    razz aint that easy bro, its hard to find good razz players, that know how to slowplay a good hand, and get value from hands.

    Personally I think its unlikely that slowplaying will be a large part of an optimal strategy in this specific tournament (not that i can play razz well or anything but that would be my guess).

    i dont evne know what tournament you speak of, but when the blinds get high, and you start hammering with an 8 low youll get eaten alive by good players.

    oh i disagree 100000% and i think anyone who has played razz extensively will tell you it's very easy to learn how to play damn near perfect razz in a short amount of time.

    sure there are idiots, but they aren't good at any form of poker. in contrast, NLHE and PLO and other big bet games take a <span>lot</span> longer to learn how to play well. even LHE is much harder and the learning curve is very steep compared to razz, which is about as straight forward a form of poker you can find nowadays.

    sketchy, you may think you learned it in 30 seconds and that's is the simplest easiest form of poker, but believe me, don't let the limited experience you have with razz fool you into thinking it's a card catching game. It can become real complex when you start playing with tight players, loose, crazy aggro players, and learning how to deal with each. You also have metagame between players who have exp with each other. Sit in a 5/10 game, and go sit in 30 60, the play is a LOT differnet.

    LOL @ slowplay. The only thing even remotely close to a slowplay I'd pull in razz would be on 6th, if I have a guy boardlocked, I might give him a free card in hopes that he makes something that he'll pay off a river bet with.

    Bax did that with 7 card stud. He tried to repeat the trick with razz in 2005 and took 4th (playing pretty badly the whole way I might add). But he's Bax. There may be 10 other players with that kind of poker ability on this forum, none if which I have seen posting in this thread.

    razz is the easiest game ever, people who play it alot good for them but its really boring bc every play is so standard.

    maybe hes not very good(which seems hard to do) and maybe he got involved too much. maybe he payed off too much on the river.

    Please notify Bax of this, since he was in the FTOPS event last night and still plays horribly. GG to him for knocking me out tho.

    i got a sneakly lil trick for recruiting potential razz horses i'd like to invest in

    wat i do is i look at people stud poker db's then i find out who is down the most money in stud hi, then i contact them and put em in razz stuff, considfering they're so used to making crappy hands.

    This guy Camz thinks he is some razz super expert. I agree with Sketchy. Anyone who has played any Stud8 can learn razz in 5 minutes.

    and LOL LOL at the slow play comment

    I'm pretty sure sketchy knows that the cards you catch are only a part of poker.

    yes, my bad. The razz event was '06, and I think the stud bracelet he won was in '05.

    I play mostly Stud Hi, and a big part of that game is dead cards on 3rd. I know the good players can also remember dead cards easily, but Im wondering if a lot are playing hands that look playable, but actually have no good chance to improving. Just a thought.
