| I just ordered a chip set for an upcoming home game. It came with a button (like the dealer button) that says kill. What is this for? |

I just recently played in a Casino in AZ, and they had a kill button and also a splash pot.
The kill button was kinda neat, just a little different game, but I can imagine it's -EV
The splash pot was nice: when ever the football team scored on tv, they would throw $100 in chips on the table, and whoever wins the hand wins all the money.

Haha. It's good to know you only come to FTR for all things poker.

There has got to be a bit a strategy that can be exploited in this situation as well, as the table (in my limited experience) typically tightens up in kill pots. I would guess something like the following:
If you have the Kill Button in early position... raise that shit up(!) with a HUGE range.. Make people pay to play with you... By contrast, if you are in late position and facing a raise.. good/decent hands should be re-raised to isolate, but facing a raise in late position I would think it's very common (and incorrect) to try to chase pots with marginal hands since you already have double the usual BB in the pot.
I'm curious what experienced/intelligent players have to say... *calling Fnord, calling Fnord* |
