Hi again!

I received my 7stud hi bible (sklansky on 7 card stud) a few days ago and its great. However, as I feared, there is absolutely nothign about Razz.

Are there any must have books about razz?

Cheers!

I think the lack of books is due to that Razz is a particulary stupid game, there isnt really all that much strategy to discuss. However the game is still profitable by taking advantage of the common mistakes bad players making all the time. Just avoiding these mistakes (playing bad starting hands, going too far with weak hands) you are playing close to optimal already.


Just after seeing fish splashing chips in stud on absolutely hopeless hands, I recon razz has even more bad players=))

Where can I read what hand would be good and what would be bad etc. any articles?

Cheers!


Razz has many bad players, but worse is starting with a great hand then watching it slip away from 5th to 7th. :f_cry:

Hopefully I can post this without any problems:
www.7cardstudstrategy.com
Has a nice section on Razz. Left hand side.


Thanks. will have a look at this site.

You should google listening's posts/website on razz. I think he is best author on the subject I've ever found anywhere else.

There is about 7 pages on Razz in the original Super System. It comes at the end of the Stud Low chapter.


In Sklansky's book "Sklansky on Poker" there's a compilation of small books, one of which is titled "Sklansky on Razz". This is an old book that is out of print but can still be found. It is the most conclusive book currently out on Razz. Listening's posts are a good starting point as well, though her info isn't perfect, but neither is Sklansky's for that matter. I had plans to write a current book with another top Razz player to cover today's game, but I don't see myself writing it realistically. I will however be going into depth in my future videos here at PokerStrategy.com.

I'm very much looking forward to it! I think the stud games (and draw games) are very neglected here in PS, and I was very happy when I got to know that the English community will have a coach/video maker!

Hi there!

First of all I would like to thank RainmanTrail for his video.
Now I'm again working on Razz :f_biggrin: and waiting for the next videos to see.

Listening (she removed her 2+2 articles quite a while ago) announced her book to be released this fall and I'm also really looking forward to it!
