Kill Stakes
When the full kill is active, the stakes of the game are doubled such that the kill blind becomes the minimum bet for the opening round. For example, if a game has limits of $20/$40 and a full kill blind is posted for a hand, the betting limits for that hand are doubled to $40/$80. A pot built from this betting structure is known as a kill pot.

Famous quotes containing the words kill and/or stakes:

“Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
