Default Re: Razz with Queen\'s wild (lc)

Yeah, it was obvious he thought it was a high game and (probably) that his queen really was wild. I didn't say anything else during the hand, but immediately after I did tell him razz is a lowball game. He didn't seem to care all the much -- sat with $50, lost it all in about an hour, chatted quite a bit and said "Thanks for the lesson" to the table when he busted. I mean, this is 1-2, not $5-10. It's interesting, I've actually written about angleshooting, and am pretty strict on it, but coffeehousing really doesn't bother me. It's pretty obvious in a game of decption that you can't believe your opponent about what he has, or the rules of the game, or pretty much anything during a hand. Now at showdown, in a live game, I think it's absolutely an angle to deliberately miscall your hand or say "you win" to try to get an opponent to muck. But even there, it's still on opponent to hold his cards until he actually sees he is beat.
