I have read an article on the phenomenom of "non-random shuffling". After playing a few computer sims, it does seem that when the dealer busts on a 10 card the next card is more likely to be a ten value than expected. Is there any large sims to verify the theory? If so then play at the 3rd base slot could effect the overall results, no?

Dear Stephen,

I have never seen computer simulations that verify what you state. If non-random shufling actually causes shifts in player expectations, then the casinos would go to great lengths to NOT randomly shuffle the cards. I've never been convinced that non-random shuffling has any effect on a player's expectation.
