## Definition
Run It Twice Is An Agreement Between All In Players To Deal The Remaining Board Cards Two Times And Split The Pot, With Half Going To The Winner Of Each Run. It Does Not Change Anyone's Expected Value, But It Reduces Variance, So A Big Pot Is Less Likely To Be Decided Entirely By One Card.

The Player Ahead Can Pay A Premium To Be Paid Back If An Opponent's Out Lands, Which Reduces Variance On Big All In Pots. The Price Is Set From The Number Of Outs, And The House Keeps The Edge.
- [Variance](https://smarter.poker/glossary/variance) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/variance.md)): Variance Is The Spread Of Results Around A Player's Expected Value. High Variance Games Such As Tournaments And Pot Limit Omaha Produce Long Losing And Winning Stretches Even For Skilled Players. Understanding Variance Keeps Decisions Tied To Expected Value, And It Is Why A Large Sample Of Hands Is Needed Before Judging Any Strategy.
- [Equity](https://smarter.poker/glossary/equity) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/equity.md)): Equity Is Your Share Of The Pot Based On How Often Your Hand Would Win If All Remaining Cards Were Dealt With No Further Betting. A Hand With 40 Percent Equity In A 100 Chip Pot Owns 40 Chips Of It On Average. Equity Against A Whole Range, Rather Than One Hand, Is What Drives Sound Decisions.
