Razz resources

Bona · #1 07-01-2007, 06:52 PM

I have always enjoyed playing some variations of low poker in home games and very recently became more interested because of playing some HORSE. ( I play a lot of hold 'em at micro stakes) I have a few questions and I assume there are some experienced and knowledgable razz players in this forum so here goes and answer what you want or not if you find my questions too underinformed.

1) If you were starting out with the goal of learning to play razz well at low stakes. What resources would you use. What books? I assume you would use this forum because I see a few references to razz but I can't seem to find any basic, beginner type information like starting hands, drwing odds, etc. Anything else you would recommend?

2) Is 2-7 played more than razz? If so/or not why do you think?

3) I found razz in low level stakes on FT is it played anywhere else?

4) Do you know of any "benchmark" standards to check my results against? I expect to track hands played, VPIP, win/loose rate in BB per 100 hands, % see showdon, win %at showdown. Any thing else useful and do you know any way to track other than writing down results of each session in an excel file?

My apologies for my low level of competence but I have to start somewhere and this is where I am [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Fult Tilt Poker Strategy Guide Tournament Edition book is needed for tournament Razz.

Sklansky On Poker contains everything about cash game Razz.

ProPokerTools Razz simulator is very helpful.

Have a look back in this forum for Razz posts.
Search "+Razz -Re:" in the stud forum for the last
6 months. There have been loads of low stakes hand
discussions.

As already pointed out, not exactly the right forum, but here are some answers nonetheless.

ad 1) The SS1 chapter and Sklansky on Razz are the two things I've read and I think both of them are well worth reading.

ad 3) PS has it.

ad 4) Poker Tracker Stud supports Razz.
