scottyno 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 so a pair beats 3 of a kind? just compeltely opposite hand rankin?1 pair doesnt play in razz, if you have AA789TJ your hand would be A789T. If you have 3 pair or trips or something where you dont even have a 5 card low hand you arent going to be staying in to 7th anyway so it doesnt really matter. Link to post Share on other sites
sdnuol 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 so a pair beats 3 of a kind? just compeltely opposite hand rankin?exactly but i advise not playing a pair. you want to start with three cards 8 or lower, some may say 9 or lower. best possible starting hand is a23.when in a 5-7 handed game i wouldnt play anything higher than a t or j low to the river dependign on what your opponet is showingwhat does that mean??it means something unintelligent that has nothing to do with your thread and in some way probably flames you, but it doesnt work well if you dont know what it means so just ignore it and for the most part anything else that looks like YSALKY Link to post Share on other sites
nosoul 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 so a pair beats 3 of a kind? just compeltely opposite hand rankin?Yes. And aces are always low, so a pair of aces is the lowest pair. It's also important to note that the high card hands are from the top down. So the best hand is really 5-4-3-2-A. So 10-4-3-2-A loses to 9-8-7-6-5 because high card 9 is lower than high card 10.You usually only have to play a pair if you get 3 pair in your hand. If you hold A-A-3-6-7-9-9, your actual hand is 9-7-6-3-A. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I played a bit of low limit Razz on FTP and it seems like by far an "easier" game than stud, HE, Omaha, etc because you always know what you're drawing to. It's much more common to be drawing to the nuts and with a 7 low you can be pretty confident that you're going to be ahead. Link to post Share on other sites
cap gusto 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 just an awesome game in general. someone said only start with 8 or lower but I think that should be revised to an 8 or 9 low on 5th street if you have a smooth draw. say you have (A2) 5 9 4. Your 9 low is probably behind but you are drawing smooth. Obviously depends on opponents up cards and folded cards. Link to post Share on other sites

cap gusto 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 true. i missed some of what you wrote. my bad.in my hand example I meant it to be (A2) 9 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 same thingNah. I try to avoid insulting people personally.I just really think his thread topics suck and his threads suck.what does that mean??muzza, I mean this as constructive criticism...in the future, please show a little initiative in coming up with more descriptive titles and avoiding easily searched question. "How to play Razz" fits into something that Google can tell you immediately. Link to post Share on other sites

cap gusto 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 i'm going to go with sdnoul on this being better than the chimp but I still love the lawsuit.anyway back to razz... Link to post Share on other sites
Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have no idea how to play razz, but apparently there is a strategy section in this forum, with a section entirely devoted to 7 card stud games. Link to post Share on other sites
