kill button?

I recently was looking at a hold em button set on some poker site. I saw one of the buttons said 'kill' on it. Can anyone tell me how this is used?

Generally in a kill game, after a player wins consecutive pots, he'll also win the kill button and have to place a blind bet equal to 2x the BB. I'm pretty sure the small and big bets are also doubled for that hand. I only played a kill game a couple of times on UB, so I'm sure the rules can vary wildly.

correct. if a player wins 2 pots in a row the game then becomes a kill pot UNTIL someone else wins the pot. the stakes are doubled AND the winner also posts a big blind. a 3/6 game would then be 6/12 untill someone else wins a pot.

There are also half kill and full kill games. A half kill means that the killer has to post 1.5x the BB and a full would be 2xBB like mentioned before.
