Run it Twice Online

Carbon Poker is currently the only poker room that allows players to “deal it twice” which means to run the flop and turn twice after two players go all in. Here is an example of how it works: James was dealt Queen-Jack suited in clubs and Joseph was dealt King-Ten suited in diamonds.  Both players saw the flop of [ Kh-2d-10h ] and they both went all in. After going all in on the flop Carbon Poker gives the players an option to deal out the turn and river twice to make two different out comes and the winner of each outcome/hand earns half the pot.

Professional players at high stakes will “deal it twice”, which is also known as “run it twice” several times throughout a session. It’s popular among high stakes games because it lowers the variance, which means rather than a large pot depend on one turn and river card poker players can reduce their risk by dealing it twice and get closer to true odds.

There are a few conditions that have to be met when dealing it twice on Carbon Poker, they include:

  • only available on real money No Limit Hold’em ring games.
  • only available when two players are all in on the flop with no other players in the hand.
  • if players go all in preflop they have the option to run it twice pre-flop and post-flop, however, only the turn and river will be dealt twice.
  • There are select tables and limits that allow the deal it twice feature.

Below is a YouTube video of Daniel Negreanu and Jennifer Harman getting all their money in against each other on the flop and they decide to run it twice. This is the same scenario that can be played out on CarbonPoker.com.
