Re: \"Playing overs\"
[ QUOTE ]
they can enter into an agreement by which if it's only those few players left in the pot at any point, the stakes double to 20/40 (or 30/60 if it was killed).

Usually the overs don't come into play in kill pots. But you can agree to play it that way.
Many times the ones I see playing overs are guys who like to splash money. It's not a sign of them being more skilled. Something to look for.
There's a very nice advantage to it if the other players suck. You also have to be aware of the better implied odds situations when they might be possible on later streets. Like say, 3 overs guys in with 1 guy not playing overs. If that one guy might fold on a street like, the flop, then the turn bets quadruple the flop bets size-wise.(from the $10 flop bets to $40 turn/river bets)
You'll also need a little bigger roll than you normally play with at that limit when playing overs.
