I play in a 10-20 game that has a half kill. Clearly when you have a leg up, you must tighten up your starting requirements because, if you win, you are forced to put out a $15 blind. You have some pot equity (maybe $3), but even so, this is a tax of about $12. You can think of this as an additional $12 rake if you win the hand.

I’m interested to get some opinions on how much to tighten up your starting requirements if you have a leg up.

Thanks.

I think it's more that if you're in a pot, you have to reduce your pot odds by 3/4 of a BB because you'll be forced to post the blind if you win.
