We might think getting lop sided tables is not random but it is the opposite
Always getting uniform tables is not random
People want their music to be uniformly shuffled so Spotify deliberately do not make it random. They mess with it. Imagine what peeps would say if a poker site deliberately messed with the table selection to avoid lop sidedness!

Im trying to work out how many different ways there are of arranging 9 items in groups of 5 and 4.
1) where the exact seating doesnt matter. Because its total table stack sizes thats being looked at.
And
2) exact seating matters .To deal with, why does the big stack / lose player always seem to sit on my left brigade.
And as GELDY states, if the tables were organised so they are uniform as to stack sizes, that would be the exact opposite of random.
Poker often seems unfair, in so many ways. And it is. But it's a double edged sword, as it is unfair in our favour just as often as it is unfair against us.
Drawn against a table of big stacks is not always a bad thing, either. (BH's may be an exception, but even that is debatable). Ask a winning player if he wants the table with the big stacks or the table with the small stacks, & I know what their answer will be - the big stacks. Every time.
The whole topic of how our minds work in these situations is utterly fascinating to me.
"pattern matching", as mentioned by mumsie, is so powerful, too. It's similar in a way to Group Think, in which peer pressure encourages us all to think along the same lines on certain topics.
If anyone would like to see an example of Group Think, go back though this Forum to when Sky Poker change things, or introduce some Promos. The Alpha Male says it is bad, & so we all follow. He must be right, right?
