Running it twice - Page 2 - Global Poker -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The should do something. Introduce straddles, maybe 72o tables. They haven't rolled any new features out in months. The most recent one was adding crazy pineapple, but only to play money games.

I have to say; crazy pineapple would be crazy fun for real money!

They have it for real money but only at microstakes as of now, not sure why. Also I've been really sad not to see you around at global I used to love playing with you!

Interesting thought i had while reading this thread.

Most fish tend to buy in around 25bbs to 50bbs from 50NL to 200NL. Basically they tend to be short. Running it twice may actually incentivize fish to chase draws that they normally might fold. If they know they can run it twice with a reg they might jam or call off flush/straight draws when clearly behind with little fold equity. While this won't change the EV it may actually make certain fish play worse than they normally would. Thus increasing win rates.

And regs like Poker12 not wanting to decrease variance to me seems absurd. But SnG grinders are psychos.

Whatever is more fun for new players is fine with me. Feature should be optional, and default setting should be “off” of course.

I think if the pots get over 150 bbs a pop up should come up asking if we want to run it twice. Other then that meh. If you scared to lose 100bbs find another game to play.

It's not about you. It's about:

And those aren't the players you want to "find another game to play".

Yeah, but do we have any data that tells us running it twice is more fun for fun players?

How could we have such data? What is your point?

Well I am a human and I play poker so you can call me a sample size of 1 and I can tell you I think it adds a little more excitement to the game to watch 2 run-outs.
