[ba-poker] Analysis of half-kill games?

[Michael Zimmers <mzimmers(deleted the rest)>]

Hi, all –

I've started playing again (a little) after a pretty lengthy time off. 
The word around the cardroom is that the current action game is the 
8-16 with a half-kill. I'm reluctant to jump in, though, before I have 
some idea of what to expect. Given that I'm a relatively tight player, 
isn't playing in a half-kill game going to be pretty much like giving 
the dealer a huge tip every time I win a pot? And are there any 
analyses on how best to deal with the kill, both playing your "blind" 
hand and attacking someone else's kill?

Thanks...
