In which case there is a potential added factor here....there *could* be code whereby a player winning a lot starts to get worse pockets, or other implications so that other players stay happy and keep playing.

While I have no evidence of this, it is indeed possible and if you were to deny the possibility, who would be the ignorant one ?
No, I would say it would be ignorant to assume that anybody would bother to code something that tracks thousands of users and adjusts starting cards for every person on the table simply because one has won more than the other. This is especially true since the casino makes money on everybody regardless of if they win or lose. The undertaking that would be involved is so enourmous it would be rediculous to even consider it.
