Re: running it twice
[ QUOTE ]
was watching a High Stakes poker and saw a hand in which Matesow and farha decided to run the flop twice (Mat had TT, farha AA). Matasow hit his set on the river of the last run, farha's AA held up on the first run, for a split pot. Why would farha agree to run it twice if he knew he had an advantage? Seems he knowingly gave Matasow twice the opportunity to hit and crack his aces.

I like running it twice when I am ahead. Long term, it is the same EV as running it once. And I don't have to pay for insurance.
And there are three "good" outcomes. If I win both or lose both, it's the same as running it once. If I lose the top and win the bottom, it's better than running it once. It only sucks when I win the top and lose the bottom.
