It just adds action and makes for big, exciting pots. If you win 2 pots in a row over X dollars (x being some number the casino sets, basically anything over a small pot) You get a kill button in front of you, and you post a big bet (6 bucks in the 3/6). Then, preflop, the 1/3 blinds post, and its 6 dollars to play the hand all the way to the blinds, and after everyone is called up, you get the option to raise before the flop. Im not sure how it works if say you are the killer on the button and someone raises to 12 before it gets to you, Im pretty sure you still act last, and can decide to call or not.

In any case, postflop it just plays like a normal 6/12 pot, and you keep the kill blind in front of you until you lose, in which case the "leg up" button goes to the pot winner, and turns into a kill button if he also wins the next pot, rinse, repeat. I may be leaving something out because Ive only been to a poker room twice.

From what Ive gathered intuitively, it sucks for you because you have to post 6 bucks, but if you have it near the button it isnt so bad at all.

Im not sure how an O8 kill works, I assume it gets handed out when someone scoops both ends of a pot.


PS - I forgot to add in my first post; aces went 0-3, and KK and JJ lost the only time I got them as well
