Newbie questions

[octop]

I just read the o8 section in SS2 found this game to be very interesting ( I have played hold em for over a year)
I have played online so far either .10/.25 pl or .5/1 limit (I am doing ok so far- I wanna improve and definalty have the money to play higher I usually play 2/4 NLHE)

So fat to me the players seem pretty crappy (chasing non nut flushes with no low draw, I saw a 4 way all in that bottom set one vs 2 pair, 2 pair and top pair- and noone had a low!) is this common in live games in vegas?

What is a kill game? ( Ive heard of it in hold em but rarely play live)

For anyone who plays NLHE also, what if anything from that game will help me in o8?

Thanks and Im sorry if these seem like really easy questions
