Well, under the theory an unseen card is an unseen card, I was thinking maybe it wouldn't matter when the shuffle actually occurs since I'd always reset back to 0 after every, say, 208 cards of the 312 they are dealing and that it would all average out. Like I'd be using a different 6 decks than he was. So say I enter as it happens with 1 of 6 decks gone after a shuffle. To me the count would be neutral now since I haven't seen any cards. He deals 3 decks and actually reshuffles since he has now dealt 4 of 6. I've seen 3 out of 6 decks at that point. He deals 1 more deck after his actual shuffle. Now I've seen 4 decks and begin at RC 0 again. Like we're both "reshuffling" every 208th card - it's that his 208 cards before re-shuffling are different than mine.
Just thinking out loud I guess since I'm not sure I'm thinking at all lol.
Toaster - u miss my point. Assume this machine will always re-shuffle at 2/3.
