It only takes a few hundred hands to determine a players tendencies. Using this information it's possible to manipulate the game to achieve a more favourable outcome on avg. Also, rigging something like AA vs. KK is too obvious. Making it so that strong players (who start off with a equity edge against the fish and play more top pair hands) lose just a little bit more so that the fish are happy to play and the strong players still barely break even instead of completely own the game is a more likely scenario. All you have to do is use the information from a few hundred hands and place players into standard player tendency categories. Then you give the fish a hand that will draw good and beat the strong player a little more often than it would, shifting a bit of the strong players profits to the weak players, making the weak lose a bit less but happy to play and the strong players barely profitable but still playing. I've played just over 50k hands of FL .25/.50 at different sites, 12k at ultimate bet. My won money at showdown at UB has been stuck at 49.5% after the first couple days I 've played there and it doesn't seem to be changing. Compare this to 54-57% for all other sites. UB is just unusual and I'm staying away. I recommend others stay away as well. I think you are making it sound more difficult than it actually may be.

Think they now very well who is a losing player and who is a winning player. How difficult could it be to deal a second from time to time when the card that is supposed to come of doesn't help the losing player?
