I believe I'm really unlucky but, on the off chance there is something to it, how many others between you had a solo play experience with a lot of sponsorships cards coming out one after another?

Normally I would blame myself for a really bad shuffle of the deck, but in this case I cant and in the last few games I saw this happening quite a few times.

Has anyone else being as (un)lucky as me? I experience this happening at least 3 times.

The thing about random distribution is that things clump more than you realise. If you ask a room full of people to randomly distribute themselves in a room, they'll spread out fairly evenly even though truly random distribution would have clumps form. If you extrapolate this, if we see clumping, we feel it's not random when it's a perfectly normal occurrence.

You should rather congratulate yourself for being a good shuffler

I normally distribute the cards and then shuffle the deck so they tend not to clump as much during the game.
Yes I agree that random yields worse results than a "controlled" shuffle.
