The value from running it twice comes from reducing varience without effecting EV so it's a great options for high stakes all in situations. It does however come with the consequence of often leading to chopped pots which are just unsatisfying.
When playing live you have the option of running it as many times as is reasonable. Running it 3 times is great because there is less opportunity for a chop, there is a further reduction in variance and the sweat goes on for longer. equity nerd version of me is happy and so is the fighter who 'wants blood' at the table and for there to be a winner and a loser and not a boring chop.
However this isn't really an option online from what I've seen in most rooms. I think its annoying but I'm curious to see if most people care or not.
