Checked Razz out on play money... not bad and quite different I do have to say. I'm mainly playing on Absolute right now and want to check it out in micro limit's but there is hardly anyone on in sng's and cash tables :( so I MIGHT have to check it out on another site.

razz players suck at really every level. There are some players who REALLY know how to play, but most of them flat out suck.

Just letting you all know, The Razz games on Vegas 24/7 are REALLY beatable, especially the .10/.25 ones.

This is either a bad joke or you posted the wrong hand. This hand has you folding on third street.

i have to agree with you on that one... Razz is by far the strongest of my games.. and by far i get people who call with K Q J up and its like wtf....

Thanks a lot for the advice Im currently 36 out of 330 I'll post when I bust out of this MTT Razz Tourney.

When playing a razz tourney, be sure to watch the patterns of other players to identify the ones that don't fold a draw. Some players will stay in to the river when they have 4 low cards even if they brick two cards or are drawing to a 9 or 10 low. Don't bet to bluff out these players if you have a bad card in the hole, and bet every street when it is obvious you will get paid off on your made low.

thats always good advice... My favorite thing about razz and 7card stud is the ability to change my style of play up almost every hand.. Keep everyone guessing.. i can go from crazy raisers to being able to trap someone the very next hand... From what i have noticed about the 2 games is sometimes checking is alot more profitable than betting... For instance... In razz ur showing an A 5 and with a 2 3 under... and the other person has 2 J... with such a powerful hand ill ussually check and let them percieve that i dont have it, now this always leaves an opportunity that ill get screwed or he will hit the nuts. but sometimes thats a chance worth taking rather than scooping a pot of just the blinds...
