Quelle: YouTube Thema: [[Run It Twice]] Link : [https://youtu.be/H_oM0LV9siM](https://youtu.be/H_oM0LV9siM) ## Description Today we're finally debunking the misconceptions regarding running multiple boards in a poker hand. ## Youtube Comments The key point is that draws are not independant from each other, which could change the ev by running it multiple times. If you have lets say As5s, you only need 3 spades to have nut flush, but you could also get 4 or 5 spades on a runout. This évent is not taken in account when you run it one time, but significantly reduces your équity for next runs when running multiple Times. This is only true if you made the decision after the first run out to run it twice. Well, the events you are computing the espérance of are not the same. I would like to have a python holdem simulator to test it. --- Small caveat to "it doesn't matter": there are instances where there are strategic (not mathematical/equity) considerations. For example, if you're in a game with shallower max buy-ins, you'd probably never want to run it twice, because win or lose (preferably win), you're better off getting large stacks on the table. Or maybe you have a suspicion that your opponents don't have a good deepstack strategy? You might be better off running it once because in the event that you do lose, there's a good chance your villain won't be able to adjust to a deep stack strategy and you could more easily win some of your losses (and then some) back. Or maybe there is a whale at the table that wants to run it twice, and it's just generally good for the game to keep the whale happy? Then running it twice is the smart play. So, generally, you're correct that it doesn't affect your equity, but there are still some things to consider. Very fair points! My video focused more specifically on the likelihood/percentages on winning/losing, however the raw monetary implications and other small factors can certainly influence the decisions. I certainly agree with your first point in that if the stacks are small, then 1 time to load more money onto the table is certainly the way to go. There will of course be small optimizations per instance that can push a decision one way or another to being more correct for that specific instance, I absolutely agree! Thank you for the constructive feedback!
