Recently, I've heard people talk about 'running it twice' in poker games. What does this mean?

Mar 19, 2007 Yes, reducing variance by making that possible is the point of 'running it twice', and what happens is: they split the pot. Do they agree on running it twice usually before or after they eachothers cards? See full list on poker.fandom.com.
When players go all-in, typically for large pots in large cash games, you will often hear one player ask the other whether he/she wants to run it twice (or sometimes three or more times). If and only if the other player(s) agree and if the casino allows it, the dealer will deal the cards twice. If for example, this happened pre-flop, the dealer will deal two complete boards a flop, a turn, and the the river card using the same process he/she uses to deal one board (same number of burn cards) using the same deck without reshuffling. If it occurs post-flop but before the turn or river card then the dealer will deal two sets of turn and/or river cards respectively. The winner is then determined looking at the results of the boards if a player wins one board and loses the other then the pot is chopped in half.
Players do this to manage risk and many casinos allow it but usually only in 'time-rake' games. In a time-rake games, typically the bigger cash games, typically every half hour on a dealer change the dealers will collect X$ (5/6/7 or more) from every player. Running the board twice or more takes more time and that's why its typically not allowed in standard pot raked games (where the rake is taken out as a percentage of each pot).
Thanks for the info fish. I knew what it meant, however, I did not know about the preflop and post flop difference.
Know of any games in Vegas that allow this? I think it'd be cool to see it at some smaller games; maybe $2/$5nl.
@robustus yeah id like to see this in more games too
I've found that most $6/$10 NLHE 'time-raked' or higher stakes games in Vegas allow this - I play the Wynn 5/10 all the time and they allow running it up to three times
Message to the PokerAtlas guys - I know you guys are hard at work adding cash games soon - adding a 'run-it-twice' field to your cash game database detail would be really cool
@fish169 Good idea! Unrelated, but I think whether or not 'cash plays' at a given game should also be noted.
@DanMcArdle How about cell phones permitted at the table?
@GameChanger Indeed, that too! There's a bunch of detail on cash games that it'd be nice to see in one place...
Great ideas guys. Notes taken! Thanks for the suggestions.
In general, most (if not all) casinos in LV allow cash to play in the form of $100 bills only. Conversely, no casino that I know of in Louisiana allows cash to play. So there is definitely disparity from state to state.@BentonBlakeman Doesn't that depend on stakes? I don't recall seeing many benjies on $1/$2NL tables in Vegas, but I haven't played in too many recently...

A poker run is an organized event in which participants, usually using motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, horses, on foot or other means of transportation, must visit five to seven checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Having the best hand and winning is purely a matter of chance. The event has a time limit, however the individual participants are not timed.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the record for the largest event was set in 2009 with 2,136 motorcyclists benefiting the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation (FFSF).[1]
The record for the largest single venue event was set in 2012, with 586 motorcyclists raising money for Prostate Cancer research in Ottawa, Canada.[2]
Variations[edit]
Poker runs usually require a fee to enter and some for each additional hand; in some events a small part of the fee may go to funding the event, including the prizes, while the rest goes to the event's charity recipient or club treasury. In charity events usually most, if not all of the funds goes to the selected charity. Prizes, such as money, plaques, or merchandise donated by commercial sponsors of the event, are awarded for the best hand. Some runs will award smaller awards for lower hands or even the lowest hand.
Each checkpoint might offer food or entertainment, either covered by the entry fee or at additional cost. Each participant is responsible to maintain the integrity of their hand during the run. Hands are usually written down or marked with punched holes on a ticket, rather than assembled from actual cards given to the riders. The only requirement is that riders arrive at the final checkpoint by the time prizes are awarded, usually near the end of the day, typically at a party with food and refreshments. It might be required that participants collect all of the requisite number of cards, five or seven, or they might be allowed to miss checkpoints and use a hand with fewer cards, though the odds of a winning hand are much lower.
Transport[edit]
Although most events are on motorcycles, off-road vehicles, boats, or horses, events involving small aircraft, ATVs, bicycles, golf carts, snowmobiles,[3] skateboards,[4] running,[5] canoeing and kayaking,[6] and geocaching[7] have been held.
Dice run[edit]
A dice run is one variation, where instead of collecting cards, participants roll dice at each stop. The object is to have the highest score as determined by the sum of the dice rolls.
