Stupid question:

I know if you run it twice and split, you chop the pot. But if you win both, do you collect twice?

win both, you take the whole pot

I know....like I said, dumb question...my question is, do you take twice the original pot? If not, what's the advantage to the one who is ahead to agree to run it twice?
