Watching it now since everyone is talking about it. Definitely don't want any spoilers.

3 times? Where the hell did that come from?
One of them is an idiot for either suggesting it or accepting it. I am not sure which just yet.

Why? I'd prefer 3 over 2 for a pot that size, personally. That way, at least someone "wins."

I'll admit, I have never been in this situation, but I don't see why Antonius would say 'okay' to this. 3 would be good for Gold since he needs the dough to buy new underpants after Antonius called. (regardless of the results)

You understand that the number of times you run the board (the river card, in this case) doesn't change th EV of the situation, right? Whether they run it once, twice, or 15 times, the long term EV os the situation remains exactly the same. All running it more than once does is lower the short term variance by basically forcing the monetary results of the hand to be slightly closer to the actual equity each player has in the pot.
I would think the results of the running it three times alone would answer your question as to why Antonius would say OK. |

if anyone is reading this thread then they shouldn't worry about spoilers. That hand was incredible. Wow. I was actually feeling sorry for JG when the K came. TP, your boy-toy handled the soul sucking defeat well.
But by far the best part of the show was Doyle getting grumpy at the end and wanting the game to move faster. He is such a grumpy old man, I love it. And then Gabe riffing that Doyle was missing "Big Valley". I laughed my ass off at that. That show was awesome and I can totally see DB watching it. |

Running it more than once reduces variance, not EV, since in effect, it is akin to playing the same hand 3 times. The more often you run the hand the closer the immediate result comes to the actual EV. While PA (prior to the running of the rivers) would have probably preffered to only see one or two rivers, he yields to Golds suggestion for the same reason you don't tap the glass. He wants to keep the fish happy and playing, and if running it 3 times accomplishes that, then PA is happy to oblige as he believes he will take Gold's money in the long run. Also, PA's demeanor after the hand was beyond awesome. That in and of itself tells me he has what it takes to be the best in the world.
