Poker Features - Deal It Twice

Viva Macau is pleased to include this dealing option that has experienced increasing popularity in live cash games. If you are a poker pro playing with the odds, variance and EV on each hand, you wil appreciate the Deal it Twice feature.

If you and another player go all-in you will be given the option to deal the turn and the river cards twice. If you choose to Deal it Twice you will be making your five card hand out of nine cards instead of seven.

For example, lets say that Player X is dealt Qh Jh, and Player Y is dealt Ks 10d. After the first betting round, the flop comes down Js Ad 10d. Both players shove all in, but must be concious that the other player may have an Ace, or even pocket Kings.

With more cards you have more chances to improve your hand. Of course, your opponent is afforded that benefit as well.

Deal It Twice is optional and both players in a hand must agree to dealing it twice. If one player doesn't consent, the hand will proceed in the traditional format. You can permanently disable Deal It Twice and will not be provided with the option to Deal It Twice.

Further Conditions:

Deal It Twice is only available on real money No-Limit Hold'em ring games.

Deal It Twice can only be chosen when exactly two players are all-in, with no other players active in the pot.
