Kill
A kill, or kill blind, is an oversized blind, usually twice the big blind, which also doubles the betting limits. A half-kill raises the blind and limits by 50 percent. A kill can be voluntary or mandatory.
The simple explanation
In a kill game, a player who wins a pot may have to post a bigger blind in the next hand. The game then plays for higher stakes for that hand.
A closer look
A mandatory kill usually applies to a player who has won two pots in a row in lowball and other games, or who has scooped a pot in a high-low split game. A kill is a way to make the winner risk more and to raise the stakes of the game. Always ask the room how it applies the rule, because details differ.
A practical example
In a $2/$4 kill game, the winner of two pots in a row posts a $4 kill blind, and the limits for the next hand double.
