At the present time I'm not using the option "run it twice". If hornestly, I can't to explain exactly why... Merely I don't use this option, and all!

I never use that option . I have it disabled at the options , permanently . I see no point in using it . On the other hand the cash out option is very useful and I use it .

yes and it is a good option, especially when the villain has a good amount of outs.

No. It's something that does not take my fancy. Although I do use the cash out option at times.

I have that turned on. My current reasoning is that if I'm the favoured player in the situation, I still have better chances to win both boards than villain.
While if I'm the player with less pot odds, then I just have a second chance to win and get back to (roughly) even.
Though, still not sure if I will have it turned on for the future as well, but currently this is where I stand.

I rarely play On-line cash games, and at a Casino I have never asked for it, but if the person I am playing against does ask for a "Run it Twice" option I do oblige them because I do believe in good sportsmanship. It's a little like asking for a Split of the prize money in a Tournament. If I am short on chips I would never ask the other players to split the prize money, I consider it an insult to them, but if I am asked as the Chip leader in a game I would consider it depending on stack sizes.
Once I was heads up against a player who waited until he only had 2 BBs left, he asked me to split, and I said "you are joking aren't you?" I'm calling with any 2 cards you shove all-in with at this point in the game.
I don't like being taken for a fool in a situation like that but if we were closer to 60%-40% or 70%-30% then I would consider a fair and/or equal split.

Because villain might have 9% equity with a gutshot and suck put on you causing you to go on monkey tilt. at least running it twice you should win 50% of the pot.

Also if you only get it in with the nuts you are probably a nit :ROFLMAO: need to bluff more...

I've been thinking about this option. Because the river can be unpredictable. To lose twice with a 90% chance of winning, you need to be the unluckiest person on a given day.

I don't play so much of cash game, but I have never agreed to run it twice or more. I probably should but just done. It does have the advantage of cutting down the variance.
