Razz isn’t a very popular game because it’s extremely tilting first of all and edges tend to be minute.

Granted if you turn up to the series for a razz event there’s quite a lot of interest

I like it, but you can hardly find a game... seems to be an acquired taste.

Back in the old days when you played poker during a party, dealers choice, mine was 5-draw lowball. We almost always were playing with the same deck that someone's little sister played Fish with. I played it because nobody could wrap their brains around the game. Usually we were on the second keg when I chose it too! :D

Razz is hard to find. More than likely you will play it in a HORSE tournament. In that case, getting the basics down would be beneficial.

I play Razz whenever possible, but as mentioned above its difficult to find games. Was in a home game this weekend "dealers choice" and I had to explain the rules to everyone all 45+ of age but none had played it before...

Yep .. I love Razz and Ace to 5 Lowball .. 5Card draw too but you can't find any of those in local Brick and Mortar here and it's almost as hard to find online ....Not really a big fan of the mixed games ... Hose or Horse ... don't hate them just never played them ... only really ever play 7 Stud in a monthly private game here ....but I understand if you can't even come close to filling a table .... for now the only games anyone seems to call poker sadly are Holdem or Omaha ... that's a shame .....

I am not surprised as all players are concentrated on HOLDEM and some of them on OMAHA, the RAZZ game is so exciting version of Poker - one of my favorites, so I do not miss any CC Event involving it :top:

Sorry for the spam. I am searching for a poker game with less variance than holdem. Is razz better than holdem in the variance factor?

If you're really bad at playing poker, you should do well in razz....its basically trying to get garbage cards as much as possible , The wheel (A,2,3,4,5) is the lowest hand you can get, just simply LOWBALL

I've always wanted to try and learn RAZZ when I'd play pokerstars 8-Games back in the day but I could never quite figure it out.
