Default Re: adjusting to kill pots?

I think a kill pot is different than just doubling the stakes. The blinds are still at the smaller limit. Depending on where the killer is and how he plays, you may or may not be able to raise more lightly to get control of the dead money.

If the killer is on the button and he and the blinds will defend any 2, then you can't open-raise UTG with KTo. If the killer is in the cutoff to your right and it's folded to him, you can raise more lightly to face the blinds with a fairly large overbet for your pot equity vs. killer's random hand.

I think killers tend to be more loose (that's how they won 2 hands in a row!), so if you're isolating you need some sort of actual hand.

Default Re: adjusting to kill pots?

One thing I forgot to mention is I generally tighten up after winning one pot because I don't want to post a kill unless I will be in position.
