I usually break them up and shuffle the broken sections up randomly. Don't just go for the whole thing at once
Of for sure, I do break it into smaller sections. But must methods leave the deck not as random as I would like. Even if I split and shuffle
What makes you think the deck is not random enough?
When you draw a five cards and three were in the same sequence present in the last game. Or the same card that's grouped together because of game mechanics.
In that case I'd say pile shuffle before regular shuffle is the way to go
Yea, that's what I usually do. With breaking up the regular shuffle into smaller stacks when the deck is huge.
Sleeved cards is also good, because you can usually skip the pile shuffle and just do the mash shuffle
Could not have summarized this any better
