I hope the fact the history is in italian isn't a problem... For if it's difficult to understand: punta = bets, vede = calls, passa = folds.

In Hand 1 villain is obviously a calling station and often plays marginal hands. That's about the 8th hand i was dealt and the first one I played. About the Hands 2 and 3 I don't remember how my opponents were playing.

Just please if there are some major mistakes don't be rude, if I were a very good player I would be playing $50/$100, if in the last 4 days I'm a losing player at these stakes obviously either I'm a donk or I'm on tilt (a combination of both could be possible, too).

+1. There are some things you could have done better, but at this limit you will be way better than most.

First hand, I would play the same.

Second hand, rough beat but since you re-raised on 6th, go ahead and lead out on 7th as if you liked your last card. He'll probably call but at least give him a chance to lay down his 97. If he folds one time in ten your bet here makes money.

On the third hand, go ahead and re-raise on 3rd street. On 5th, once you check, go ahead and check raise on 5th once tlpel decides to call. If you bet and lazy leon raises, he'll fold. But as played, let him build the pot a little at a time to stick around with his T9. The hand is between you and leon, let Tlpel add some extra equity in there for you before he realizes how dead he is.

Minor differences, I'd say your play was fine and nothing you may have done differently would likely have changed the result... I'd have lost an extra $1 or so the way that I'd have played unless he folded the second hand. Smile

Good post. I notice that your location isn't far from me. Do you know of any live games in the area that include razz?

No, I've never seen a live Razz game myself, except on TV. I saw a SHOE game spread while in Vegas, I was drunk, don't even remember where I was at the time. But I remember being upset since I don't like SHOE, my favorite (and most profitable) part of HORSE comes from playing Razz against people who don't usually play it. Obviously at a Razz only table, the people who sit down should have more of an idea, though the games are still beatable.

As for a live game, I can't think of a better game to play live against people who are looking to gamble. I was I'll be sure to post it if I ever find one anywhere in AC.

Sadly, it is illegal in AC, and rarely ever spread on its own in a casino elsewhere. We include it as part of a rotation in my home game sometimes, but otherwise FT-P is the place to play.
