First Wsop, Razz!

[888Lives]

I won some extra pocket change at the slots, and decided to book a trip to Vegas in June. I am entering my first ever wsop tournament this June, going to play the $1500 razz tournament. I only ever played one other live tournament before. It was a holdem tournament, I folded my pocket kings preflop to a pocket queen shove (he showed after I mucked). I tilted and busted out shortly afterwards.

I have had some success with micro online tournaments (HORSE , HE, Razz). The thought of playing such a huge and high stakes tournament sure is daunting! I ordered Skalansky on Poker and also Play Razz to win, for some quick tips. Still waiting for these to be delivered.

Any tips on how to play live razz tournament poker? Also, any tips on how not to play so scared and not be bullied around?

I have never played live tournament poker but would love to have the experience

I've never played razz live, it sounds like a nightmare trying to keep track of the cards live,
Brunsons super systems 1&2 have some good chapters on most of the non holdem games,
as for not being bullied I would just consider that buyin gone, it's not but it will be if you worry about it,
just play your game, gl!

Thanks for the good luck! I’ll make sure to post an update later on.

I’m thinking of bringing a notepad to write down which cards are in play to keep track. Is this allowed? It sounds lame I know, just weighing all my options.
