Default Re: Are you looking for 5/10 Limit Holdem in Vegas?

That explains it perfectly. It isn't really a 5-10 it is a 10-20 with occasional relapses to 5-10.

This is not true. Occasionally there will be wacky games that play as 10/20 for hours, but typically the pots are split about 50/50 between kills and non kills.

In regard to your previous comment that the kill attracts people who are just looking to gamble it up, I think most of these types of players are playing 10/20 and higher. In fact, most of the 5/10 players there get a bit intimidated by the raise in stakes in kill pots and play more conservatively than they otherwise would. A tourist limping in for $5, and then pulling back his chip and folding because it's a kill pot is a fairly typical occourance there.
