| Re: Kill Pots
believe it or not, the rules for kill pots vary by casino. for example, at the Palms, the SB and BB stay the same, the killer posts 2xBB, and anyone who wants to come in has to call the 2xBB that the killer posted.
however, most of the places that i've played, the SB and BB are raised as well. in a $4/8 with a full-kill, the blinds become $4 and $8 (normally would be $2 and $4), and the killer has to post $8. at the MGM, anyone at a 4/8 table can request to play with a kill (or a half-kill) and the casino will do it as long as everyone currently seated at the table agrees.
some places give the killer the last action (just an option to raise, really), regardless of their position, while others make the killer play in turn. in all cases that i've seen, the UTG player is still the first to act pre-flop. if the blinds weren't doubled, the UTG player has to come in for the amount posted by the killer, and the big blind has to call the difference b/w the BB and the killer's post in order to see the flop. things are much simpler when the blinds are simply doubled.
