Statistical Analysis of the cards dealt.

This is a general question for Ryan:

Have you done any statistical analysis of the cards dealt to see if they are truly random or if patterns, indicating a fault in the random number genrator, have emerged?

Do the the hands won percentages correlate to the accepted starting pocket card percentages?

The reason I ask is that I will regularly get the same cards dealt to me, except different suits applied, for two ro three hands in a row, and the flop cards appear to run in "clumps" of a certain grouping appearing for several consecutive hands.

And from chatting with other players, it often appears that the same pocket cards will "march" around the table in consecutive hands a few times each day (in my experience).

I'm not making any accusations that the deck is stacked, so to speak, but just wondering if maybe I play too much and am starting to "see" patterns, or if the random number generator does need to be adjusted.

I'm confident with the deck shuffling. It's human nature to recognize patterns and with 2 cards and only 13 ranks its fairly common to get duplicates... a deck is actually pretty small when you think about it.
