Razz resources?
 

I'm taking up more and more razz lately but can't find much in terms of free resources online. I've heard Sklansky on Hold'em has a decent razz section, and a friend suggested a Full Tilt book (which I don't see being too great), but haven't picked either up yet.

So can anybody link me to some articles/threads or even reply with some info?

One of the things I have most trouble with is the odds needed to continue in a hand...

"Sklanksy on Poker" has a razz section, just to clear that up.

Post a few hands where you are not sure if you have the odds to continue, and you'll get decent responses.

Just starting out, try Hellmuth's PPLP. The Razz section in the FT Strat Guide is a good little read, but aimed at tourny play. The "razz section" in Sklansky on Poker actually takes up over half the book and is the full text of a previous book now out-of-print titled, amazingly enough, Sklansky on Razz!

Google "Razz strategy" and you'll come up with some basic stuff. Your best bet: read this forum, search "razz" or just cruise through the posts with Razz in the title - almost every one is a hand history. By the time you've read, say, 20 of them, you'll probably have the basics.

Read SOP and this board. The former is like way cheap, and this is free.

Actually there are very few specific instances of pot odds discussed in SoP, especially if you want to play past 3rd st.

Yes, they are few, but key.

Well I'm sure it's worth reading, anyways. Thanks for the replies. I'll post an analysis thread when I come to an interesting hand.

Typical of Sklansky, the book only gives a few examples of odds when you have seen (x) number of cards and (y) of your cards have been exposed then your odds of catching are (z)%. From the examples given a student can extrapolate the odds given other situations. Sklansky wants his students to think about the game and do some independent work. If one is merely given a complete odds chart, they have learned nothing.
