Hi all,
I frequent two cardrooms: Capitol Casino in Sac, and the room at Cache Creek. Capitol plays with a half-kill, and Creek plays both half and full kill.
As I understand it, when a pot is killed, the following happens:
Full Kill: the Killer posts a live blind equal in size to the big blind of the killed amount and the stakes double. Example: 4/8 game killed. killer posts 8 chips and the game is 8/16.
Half Kill: the game is now 1.5x the stake. Eg, 3/6 is now 4/8, 4/8 is now 6/12. No posting required.
I was playing the Slime and they combined the two (three quarters kill?) -- the killer posts, but the stakes are still only 1.5x. They called it half-kill. I mentioned that in half-kill there is no post and got berated by another player about it.
What am I missing?
