Wrong. It's not a matter of both players in the hand wanting to run it several times, it's the hands/hour that causes the problem. If 2 players in a hand have this theoretical "option" checked to run it twice if given the choice, you also have to consider the rest of the table.

Actually, you're wrong. Probably because you're not an outside the box thinker. Let me help you out. The cards could be dealt simultaneously. We're not talking about physical cards being dealt by a real dealer; we're talking about virtual cards being dealt on a virtual table at whatever speed the site wants to do it. It could even be staggered but each card dealt faster than it is usually dealt to compensate. In other words, your objection is invalid, because it doesn't have to slow anything down.

LOL, please explain to all of us how having the players in the pot, agree to run it 2+ times, and then have to software run the remaining cards out the 2+ times could ever possibly NOT take more time than having the hands play out normally?

I just did. In plain English. If you want me to explain it again, you have to pay me a $200/hour coaching fee.

Your refusal to acknowledge there would be a delay in each hand that is dealt out, no matter how many cards, more than once is making me lol.

How bout this....suppose this "checkbox option" is checked by two player involved in a hand when suddenly...zomg...they're all in.

Does this checkbox option automatically run it twice?

Does it let them choose to run it MORE than twice? Is there a separate option for that?

Say it's just for running the remaining cards twice, are the players hole cards shown to the whole tbl and THEN the AI players can decide to run it twice or not?



Loc: still lol'ing

Wow, are you just not smart or what? Let's try an experiment. Let's say you have a very lucrative job as a programmer for an online poker site. Let's say further that your site has decided to implement the "run it twice" feature and you have been assigned the job of coding it in such a way so as not to decrease game speed. How would you do it?
