Anybody ever run it twice during a home cash game?
I've been watching too much HSP on youtube.

Absolutely. I always offer when I'm on the wrong end of the coin flip, never when I'm on the good end. My opponents haven't quite picked up on that yet.

Ive seen this a few times on HSP but dont really know how it works...

Can someone please explain?

at first, I was under the impression, that if you ran it twice, it was two separate bets. It was explained to me, though, that if you each win it once, then it's a push and no one takes the pot. In order to claim the pot, your hand has to win twice. You burn and turn over the cards just like a regular hand, but push them away and burn and turn again for the second run.

Well, its a push, but the pot is split... You may have meant that, but it really wasn't clear...

Here's an explanation of why you do it, from last month's Card Player: http://cardplayer.com/magazine/article/15723

It takes too long to explain it at the stakes I'm playing so I don't do it. I would if I played higher stakes though.

Some in my group do - but I don't.

well, you know on sports shows when they ask a panelist which team has the better offense and the one guy says 'push', meaning it's a tie and he can't pick a winner?

that's what I meant by 'push', a tie.

It was just interesting to see Mr Brunson's pair of sevens hit a third seven on the first run then get whacked by a pairing queen for Mr. Elezra on the second run during one of those episodes.

Seems like you don't want to run it twice when you got a pp. (as smoore stated anyway in terms of being on the right side of the flip)

I'd love to try it if we ever got a cash game off the floor in my group.
