Clocking the deck: NLHE

[PAUL-IN]

Here's a hand i played at a live tourney at the taj.

blinds were 50-100, i had a stack around 5500. one player had me covered. I was in BB with AQ offsuit, two limpers, and the SB call. I didn't want to rush the hand, so i checked.(comments are welcome.)

the flop came rags, SB and I check, and the chips start whizzing....i fold. next hand.

in the SB, i get AQ again. Again, two limpers. now that there were no A's or Q's on the flop for the past two boards, I figured that and A or Q was "due". I know that every board is entirely random, and this thinking is similar to betting red on roulette when the last three numbers fell black. any merit to this at all, howver?

so i raise, flop falls a Q high, and I take it down uncontested.

comments?
