Re: an easy question: how does the kill work in omaha/8?
awakuni - When somebody scoops a pot above a certain amount the limits on the next hand are doubled and the person who scoops the pot owes a blind post to the next pot. How big the pot has to be to qualify for a kill differs from casino to casino. A sixty dollar or more scooped pot typically qualifies the next pot to be a kill pot.
For example if the person in seat #7 scoops pot that has $60 in it, then $6 of the $60 is a required post for the next pot. If the button is at seat #1, then in a 3/6 game at Commerce, which has a double blind structure, the person in seat #2 posts the small blind ($1), the person in seat #3 posts the big blind ($3), and the person in seat #7 posts the kill blind ($6). Then the action goes around the table, seats #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #1, #2, #3. In Las Vegas games (and everywhere else I have played in Nevada), the kill poster acts last, but in Los Angeles area games, the kill poster acts in the regular seating order. Buzz |

All Omaha games at the Wynn the kill acts in turn, however it is a half kill. In the 10-20 the pot must be $100, and in the 20-40 the kill is on any scooped pot.
