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.

What activates the kill? I think the reason why the foxwoods 5/10 kill game is so good is that a $100 pot activates the kill - and you end up with a kill pot most of the time.

One of you is wrong or one plays during the day and the other on weekends.

There is no point in continuing this discussion. You are convinced that you are right. Regardless of the obvious differences in a game played with or without a kill and the assurances of numerous experienced posters, you are still convinced that you are right. I conceed. You are right.

There is no need for you to be facetious and condescending. All I did was disagree with your point. I'm aware that what I'm saying is opposite of the convenional wisdom, so naturally many will disagree with it.

As to the "obvious differences in a game played with or without a kill," that you imply that I'm not aware of, I already addressed that it hinders action from many low-limit players who are willing to give 5/10 a shot but don't wish to play 10/20. Of course, kills do stimulate action from other players, but I think we can agree this is because certain players will be more willing to play when the kill is on and they see more money in the pot. When the kill is off we should expect less action, but at Foxwoods the 5/10 action is usually great regardless of whether or not the pot is killed. I think these two pieces of evidence support my conclusion that the 5/10 at Foxwoods is not great because it is played with a kill, and therefore another factor or factors is responsible. If you disagree with my evidence or the conclusions that I have drawn from it, that is fine, just please do so respectfully.
