Re: Razz -- worst hand wins on Absolute
To follow up, I finally played the $150K... and won! Well, I wish I did. I actually busted out early with AQ vs AK. I guess there's a reason I play mostly Razz.

Re: (razz) fold 7th?

Re: Razz -- worst hand wins on Absolute
Unfortunately, I may not be able to play this Saturday! I've replied and asked to be moved to 9/22. Although I have to wonder if I "unjoin" will I be credited with $530? I've asked that too -...

Re: Razz -- worst hand wins on Absolute
I just checked and the 150K tourney is a $500 entry! Not too shabby. I better get some NL practice in... Has anyone played in that particular tourney before?

I got another reply:

Re: Razz -- worst hand wins on Absolute
Since I'm relatively new to the forum, I thought I'd check out the faq... and what do you know, there is a link to "official" rules! My next message to them will likely include this link:

Re: Razz -- worst hand wins on Absolute
I don't know if that would help - maybe I'll try that next. I didn't really want to argue from authority--"everybody else plays Razz *this* way"--but thought it might add to the logical argument...

You're right. Then again, at this point I don't expect the support people to follow a logical argument. I truly hope they have poker experts available for these types of questions. Does Absolute...
