. in the shuffled order. Once a card is selected as first, no other card can be first. The next random number selects the second card. This continues until the entire deck is shuffled.
So to clarify the randomness or not, would you be seeing the same cards appearing in the same order coming out on the flop, turn, river, regardless of who may have folded or how long between seeing them?
In other words is the deck set and remains set for the entire game or does the randomness cause it to change with each card that is being delt?
So you fold your 7 2 off and 3 7’s come up on the flop for quads. Did you really fold quads or it just did not matter?

The deck is shuffled before any cards are dealt. Dealer then deals the deck as normal, one card at a time, off the top of the deck. The individual card position within the deck does not change throughout the hand being played. Any action taken by the players has no effect on the deck and does not influence the flop, turn or river.
