Running it twice doesn't change your chances of winning.
Over the long run, you win in that situation as often as the odds dictate.

If it's a big pot and you don't want to deal with big swings, run it twice.
If you don't mind the swings, run it once.

Be aware that if you're playing micro limit games on Full Tilt, you're paying more in rake if you run it twice. IE, you lose more money in the long run.

It really is all about swings. At microstakes you should be able maintain a solid win rate with solid play so I wouldn't bother. Its all personal preference though.
