How to play Kill Games??

[BillFranklin]

trying using the search but couldn't find anything .

Just recently starting playing on 2\4 on UB, which has Kill games. I know that "it depends" but in general what adjustments should i be making. In addition to asking for general advice here are a few specific questions.

1) if i win a pot and have the 1/2 kill should i tighten up or get looser. Is it worth winning another pot if i have to post a kill blind. For example with a 1/2 kill i pick up a9o in the CO and am first to act. Am i still raising here or is it not worth it.

2) I noticed one player who raised out of his Kill blind everytime he had it. Is this an effective strategy? I'm guessing that it will probably work more often than not against a tight table (which UB seems to be given my limited experience there)

3)How often should i trying to make steals against a kill blind. Is it about the same % as stealing regular blinds.
How much does the position of the Kill blind affect my decision here.

anyone..... ?

This isn't that true on UB, but in most kill games (read: Live games) the kill serves to really loosen people up. It's usually worth winning the 2nd pot to get a kill because the post isn't THAT big, you win it more than your fair share of the time and you get great implied odds with so many people loosening up.

On UB, table is tight enough you should probably be treating the kill like a blind post - raise with any two cards if the blinds are tight, and if they defend too much than only raise with any ace, most kings, any pp, and any two paint.

If you're a TAG you shouldn't be getting the kill that often anyway. Its more the preserve of the loosie goosies.

Not sure I agree. Posting a blind is always going to be -ev.
