Razz heads up?

[ceegee]

I've read up a bunch on Razz in tournament play and 6 handed, but I'm lacking info on heads up play, and short handed play.
Does the idea that 8 low starting is still a good idea to start with, or do you want to risk a low showing with maybe a j in the hole with another low card, and hope to make a better hand? Some general tips would be helpful thanks =]

Heads up, as default, I will complete every time I have the low card.
At low limits very few people adjust enough to make this unprofitable.
If they reraise too often you may have fold some 2-brick hand and
also limp(-reraise) some strong 2-baby ones.

Also I will open complete some of my bring-ins - obviously most of
my 3 card 8s or better, limping some for variation, and a few other
cases just so it doent look like I always open-complete with strong hands.

If I limp the bring-in I will often call (and sometimes reraise)
if I have 2 good cards lower than opp if he completes,
and def if he is an "auto-completer" in this spot. After that you
have to see what you catch.

Short handed rather than heads up I am looking also to 2-card lows
rather than just low card showing and will slow down a bit on the
auto-completion with 1 good card showing and 2 bricks, but the amount
of time you get it folded round you can play it like heads up anyway.

I find 3/4 handed is quite fun but heads up can be a bit of a grind
on the whole.

3/4 rocks. They should make 5-max RAZZ tables.

If you only play good players. At low limits you can open complete with 8 high and a T76 or worse will call.

Do you see why open completing here would be a mistake?

[ceegee]

Because if you open complete the other person has a chance to raise the pot if they want to, as well as possibly catching the better hand if they catch a small and you hit a brick? especially with 10 7 6 to an 8 high?
