RUNNER-RUNNER



This is a slang term used in a situation when a poker player needs two other cards to win the hand after dealing the flop. 

You can see many runner-runner winning hands especially in online poker. The truth is that online if the players are not playing with real money they don’t carry about odds and outs and call every bet you make. In this case it is common to see a runner-runner flush, straight, trips or even quads coming.
In live poker, I think, to give your opponent the possibility to hit his runner-runner is when you check the flop (if you hit for example the top pair with top kicker) or you don’t bet  enough. If the turn brings a card to his draw it is most impossible to get your opponent out of the hand with any bet.

Other case is when both players are pre flop all in. Then you can’t influence anything anymore. In this case it is pure luck to get a runner-runner.
