Razz - really dead 543
 

Unknown villain, HORSE game...

Should I fold this hand with the dead aces and deuce? I just cannot bring myself to do it. Is the continued calldown bad too?

This all looks good to me.

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

I play it the same... I like just calling on 3rd because I don't think you want play this for 2 bets with all the dead cards.

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

played fine until 5th street imo.....i think i fold when the 7 rolls off for both of us

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

Why?

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

I think it's a fine hand. You got in pretty cheap, made as much as you reasonably could. NH, Sir.

WARNING: n00b question

new to Razz.

Why are we not raising "pre"? Is it because there are visibly 3 Aces out of the deck, or is it just not a raising hand in general?

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

I'm 50/50 on 3rd about completing or folding. I hate just calling.

You should raise 4th/5th.

Re: Razz - really dead 543
 

100% properly played *after 3rd* in my book. You shoulda folded on 3rd tho... You have AAA2348 and AAA4 which are critical outs are all dead so your scoop chances are taking it right in the pooper. I normally don't give advice because I want to keep people as retarded possible in this game, but I'm drunk as hell right now.... So F*** it...

On 5th, even if he has AA you are no long a /prohibitive/ favorite. I would actually check raise and see what he does. A lot of idiots will still bet naked AA here because they are total idiots, but I raise because 1.) he might fold 2.) if you two pair, you're most likely ahead 3.) If you low, you gotta lock. You have a 2 way hand, he doesn't. Its key to agress pots when you have two way hands against unidirectional ones. You may be behind at the moment, but you give yourself a chance to take it down and have an A$$tone of outs...

We don't raise third because several cards we need are dead. I do think that raising would be OK, though.
