Re: high stakes poker season 4?

In my mind "action" and agreeing to run it twice and buying insurance are opposites. I hope we don't get teased with big pots only to have them split or have the players negotiate down to a much smaller amount.

I always laugh a bit when I hear about these pros in high stakes cash games running the river - TWICE. Granted, everything is relative, but if these players are going to be allowed to run the river more than once, for god sakes, run it three times! All you're doing is reducing variance, so if players are up for making a deal to do just that, then they should always run it 3 times.
I have to assume they are only allowed to run it two times on the show - but if they're allowed to run it three, there's no reason *not* to run it 3 times if they have the option.
If they don't have the option - shame on the producers. Gabe can explain it to the viewers at home. There's a lot of money involved.
