You know, everyone has complained for years about the distributions found in computer dealt hands. Most people ask the question 'are they right'. However, why not ask the question 'why does everyone think they are wrong'? A paper by the Canadian Journal of Statistics titled 'On the Distribution of Hand Patterns in Bridge: Man-Dealt versus Computer-Dealt' does just that - and explains WHY we all think the computer hands are wrong when they are not. The paper can be found in the JSTOR archives (www.jstor.org). Well worth reading.
