I've also tried the 5/10 O8b game in the hopes of action and kill pots. I've found this to be the rockiest game I have ever seen. I don't think we had a kill pot. What has been your experience?

It depends a little on the lineup. I'm usually the youngest player in the game by at about 40 years (I'm a smidge under 30) and, despite being crotchety retirees, they aren't all rocks. A lot of the players are very loose preflop but passable postflop so you can push them around. Some of them are complete calling stations calling down with any low and/or any two pair or better for high (Lorraine is one older woman who plays this way many people on this board know-- she also says "ship it" in a loud voice whenever she's got anything that entitles her to any part of the pot).

One reason there aren't many kill pots is that it has to be a scoop for there to be a kill and, if there's no low, the pots aren't big enough to trigger one and, if there is one, its rare for one player to get both sides.
