I'll add one comment to this discussion;  I'm coming in part-way, so it
may have been stated already:

   Be EXTREMELY cautious in your choice of random number generator
   and seed, particularly if 1) you will be dealing a large number
   of hands, 2) you must be certain that every possible hand can
   occur, and 3) every possible hand must be equiprobable.
