if you're trying to make them game appeal to players with smaller bankrolls, why make it a full kill? The cost of playing one big kill pot to the river could easily be a huge chunk of a reasonable buy-in for a standard 3-6.

On another note, despite being a donator, I had a lot of fun playing the rotation game and would reccomend it as a change of pace from Hold em.

Our new 3-6 game is squeaky clean.

Another good question.... and this is something where there could be flexibility. In a kill game there must be two qualifications first. The player must have a leg up, and the pot must reach a pre-determined size. Our idea of incorporating the kill was to appeal to those players to whom 3/6 is too small a limit, while providing an enviroment where those who feel more comfortable in a 3/6 game have the opportunity to take the occasional stab at the bigger limits. I got this idea from playing at Casino Arizona, where all the low limit games are full kill. Those who cannot handle the hands when the limit increases (on average one out of every 30 or so hands) generally avoid playing when that occurs, and those who feel like gambling.... do (kill pots tend to generate a lot of action, and the "killer" often over-protects their hand because they feel pot committed). The other thought was to have a 1/2 kill, but thats not as easy with a 3/6 game since the small blind is an odd number.

4/8 is a common game in this market, 3/6 differentiates the room from all others while providing enough space to jump up to the pink chip game in the middle limits.

I have been bombarded with PMs reguarding this, things are looking good so far... lots of interest [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've played kill games where one or the other of these requirements was used and the kill pots came fast and furious. Using both should reduce the number kill pots significantly. Sounds like the way to do it.

Does the leg up require a pot of a certain size or just the second pot?

A player gets a leg up each time they win the hand. Then if the win a hand with a leg up, and the minimum pot size has been met, the next hand becomes a kill pot.

From what I have heard, I think Foxwood's kills are only determined by pot size, which is not ideal in this scenario.

Games? Limit? Stud structures? And, most importantly, triple draw?
