You can practically play as tight as you want if there are numerous kill pots since you are only paying $7 a round instead of the $15 it costs to play 10/20.
#3 - Bad players will win numerous pots in a row and be forced to post kill blinds more often than good players. this seems insignificant but it gets bad players involved in more pots and defending more blinds. The more they play, the more mistakes they will make.

I have been giving Steve-O a lot shit lately :good: So I have to give him some
props here.
These two points really have me thinking.
I was always leery of Kill games because I thought it was a trick by the casino to up the rake and get people to play higher than they want.
But point 1 is excellent. This may just give me the motivation to play them more. UB has a 2/4 kill O8b game and numerous holdem kill games. I never thought of using the value approach to these games.
