New "Run it twice" feature on Full tilt - Poker News

rake

Rake is the percentage of a pot that the house collects as compensation for hosting a game. At Full Tilt Poker the maximum rake in ring games is $3, with a minimum pot size needed for any rake. The only exception is a hand completed where players have chosen to use Run it Twice, where maximum rake is $4.

I think it can reduce the variance a bit for especially PLO players.

Yeah, not a good idea. Then people will want to do this all the time live in like 1-2 games. Terrible idea.

Seems like it would be fun during a drunken poker session, with the increased rake Ill never use it.

Increasing rake for this is just offensive. Sadly all of the companies are just different shades of ****ty.

Extra rake is b/c running it twice means FTP doesn't get to deal another hand as quickly and they don't want to miss out on any rake.

This new feature might actually be pretty sweet, because i foresee tons of fish getting it in with any FD or OESD.
