At 4-8 limit, then, if you raise OTB w/ that hand (having won the prior hand) you're looking at a potential $4 drop and $8 blind post. I don't think it's a good idea to raise the K-10o in that spot but if you do I won't argue w/ you.
Cliffs: I think that having to potentially post a kill is a significant factor in determining the play of your next hand.
I think either there would be not be enough money in the pot to qualify for a kill, i.e. the blinds fold. Or you would get enough action to make it worth your while. But maybe I am mistaken. If there is a $4 drop then there was at least $40 in the pot at most half was put in by you. So that is at least a $16 profit if you win. If your not ahead, then I doubt that you would have got the that far. You would have folded to a raise on the flop. And so lost $8. So you lost a button raise. But folded to you with the blinds to act and a hand in the top 50% its a no-brainer raise. Its very likely that you raise and they will fold, and there would be only a $2 drop.
BTW in the Orleans 6 years ago having finished 16-th out of 120 at the Wednesday night tournament and just out of the money. I sat down at a 4/8 Limit Hold 'em with a kill. I then won 6 kill pots in a row. Recovered my tournament buy-in and took a little profit. Was exhausted and left.
