Razz Beginners Guide

[kompressaur]

I've fell in love with this game. I played it a bit before as some of the threads in this forum will testify but it's only since giving up caring a shit a bout ths place that ihave been able to enjoy it properly. Friday night i had my first play money stt's and it made me want to play it in a 'proper' way. First mtt i am pleased to say went well.


Im The aadvark (wrongspelling, add your poker names here) Alli did was play any 3 cards 7 or under and iplyed them aggressively too. Pairs and high cards are killers - keep an eye on the board. thats all you seem to need to know from my dealings. anyhow i played that one and i won and i thought 'was it just beginners luck?' so i went to coutch (sofa?) happy for a change and i dreamt of the wsop 2010. I woke up just in time for a razz tournie on absolute Poker but that might have been due to me setting my alarm to get me up a kettle's breath away from the next razz tournie. man i was so looking forward to it. I soon reaised that if i didnt have 3 cards under 7 and just a good 'showing card' i could raise it v over showing cards and just play the flop. if it suited me then good and if not i woul put the breaks on when beat. From being a very simple game it took on a lot of 'levels' and things to think about. I was the longest clock timer in the place. they just raised or folded and i really finally had something to think about. In Holdem im a bit lostinmy reading but with razz i feel ive go a touch. anyhow this is the result of MTT no2


down to begin hilst i tried my new thoughts on the game etc. Brilliant game i love it. Just had an orgasm then when i went to Ful Tilt. what a fcuking razz emporium of joy and splendor. I cant wait to get my teeth into them

Im trying to sort the screncast videos out but them and beer dont mix. Ive nearly just pissed all over my computer in answer to the problems ive just been having. I think tha they will look good. POSITION is most important in razz. If your middle to late raise it up there with even a K and a pair in the hole if youve a lesser showing card to the ones on show (well thats what ive found. any razz expert out there? dont get me wrong if there is yu'll soon comment on my vids.

If your in the Uk you can find online razz tournaments at-

Absolute Poker
4:45am
(and 1:45am i think - need to double check that)

Fulll Tilt (where i havent played but they say its got the softest razz opponents due to the RAZZ button being on the front slap bang slight right of centre of their software and encouraging folks with no razz startegy at all)

I wil turn this into data at a later date (ah)

I'll get some good videos in here when i can. My mic doesnt seem to be working. I need to comment live really. I'll try some with no sound. supposed to be in my bed about 17hrs ago I stayed up. I can't afford to stay up it would seem these days. I managed to lose 90% of my bankroll in the last 17hrs played like a cnut. Taking too much in and trying to be fancy. check raising with fcuk all and trying to boss the tables. Razz has made me ultra aggressive on the holdem tables ive found. I dont know how to harness it. Im finding im trying to squeeze every inch of value out of every single hand and i dont think i know holdem well enough to get away with it. Its all lessons to be learnt though. Anyhow this aint about holdem its about Razz. Im only up as the next razz mtt is in 15 minutes I got drunk hours ago but i stayed up for it. I dont care if im tired and i dont care if ive spent everything ive won the last 2 days. im for a razz mtt and thats all that matters. Im on absolute poker for now btw. I had to laugh earlier. 3 of my ex women women on bebo and the like are all into 'beat domestic violence' groups. all 3 of them kicked fcuk out of me for months before i decided to slap them. Nah it was never a slap. Just a wee punch in the guts to calm them down. we're all as mad as each other.
