Re: Situation while \"running it twice\" during home cash game

solution: don't be stupid and run it twice
[/ QUOTE ]
On it's face, running it two or three times isn't stupid. Although people do it in stupid situations. I have offered this option several times when making a large bet into a pot with someone who is on just a draw. Getting them to call a large 3/4 pot sized bet with 12 outs and one card to come, when they would otherwise fold is +EV. (particularly if some of that pot is dead money)
Getting your opponent with a set to run it twice when you are behind with a draw and already have the money in is definitely +EV.
Offering it or accepting it when you are ahead and your opponent has already called is stupid. (unless of course there are some meta-game issues involved, like keeping the fish happy and in the game)
