Razz..Love it or Hate it?

Personally,i'm not a fan.

I do,however,like HORSE,so playing it is an inevitability,but ive developed an interesting strategy.When the Razz rolls around on the list,i milk every second of my play-clock.This has two advantages(at least for me).

1st-Since each round is 10 minutes,it means less hands of Razz ive gotta play if i use my allotted time just 'thinking'

2nd-Dragging my ass every hand or card can cause some less disciplined players to lose their cool ,& they then begin to play emotionally,AHAHAHAHAHAAA

...Luv to play Razz, it's my favorite poker game, I find it much easier to read opponents and also to judge the value and strength of the hands since some of the player cards are revealed for each hand played. Unfortunately Merge is the only gaming network I can play online poker these days because of access restrictions imposed by the state in which I reside.

So with no availability to any online Razz games, I have to settle for the closest thing to Razz that the merge network offers and that would be the lowball games 2-7 and A-5 games offered in the merge poker clients lobby. Those games offer very little opportunity to play since they are not favored among the poker members who are members there. Waiting to find a good game can take hours there...

I like the traditional lowball games,too.Theres just something about Razz...maybe its after getting A235 by 4th street & then catching enough bricks to build a chimney afterwards...i dunno

I'm also a big Razz fan . Since Razz is also included in H.O.R.S.E. and 8 Game , to be competitive in these games , you have to be able to play Razz & play it fairly well . But then again , I like the other traditional lowball games too , 2 - 7 Single draw , 2 - 7 Triple draw , and of course my favourite Badugi . I think learning and playing these games well , only makes you a better overall poker player . Good luck on the felts and with the lowball card games !

Razz cough cough YUCK IMO.......yet if need to say in a game of HORSE I tolerate it & survive generally, as long as I play the way my stud CZ taught me to play it, & until he taught me I constantly & totally BOMBED every time I had to play it! Once again CZ you are my hero!!! xoxoxox ........ Chelle

I enjoy Razz very much. Imho, all it takes is a little patience (but that's in every game, once again my opinion) and making sure you pay attention to cards that have been out/folded and knowing what cards may still come to improve your hand.

I like both razz and horse at least with horse if you get in a rut the game changes every ten minutes or so

I like razz but I can only take it in small doses like in HORSE or RASH. I have tried to play a whole tournament of it and it tends to tilt me.

I do not know play razz, I watched other players, I tried to play and still do not understand, I know the rules say so, who has the lowest card wins, A has a value of 1, but all lose when playing this type of poker probably need to gain more experience. Can anyone tell me which kind ptincipalele winning hands in poker?

I love horse, and razz is a fun game for me. Always interesting decisions in the game. Omaha is the toughest of the group, but fun.

I haven't tried it as a cash game or SNG,,, I like that stage of the game in HORSE. Seems I do better in the low and Hi/LO stages of HORSE. So I have some cash at Bovada just laying there so I might take a shot and see how it goes,, Later peeps

Love razz...So many players don't understand the game to the point that when in a h.o.r.s.e. trny they sit out the razz portion or play it so poorly they be gone soon from trny. I for one look forward to the razz segment and generally build my stack. The one thing I don't care for is that it's difficult to steal a pot when playing against players who don't understand the game.

Razz is def a fav of mine,cashed a few times,still find it strange playing a 10 dollar razz seeing a player call all the way to 7th street with a boat.
and i agree with sheepdog,the amount of times in horse you get playerswho aint got a clue how play razz.or they just raise and pray they catch runners or they have total trash and are koed pretty quickly.
