Default 5-5NL - run it twice?

6 people limp to me, I limp with black 33 on the button. Blinds check.

Flop $45 - J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

checks to UTG (big donkey, ~$400) who bets $30, folds to CO (tight, solid, $600) who calls, I ($800) raise to $140, SB moves all-in for $495, UTG folds, CO folds, I call

SB is a decent player, but has been playing bad LAG the last few times I played with him. I am 100% sure he has a flush draw, at best 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but probably worse.

SB asks if I want to run it twice? Do I?

Yeah, I know it doesn't really change the EV of the situation. What's your preference and why?

Uh.. who cares? Do you like variance? Run it twice if you prefer lower variance (as most people do)

No. Be cool like Barry Greinstein and be "one time man"

Your the favorite and a nice one at that. Ask to see his cards first. If it's A-4 then no. If its 4-5, then it's up to you bc its pretty close.

Is there a cap on the buy in? Do you have the cash to cover if you go broke?

Do other donks have a lot of money?

this is a very good point - if it is one of those gay games that make you buy in for 40bb max, hell no am i doing business, i want to get deep with the donks.

if i can buy in to cover the donks, i don't really care what the outcome is.

70% of the big stack, which be him if he won.

Yeah, I had enough cash on hand to cover...and I could get a tab if necessary.

Most of the donks (4 of them at the table) had 300-400.
