a lot of things are "pratically random", very few things are actually mathematically fully random

Human generated lists tend to have pairs (and longer strings) underrepresented while machine generated lists tend to have pairs overrepresented. Video poker can be looked at like a form of roulette, you have 10 slots, the first five dealt cards and five potential draw cards. You would look for pairs by looking for a match between the previous card in a slot and the next hand's card in that slot, the average cycle should be 52 with an sd of 7.2 . Any anomalies would of course likely effect optimum draw strategy and bet sizing.
