i am only playing the razz event simon, it is nice to see that you are playing the event too. i am the only one coming out of the geldeston poker crew(cos i am the only one who knows how to play more than texas holdem) so it is nice to know that there will be a few familar faces around. im off to play my mates now and clean them out lol and see everyone who is playing this event and good luck to everyone in the mean time.
p.s what is the best book to buy on razz, im re-reading super system but it seems a bit short on some information.
see you on the 28th
IBangU:
For the real basics and some fundamental strategy there is a decent Razz section in Hellmuths book, Play Poker Like The Pros. As you would undoubtedly be beyond that, a much more advanced treatise is Sklansky on Poker which includes "Sklansky on Razz", a little tome that used to be published seperately before it went out of print. It"s extremely good, though it does assume most of your opponents will be playing sensible razz !! A much newer book has just hit the shelves, "Play Razz Poker to Win" by Mitchell Cogert, which has had mixed reviews to say the least eg :

Hope this helps

thank you for the info on what books on razz to freshen my skills on. i am not slating the poker bible for being low on information at all, it is just that razz was not as popular as deuce to seven and ace to five draw in 1977, just seems to me that there was not many charts and percentages as there was in the draw lowball chapter. Razz is not in super system 2 which is a shame because it is quite popular nowadays. i still recommend reading the bibles(old and new testaments) once in a while to keep some ideas fresh in your head and so we(like myself) dont play in auto pilot mode.
by the way, has anyone spotted that there is two ace of diamonds on the apat"s deck, there is on my deck on the screen.
good luck everyone and see u on the 28th

Hey, IBang--thanks for mentioning my book: "Play Razz Poker to Win" by Mitchell Cogert.
As to the mixed reviews...well, you can"t make everyone happy.
However, I believe my book will help beginning and intermediate level players improve their Razz game.
If you don"t believe me, well, PokerStars Intellipoker selected the book to educate poker players worldwide--and they happen to know Razz poker with the 2007 Razz WSOP winner on board.
Also, due to the demand, the High Stakes Bookstore in London now carries my Razz book.
Of course, I"m biased...
Good luck at the Razz event!
