Default Re: I know I\'m a moron, but.....

The rooms I play normally always play kills in LO8b. The optimal way a room should play kill blinds is to have the KB act last(he has a forced bet and should get last action). I have played both ways.
The KB should not alter the way you play. You still count outs, pot odds, position, & player reads. If you have a bad hand & face a raise, does the pot offer you the correct odds to continue? You still make most of your decisions based on EV outlook.
I loved winning the pots to put up the KB. (a) I won a large scoop pot, (b) if I win the next pot, I'll probably win another large pot or fold for the cost of the blind. I just play fundamental sound poker. I love it when I hear players say "I don't play KB hands unless I have premium cards." Half the job of reading the player is given out before the hand is dealt.
KB games are excellent situations to make money. We make most of our profits from others mistakes (not brillance on our own). When others are worried about the size of the bets, they are more likely to make decision errors. Sounds like +EV for me.
