Recently, I've heard people talk about 'running it twice' in poker games. What does this mean?
When you “Run it Twice”, the remaining community cards are dealt twice over two separate boards. The logic behind running it twice is that the option reduces variance. Split Hold´em is basically “Run it Twice” from the pre-flop stage without the necessity of a player being all in. Each player is dealt two hole cards as in a normal hand. What it does is that once all players are all in AND all players have it activated, the remaining streets will be dealt twice and the pot will be split 50% for the winner of each run.
Comments
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...

PokerStars has announced the site is to re-run its $10 million guaranteed Sunday Million Twelfth Anniversary Edition and has also launched a new variant of NL Texas Hold´em called Split Hold´em – which bears more than a passing resemblance to the existing Run It Twice feature on cash game tables.

In Poker What Does Running It Twice Means
Back in February, PokerStars hosted a special Twelfth Anniversary Edition of its flagship Sunday Million tournament. The event attracted a lot of attention, but not quite enough to meet the tournament´s ambitious $10 million guaranteed prize pool – falling about $1.2 million short.
What Does Running It Twice Mean In Poker
Possibly due to Party Poker announcing [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/party-poker-releases-new-power-series-tournament-schedule-22223″]big guarantee[/geolink] after [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/party-poker-raises-the-bar-with-20-million-gtd-millions-22063″]big guarantee[/geolink], PokerStars has decided to run the event again on Sunday 22nd April. Again the tournament will have a $10 million guarantee, and again the event will be supported by a comprehensive satellites schedule. Whether or not the event succeeds in surpassing its ambitious guarantee this time, only time will tell.
What the Heck is Split Hold´em?
When you play cash games at PokerStars, you have the option to “Run it Twice” when you or another player is All-In (the option is activated via the Settings > Gameplay tabs in the poker client). When you “Run it Twice”, the remaining community cards are dealt twice over two separate boards. The logic behind running it twice is that the option reduces variance.
Split Hold´em is basically “Run it Twice” from the pre-flop stage without the necessity of a player being all in. Each player is dealt two hole cards as in a normal hand of Texas Hold´em, and a regular round of pre-flop betting follows. Once the round of pre-flop betting is completed, two flops are dealt and a round of post-flop betting takes place.

The action continues until showdown or until all but one player folds their cards. At showdown, the remaining players reveal their cards and the pot is divided between the winner of each hand – unless one player has won both hands, in which case he or she scoops the entire pot. It takes a fair amount of concentration to master, but the game is already proving to be popular.
New Variant Divides Poker Community
Despite attracting plenty of players (possibly due to its novelty value), the new variant of Texas Hold´em has divided the poker community. Whereas some contributors to the 2+2 poker forum insist it is great way to reduce variance and quickly collect points towards the Stars Rewards program, others argue the game is nothing more than a rake grab, as more players will be involved in more hands.
From our experience of observing the games, the action tends to happen a lot quicker than on regular NL Hold´em tables – justifying one 2+2 contributor´s comment that Split Hold´em is “more fun”. Indeed, because of its 6-Max format, it reminds us of Zoom Poker without the opportunity to go to a new table when you fold your cards.
The argument more players will be involved in more hands certainly appears to be true. Again from our experience, there appears to be an awful lot of gambling going on at the tables and not a lot of skill being shown. However, PokerStars is not making them play Split Hold´em games. The site is hosting the game, giving players the opportunity to try it, and deducting rake from the pot as they normally would.
Split Hold´em Now Live at PokerStars
The Split Hold´em games can be found under their own special tab on PokerStars´ .com and .eu platforms. They range in stakes from $0.02/$0.05 to $10.00/$20.00 with the buy-in fixed at eighty Big Blinds (so you have to buy-in with $40.00 if you want to play at the $0.10/$0.25 tables). It is worth giving the games a try to form you own opinion about whether Split Hold´em is good for the game or not.
Certainly the dual-pot format of the games will help any new player clear the [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/pokerstars”]PokerStars bonus[/geolink] with less risk to their bankrolls – which is an ideal way to start an online poker experience; but whether or not Split Hold´em remains a permanent fixture in PokerStars´ portfolio of games will likely depend on the volume of traffic once the novelty period ends.
Don´t miss your opportunity to play Split Hold´em or qualify early for Take 2 of the Sunday Million Twelfth Anniversary Edition. Visit PokerStars today.
