Full Tilt have got an interesting Run it Twice feature.  If you get all the chips in pre-flop at selected holdem tables you can choose to get 2 boards dealt out.  Then you get awarded 50% of the pot for each board you win.

Say for example if you had AA and got all-in against QQ

If the boards were:
1) K J 4 3 Q (arrrrh bad beat on the river)
2) 4 9 J 2 T
Then you would still get half the pot even though you got the bad beat

It’s a great way to flatten out a bit of variance.  If you fancy giving it a go then sign up to Full Tilt with a bonus up to $600
