CVBJ for beginning counter

You can set the penetration to any percentage.
CVBJ and CVShuffle are not one program. You have to purchase them separately.
Yes there is a flash card mode. There is also a full table mode where you are shown the cards one table at a time. In both modes you can set how long the cards are shown and how much time you have to answer the question.
CVBJ is worth the money. The programmer updates his software periodically. Some other programs don't or haven't updated their program in a long, long time (for example one competing software program hasn't been updated since the 90's!!) CVBJ has so many options you can set them to simulate every game I have ever seen.

i figure it's about as random as you can get....
the nature of the shuffled pack can be set in the following ways according to cvbj help section:
"Deck Bias
Drills are very useful for practicing one aspect of BJ at a time. The game is good for practicing all aspects at once. The problem is that random play does not present you with difficult situations very often. Most of your time is wasted playing easy hands. The point of these options is to make better use of your practice time. The Bias options can be used to greatly increase the difficulty of play by forcing more difficult situations as follows:
No Bias - Cards are dealt randomly.
Positive Counts - When set, the dealer will deal more cards with positive counts early in the shoe. This forces a counter to count high counts and then to count positive numbers downward in the second half of the shoe.
Negative Counts - When set, the dealer will deal more cards with negative counts early in the shoe. This forces a counter to count large negative numbers and then to count negative numbers upward in the second half of the shoe.
Many Card Hands - When set, the dealer will deal more small cards forcing you to count both the hand value and card count at the same time. Many people find this difficult.
Repeat Errors - If this option is set, playing errors will be tracked and the dealer is more likely to deal hands that you have not handled correctly in the past.
Difficult Hands - When set, the dealer increases the number of hands with close decisions.
Randomize Bias - Set this option and the bias will be randomly switched to one of the five above. This will give you a real workout.
Bias Level - The farther to the right, the greater the bias level. That is, the more biased the dealing.
Switch Point - Used only for Positive and Negative Count biases, this is the percentage of the deck dealt where the bias ends. If you have set Positive Count bias and this is set to 50%, the positive bias will be active only for the first half of the shoe. After that, the remaining cards will be dealt without a bias - but they will be mostly negative."
