Razz Tips

Hi, I'm playing in the Razz ftop tomorrow,
could I get some Razz tips from anyone offerring to give them?
Thanks.

Any tips. Please.
I'm good at Razz but even still... I'm sure there's some golden advice out there.

Really no responses? Well, its too late for me to give advice for the FTOPS event, which I completely forgot about . But just remember basic stuff, like completing the bring in when you have a low card showing regardless of the other two, especially when in position. If you are directly to the right of the bring in with a low card showing and the guy to your right completes with a low card, chances are if you raise, and bet the next street, he'll give it up. Remember, you are playing deeper stacks here, so you have to take these opportunities.

i totally love razz it's definatly my favorite kinda poker out of any other
kind. can be quite frustrating at times tho but so much fun.

Razz is my top game, beautiful game. ALTHOUGH, i'd have to disagree with the raising when showing a strong hand when having bad cards. This might work on some tables, but in tournament, I think playing strict, very tight razz is the way to go. I personally will play 8 low start hands, calling, 6-7 low starting hands, one raise, and good 6 lows and wheel starting hands, caping to max Any card 9 or higher, I generally fold. This is all on a full table in tournament settings though. There are many times when you can bluff also. Example, you have KQ4, with the 4 showing. You're dealer position. Everyone folds to you, and small and big blind are showing 10 and J. This is an easy pot to steal (and in razz, stealing pots is important, because everyone has an anti in). So just max it, and they should fold. If they call, and you get a followup good card and they a mediocre, just bluff them again. Anyway, I'd recommend playing a tight, very picky game until you really get the hang of the game. Then you can start experimenting a bit more. IN razz, I find it to be very valuable also on table games, to build up a tight table image. That way, you can set up some anti steals when the situations are right, and won't be called off by people thinking you're bluffing.

Call raises with smooh 8's (aka 238) or better. 876 is not a smooth 8. When you catch bad on 4th, and your opponent catches good, fold.

Razz is a real gamble, make sure u open with a raise and three low cards, push hard and give up when ur beat. if ur ahead on the board bet and raise until ur behind on the board. Gl and razz those mfs.

Are there any good books on razz. I need help.

You will do well if you follow this simple strategy and do not get greedy. 3 cards 7 and under call, if not do not call. if you get a 10 or over on your next card fold unless your opponents got something worse. keep following this and you should do fine. but do not be greedy

I think it is quite important to know when to raise. You can't just call a good hand like 2-3-7 if everyone is showing 8's, 7s, and no lower. Here, you should definitely complete. When you don't complete these hands, you let them catch, and you miss. For example, if an 6 that's hiding ace-J called (and this will happen a lot in micro stakes), and he catches a 3, and you catch a 10, he could easily bluff you off right there, granted he's showing a monster. When you raise, you make the people who are begging to limp, fold. And when they do call, you're just getting your money in smartly, and will most likely take more. You have all the odds in the world to raise when you have the best hand. Just calling is like calling with pocket aces on the button. You just don't do that.

Hmm, I never used to make much of a distinction between a 8 7 2 hand and a 8 7 6 hand. Ill give that some thought.
