Is it ever proper to call 3rd street with a pair in Razz?
Twice tonight I had pocket As with a deuce up on 3rd street.
First time I raised to steal and took the pot on 5th due to a scary board (A A) 2 4 8 Second time someone raised in front of me and I decided to just fold instead of going for a resteal representing a big hand. I guess the question could be expanded to any A2x hand where x is any face card or A. What do you do with hands like A2K? |

Fold. You really need three cards to play for value. I'll snow with rolled aces, but that's only once every 5000 hands or so.

I think you just answered your own question. In some situations, yes - especially in steal situations or if hands behind you are bad, e.g., 9 s or bigger(assuming that you raise).

To answer the original question:
No, don't call with a pair ever. You either raise to steal with a low doorcard or fold (much more likely). There may be some exceptions, but they are probably very rare and situational. |
