A 'run it twice' button?!! thoughts...

I have played on a couple of sites that off you a run it twice button, if both players are all in like you see on the HSP series. Thought it was really good and reduced the variance a little.

Anyone think that it would be a good idea on sky ?

    it's ok.

    not important at all though, and probably doesn't even make the top 100 priorities

    Not a massive fan as it only slows the games down.

    I'm not entirely sure what actually happens when a hand gets "run twice" but from what i saw on a tv poker game the other day it only benifited the guy that was behind at the time giving him an extra chance to survive

    Basically if you win both you win all of the pot. Win one each you share the pot.

    i assume both players have to agree? i dont think i like it If i've got the best hand i only want to defend it once, if i lose i lose thats poker, i suppose if its good if im chasing a flush or a straight though

    I don't see the point.......it was only invented because the degens on telly think they are big playing for a 500k pot then after losing a few decided run it twice........why would you want to run it twice when a big favourite in a massive pot?

    Just keeps the variance down. A lot of times you're happy taking the extra money in the pot even if you chop a pot you 'should' have won, etc.

    Personally (without my Sky work top on), I don't think it would be a great idea. Slows the game down too much and would only really apply to pots of value over £X. Who decides how much X is? That amount could be tiny to some players and entire bankrolls to others. 

    Just my view, anyway :)

    You run it twice/three times w/e because no one is a big fav - normally in flipping situations -
    No one really wants to flip for large sums of money -

    no need for it at all

    sometimes they will run it three/four times if someone is a underdog and they want to even it up a little
    think there was a classic one with hellmouth v amatuer ,where hellmouht flopped trips or something and the amatuer held KK - think they run it four times to give the amatuer a better chance lols
