Default Re: Razz - playing the smooth hand

I do not like third street AT ALL. Hands like 567 vs 8A2 - the 8A2 usually becomes a favourite over 567 in a multiway pot even though is an underdog heads up. I don't mind the original raise but with this ante structure, I would of leaned more towards limping and calling.

Fourth street is a call because of all the bets that went in on third. However you would still call but it would be more marginal if you had played the hand rationally at third.

Fifth street is bad. The action on third suggests even a poor player would have a good starting hand. There are two 2s out and also two 8s out - meaning that he is extremely unlikely to be paired and your now pumping the pot with the worst of it.

6th street, you get a lucky break and you improve and he finds the last eight to pair his hand. Your now favourite, so betting is correct.

7th - you don't improve, perhaps he has but he's going to call with the 8 lo anyways for the reduced price of 60c so the bet is correct.
