Kill games are an impressive addition to the betting rules of common poker games. While playing the kill games, all features of the game remains same, except the increased betting limits during the kill rounds.  Above all, you must acquaint yourself with the type of poker game that you are playing and its rules.  Kill games are mostly used in Kill Game Poker and Omaha Hi/Lo or Omaha 8. Hence, you need to follow the basic strategy whatever poker variant you are playing. 

Keep an eye on your Opponents

There are two major types of players when we talk about kill games – the ones who play tighter throughout the kill rounds, and those who loosen up and endeavor to win big hands. Playing one of the two strategies again and again is quiet wrong, as you opponents will read you and adjust themselves duly.  

You should consider all of your opponents as two different players – the first during the normal rounds and the second for the duration of kill rounds. You will observe that during the kill rounds, many players will neatly fall into one of the two types mentioned above.

Use this information to your advantage, but never do the same for yourself. 

Basic poker strategy recommends doing the opposite of what your opponents are doing. So, if most players at the table are playing more tightly, use that knowledge to play aggressively and make them fold. If most players loosen up in the kill rounds, then make them pay while you holding a good hand.

Always Remember - Kill Games highlights the Winning Streaks

Since the only new aspect during a kill game is higher betting limits throughout the kill rounds, kill games emphasize on the so called winning streaks.  You must take advantage of this idea. Below is how:
Winning streaks don’t exist in real, and are normal gambler’s myth. All the players at table are just as likely to be dealt the winning hand for the duration of the next round, no matter what was the outcome of the earlier round. But it is the psychological aspect that makes poker so special. 

In kill games, you can pretend a winning streak, or make the most of your momentum at the table, making other players to fold – no matter what cards you're holding actually. If you can do that well, you should be playing kill games and highlighting your ‘winning streaks'.

As you've win two pots in a row, the limits are raised and most tight players will become even tighter. If you have got the kill button, this is the time to approach for the kill. While playing at a table that has the kill blind acting last during the first round, you need to make the most of your position, and play your hand as if you're in late position, no matter what your real position is. This means raising average raise/fold hands and making the most of your ‘streak' to daunt other players.
The other side of the coin is not to be panic by the kill blind. There is nothing like a winning streak, just people assume it. If you have a strong hand and a good reason to suppose that the killer is himself at risk, play your hand confidently and help stop his so-called winning streak.

The most significant thing to remember is that kill games have many variations, and can be played in several different ways. Always make sure that you are well-versed with the exact rules before you sit down at the table.
