Kill?
 

Basically i was reading this thread. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=1#Post12990676 and i was wondering what a kill is? By the looks of it means doubling the blinds or bets. Or something similar if anyone could help me out thank you [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

KILL (OR KILL BLIND)
An oversize blind, usually twice the size of the big blind and doubling the limit. Sometimes a "half-kill" increasing the blind and limits by fifty percent is used. A kill can be either voluntary or mandatory. The most common requirements of a mandatory kill are for winning two pots in a row, or for scooping a pot in high-low split.

A kill is used also if the pot reaches a predetermined amount. For instance, in my casino there is a 1-5 spread limit game (betting from 1-5 dollars on all streets) but when the pot reaches $50, then the next hand is a kill and the game becomes 5-10 (betting and raising of $5 pre and post flop and $10 on the turn and river). This is an enticing game because fish think they are getting into a 5 max bet game, but very often it is double that and so are the pots. I would say about half the pots in this game are kill pots also.
