Re: What does \"kill\" mean

[ QUOTE ]
Just to be clear. There are two kinds of kills. Both double the stakes. In Type #1, the stakes double on the next hand if the current pot was >$X and was not chopped. In Type #2, the stakes double when the same player wins two pots in a row. In type #2 kills, the winner receives with his first pot, a small disk that says "leg up", and if he wins again, the disk is flipped over so it says "killer".

Derek is correct, though I've seen #2 in Hold Em games, and #1 mostly in Omaha Hi/Lo. Never saw #1 in Hold Em.

I have played #1 in hold'em. The cardroom has a popular round-and-round Hold'em and Omaha/8 game with a 1/2 kill. The kill works the same in both games. Anytime they spread a straight hold'em game with a kill, it is also #1.
