Question 6: What are the important rules that I must follow while practising a ‘kill’?

A: The most important things that you should keep in mind at the time of practising ‘kill’ in Hold’em poker are:
1) If you're in a poker game where winning two consecutive pots creates the kill, you have a slightly decreased incentive to enter the second pot, because you would rather not post the kill blind.
2) For some reason, in online poker, more players tend to enter the pot on the higher-stakes hand, probably because they figure that there is a chance to get even. If you observe this to be the case in your poker game, you should probably favor hands that play better against multiple opponents.
3) Because the sequence of when you get to bet or raise isn't universal, if you sit down in a kill game, it's a good idea to ask how the kill-poster bets. Don't worry if this makes you "seem like a rookie." It might cause other players to underestimate your overall skill, and more importantly, you won't be putting money into a pot when you're not quite sure where a raise might be coming from.
