Online Poker Forum - Oct 15th Update

New this update:

A. Run It Twice - Most of you already know what this is from live cash games (or TV), but briefly: If there are two players in the hand and there's an all-in and call before the river, and both players have decided to run it twice (there’s a new checkbox in the "permanent checkbox" area of the table), any board cards left to come will be dealt twice, resulting in two boards. Half the pot will go to the winner of the first board and half the pot will go to the winner of the second board.

For now, only NLH, PLO, and HA games in Ivey's Room have Run It Twice enabled. We will likely enable RIT for lower stakes games in the coming weeks.

More info (to be posted in the next couple of minutes) can be found here:

B. Cashout Tournaments - A totally new type of tournament. If you've ever heard someone say "I wish I could just take these tournament chips and cash out right now," well, now they can. Part (usually half) of your buyin goes to the regular prize pool, but the rest goes to a "Cashout Pool" which gets depleted as people "cash out" of the tournament.

By way of example: Say the buyin is $20 and you start with 1,000 chips. If $10 of the buyin goes to the Cashout Pool, each 100 chips will be worth $1 of the Cashout Pool. At any time throughout the tournament (except the very beginning while people are still registering and the very end) you can cash out part or all of your tournament chips for cash.

C. 7-Game Tournaments - By popular demand. And yes, as many people guessed, FTOPS Event #2 is 7-Game.

D. A couple of small things - There's finally an icon for Super Turbo tournaments (a yellow T instead of red). The Last Hand Replayer now shows folded upcards for Stud games in the end state of the hand. More bug fixes, including what we hope is the very last "duplicate cards" issue (where you see your Hold'em hole cards twice, making it look like you got dealt 4 cards). Please let us know if you see that issue again. Or any other issue, for that matter (providing as many details as possible).

Ok. so all the stuff in the Feedback and Feature Requests forum is just pie in the sky. Why not close the forum and be done with listening to such ideas.

I like the yellow T for super turbos.

also, I like that they increased some prize pools...and it looks like they added a new $55 turbo rebuy at 23:30.

Good update imo.

Run it twice costs more rake. Just saw them do it and it was 1.3x the max rake.
