I'm very curious about the RNG, specifically on Party Poker.
I understand basically how the RNG works, but I'm wondering how my actions during a hand actually affect it.
Here is an example that I was wondering about.
I had Q8s in middle to late position and I was thinking about limping in, but decided to fold. Of course the flop comes QQ8 giving me the nuts and there was plenty of action on the flop. My question is whether my actions and the difference it time that either calling or folding would have taken would have changed the subsequent cards that came out on the board. So if I actually decided to limp with this hand thereby changing the time in which the round of betting took, could I very well have completely missed the flop. I figure this would be the case if the deck is always being shuffled and only decides which card is going to come out when it is time to peel it off.
Would this be the case?

This is exactly why you should never fold preflop. Holdem is a game of 7 cards, not 2.
