I suspect that the hands you're used to - the ones you call normal - are not normal at all. Poor shuffling will not produce randomness - too many hands at a club will be bland 4-3-3-3 types or similar - club-play in my experience has very few "wild" hands because the cards are not properly randomized. Computer-dealt hands are more likely to have distributions that "test" us - BBO has computer-dealt hands - it's good to be tested - blandness is for beginners. We do not "win" at bridge by having more honor cards than our opponents - we win by superior bidding - superior play and by making fewer mistakes. Hands with all distributions will be played by other pairs. We're challenged to play good bridge with any hand. And how can BBO possibly gain by messing with the deals?
