Sure, and then I eat a slab of Tofu for the zesty flavor

There's some implications that nobody (I don't think) has brought up yet.

What if you're short stack, and get called in two places? Do you run two boards for both players? How does the betting go?

Why not just run two different boards on EVERY hand?

Do you mean that there are two boards and you just keep betting into one pot and at the end give half to the person who wins board A and half to who wins B?

I think the other way would be cooler, put down two flops and bet on one and then have another pot where you bet on the other. So you could fold on one board and still bet on the other. Smart players would be able to read hands so well with this system.

obviously you dont run two boards unless no more action can be completed, it would mean checking the board down would guarantee a better chance of busting someone but thats the only way you can do it, in cash if you're all in three way and theres still action you cant run it twice

like thayer, i think this could certainly be fun and intersting to actually do, while obviously its never going to replace standard tournaments, ill defintely suggest it next time im involved in a home game

As I said before, the above poster mentioned not covering the blinds as a condition of elimination. Imagine you are on the bubble and have t100 above the BB. You get it in with the above mentioned scenario, and lose your 2% of equity, dropping you below the BB threshhold. You are then eliminated. That would be tasty....

"with 5000+ in the ME not being able to cover the blinds
or antes should be sufficient for elimination."

That would be tough luck, you're out. But after the antes
kick in having 40% equity is usually sufficient to win
chips rather than lose chips.

Double-flop Hold 'Em - we've played it before. Everyone is betting, but you have no idea which flop they're betting for.

I am a tournament director for a living. My job is to nit pick and trouble shoot tournament strucutres and ideas. I was pointing out some scenarios that wouldn't be easy to deal with given the constraints. Not a personal attack, just an obsservation.

This is actually pretty cool... a few questions I have:

1. This is probably obvious, but in a tournament where you 'run it twice' on an allin do you split the pot if one player wins each board and shove if a player wins both? That's what I'm assuming.

In a cash game, do you do it the same? or do players have to $$ up after the first one and run it again?

2. In double flop, wouldn't it be distantly similar to a high-low game where players would need to scoop pots? Kind of a cool idea, I guess.

Think the running it twice only applies when the all in ends the action. Doesn't apply with the short stack all in and
the other players still able to bet.
