Default Running it twice?

Anybody know of any poker rooms that let players run it out twice pre flop, on the flop, or on the turn if both parties agree to it?

Any poker room will assuming the stakes are high enough (probably 25/50NL or higher).

Foxwoods won't do it at any stakes (or so the floor told me; what actually happens in practice may be different).

Someone at my 1/2nl table at the Borgata asked to do this about 2 month's ago. No one at the table other than me had any idea what the guys was asking for - including the dealer, who in my opinion is one of the better ones. The player became irate when this wasn't allowed (he lost the whole pot). I literally lol at the request.

I was a little suprised when the dealer stated that "he had never heard of this before". I figured that they must be running it multiple times at the high-limit games?

Could you imagine how this would slow the game down if this was allowed at lower stakes game? People would be running it 2 and 3 times everytime someone was all in.

Much like hoodies (with the hoods up) and sunglasses, as soon as they show the pros on tv doing it (in this case, High Stakes Poker), someone wants to do it/emulate it in thier 1/2 or 2/5 game.

Couldn't agree more. Then again, I got called a troll for saying that.

Of course, I did say it in a trollish sorta way, so I guess that was fair.

At the same time, it's pretty unreasonable to allow it at the high stakes games but not at the low stakes. Stakes are all a matter of perspective, and for a lot of the folks playing NL1/2 the amount of money they have at risk may be a larger fraction of their income or networth than for many of the folks at the high stakes tables who are doing this.

I'm not a fan of "this rule only applies to these stakes".

On Live at the Bike, I've seen it done from 5-10 NL and up.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean to run it out twice?
