Hand @ 3/6 full kill - strategy question
Playing 3/6 full kill game @ Trump indiana. Structure is that if one player wins two pots in a row, he posts $6 on the next hand while the blinds stay @ $1 and $3. Then the game plays like a 6-12.
If the killer wins again, same deal - he posts $6 and it's a 6-12. Up till now, all the kill pots have been 3-4 handed and unraised. So we're at normal 3/6 and I win a pot. Next hand, we're still 3/6 and I'm the cutoff w/ KT off. Folded to me with 3 tight passive players behind me. Should I raise it up or fold it? If I win then I have to post $6 in the next pot as a kill. |

Easy raise regardless of kill posts.

I don't normally play kill games, so maybe somebody with more experience can chime in. You have 3 tight passives behind you and there is $4 in the pot. You raise to $6 and everyone folds. Assuming a "no flop no drop" policy, you now have $10. You then post the kill, leaving you with $4. Hence, your steal raise has netted you -$2. Granted, there will be times when you win more than just the blinds in the nonkill hand, or win the kill pot for a nice profit. However, having to post a kill on the next pot reduces your implied odds on the current pot. Somebody with more experience in playing kill games please respond to this. |
