Guy Laliberte is the man for understanding the situation and doing something super nice. Respect to him.

[@da3v1ls93]

I agree, he didn't have to do that. I dare say of the shoe was on the other foot and ne was a 2:1 dog he wouldn't change anything

[@robertacierno2803]

It obviously was stupid of him to offer that deal, unless he just really liked David or felt badly for him. But if you make the difficult call with top 2 there, you don’t let the guy out of 600 for 43. You run it two or three times and maybe David gets a piece back. But from a poker perspective, it was terrible for himself to offer that.

[@pauldavis5665]

@@robertacierno2803 it is not "stupid" of him to offer the deal because his intent was to be a nice guy and just give David a break. He knew he was the big favorite to win, he just wanted to be a nice guy, nothing wrong with that. Guy is a billionaire, from his perspective this is a friendly casual game, this is no where near high stakes for him.

He ended up going all in and the other guy (who had a flush off the flop) started to get mad. "What do you have" he asked the young guy. "Pocket 10's". He gave a long breathe and said they could run it 3 times. Instead of dealing just the river, they ran the whole set 3 times.

[@RomeoKissJuliet0]

@@scottlauren3145 If you have a better hand and run it more than once, yes you give your opponent more opportunities to suck out on you. But you also reduce your chance of getting sucked out completely. For example, if your opponent has 1 out after the turn, that's a 2% chance. It's probably not going to happen, but there is that 2% chance of you losing the entire pot. If you run the river 10 times instead, you still have about a 81% chance of winning the entire pot, and even if that 1 outer comes in 1 of the 10 rivers, you still won 90% of the pot.
