Jon, will you be at the UK event in Manchester ?

Perhaps you could give a master-class once some of us have been eliminated, say about 3:30pm that Saturday afternoon....?  :D

In all seriousness, I wouldn"t mind having a go at the game. Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to play this variation of the game.

Effectively that means that the 5th lowest card you have decides who wins.
e.g. A2349 loses to 45678 A mistake that some beginners make is to look at their lowest cards, but they"re no good if the last card in your hand is too high.

The easiest way to look at a razz hand is from the 5th highest down..so in your example 94321 loses to 87654 (the lower number).

Also there is no 8 or better limit as in stud..

It does sometimes get complicated with paired hands.. clarification on how to rank those would be appreciated (I do know a "full house" is bad).

Razz is ultimately a game to destroy the soul but is great as part of a HORSE game especially when someone doesnt notice it has moved to Stud Hi  ::)

It"s always the lowest hand wins - but if you have anything over Ace high then fold, unless you really have no choice (like you"ll only be left with less than an ante for example). Even then it"s irrelevant because you have to call with whatever you have and just hope that your opponent"s have hit really bad luck.

This reminds me of an amusing experience in a razz tourney on stars.

I busted a guy with our hands similar to the 2 described above.

He went mental in the chat box, told me the site was broken. He had contacted customer support and was going to get the tourney stopped/his buyin back.

He justified it by saying that my hand added up to 30 and his added up to 19 so clearly had to be the winner.

In fact he was berating me and the whole table all the way to the final table, (i turned the chat off for a good hour and he was still there when i turned it back on to say gg to a player who had busted out) It was only a $8 tourney ffs.

I love playing Razz but its frustrating as no one except APAT and WSOP arrange live games. A couple of months back I asked one of the management of Planet Hollywood in Vegas why none of the casinos over there offered Razz and the reply was that there is no profit in it for them. Maybe if we started a petitition, we could change things ;D
