Razz and skill

I'm sure there's tons of skill involved.


You just suck at it.



P.S.

I suck at it too.

That's a little harsh, though it seems you were saying it in good fun. Any game where there are decisions to make has a skill element if some of those decisions are better than others (i.e. win more $, or lose less). Of course, there are varying degrees of skill. Tic-tac-toe is a skill game to a 6-year old, but I assume all readers of this forum have mastered it by now. The thing about razz is, far more players play it like it's tic-tac-toe and if everyone at the table does it then skill doesn't win out because everyone is playing at the same level. You don't even have to be a great player, just a good player, to start crushing tables like this.
