But if the cards haven't been turned over how does either player truly know what the situation is. Who knows what they might be thinking they're up against and how long they might be inclined to discuss it?
I really don't understand the reluctance to turn over the cards that most people have expressed here. What exactly is the concern?

Turn the cards up or not is not a factor for me, but I know plenty of players who don't understand the math who think running it twice only benefits them if they're behind.

If you have the unbeatable nuts just table your hand and end any discussion around how many times to run it. Usually a good time for a "poker sorry" as well.
If you don't have the nuts then just ask "Twice?" If they don't know what you're talking about then just run it once and explain it to them afterwards. If they do know what you're talking about they'll either agree, disagree, or ask "three times?" in which case you can agree or say "nope, let's just do it once".
It's not that hard. I've never seen it disrupt our games at all (splitting the pot is a different matter altogether but the actual negotiation between players in the know is usually less than 3 seconds...and we don't table if we don't have the nuts, just ask twice, yes or no, table and ship).

Probably a dumb question, but if you run it 3 times and one player wins twice, they get 2/3s of the pot? or all of the pot?
I assumed 2/3s, which sounds like a nightmare for some of the guys I play with (if normal splits are anything to go by), but some of the posts in this thread seem to indicate that the player winning twice may get all of the pot?

They get 2/3 of the pot.
2/3 - 1/3 is correct. Splitting the pot is relatively easy -- make three equal stacks. No counting required. Start with the largest denomination chips.

I think a player like the one in your example would do the same if the cards aren't shown. If he's holding a set against a draw heavy board he'll insist on running it once. If he semi-bluffed with a flush draw and got called, he'll ask/beg for multiple runs. The way you stop that behavior is expose it. The other players will quickly learn not to make any deals with him. If he wants to continue to draw when he's behind and/or get invited back to the game he will change his ways.

So, for sake of etiquette, provided the number of looks remains the same, I'm obligated to accept all future requests for more looks in that session because I requested more looks or accepted one earlier in the session?
Conversely, am I obligated to refuse if I refused earlier?
Again, number of times being run remains constant

We play $1/$2 NL and leave up to the players involved whether they run once, twice or Three times and they mostly show their hands while deciding what they want to do. Some guys advertise that they always run it once no matter what. Knowing a guy will run it multiple times will definitely influence you making a large bet sometimes because you can get the fold equity of a large bet and if the guy calls you can run it multiple times.
I always leave it up to other player and for me it is Once or Three times, no chops.

quickly realizing my run it twice/3x/4x etiquette for my game is completely player dependent.
let me run it 2x+ when I'm behind, I'll 100% return the favor.
be a dickhead, I wont run it multiple times.

Not necessarily an etiquette question but more a mechanics: if playing 10-handed PLO, how should a full board be run twice? (4 x 10 = 40, 12 cards left). I'd assume it would go: burn, flop, burn, turn, burn, river, burn, flop, shuffle burns, burn, turn, burn, river. The other option would be to shuffle burns into stub after first river. Never run into it but I tend to think of rare occasions lol.

Don't play 10 handed PLO that sounds brutal, problem solved

Also, don't play PLO with only 4 cards in your hand. Restricts you even further.
Also, not as likely to get AIPF in PLO, so typically you only need to run the last 2 cards twice.
burn, deal both flops, burn, deal both turn cards face-up and then deal both rivers.face down. 1+6+1+2+2 = 12 cards. Turn over the two river cards only when/if appropriate.
Or just deal nine players only, dealer seat always sits out.

Right, like I said, never run into it before and probably won't, just wondering if there is a standard practice?
