I had:

A, 2, 4, 6, 7

Winning Opponent had:

2, 3, 4, 5, 7

Why did my hand lose?

Was an important tourny to me, losing it probably cost me.

Please let me know if I am wrong, and why his hand wins over mine..

In razz, it can be a good idea to reverse the order. IE:

You had: 7, 6, 4, 2, A

He had: 7, 5, 4, 3, 2

I still don't get it..

The overall number count for me is 20

He has 21...

I still have the lower run, even if I reverse it, I have an Ace, lowest card.

overall number????

the lowest hand counts. you don't add the numbers.

in order to understand the lowest hand, start with your highest card.
you have a 7, your opponent also. so here no point to each
then you have a 6 and your opponent has a 5. his hand is lower

Oh ok, thanks.

So if I have

9, 8, 3, 2, A

And he has:

9, 6, 5, 4, 3

He wins because after 9, he has a 6 vs my 8? ; and the hand is over?

OK.... apparently the rules change in RAZZ when the best hand that either player can make is a pair.....

Here is the final board....

Opponent: 4,7,4,7,A,A,K

My Hand: 5,2,9,A,9,2,5

I would have liked to have this hand to be judged as follows:

Opponent: K,7,4,A

My Hand : 9,5,2,A

However, Full Tilt awarded the pot to my Opponent as follows:

Seat 1: HERO showed [5h 2s 9c Ad 9s 2d 5c] and lost with a pair of Twos
Seat 2: VILLAIN showed [4h 7s 4d 7c Ac As Kc] and won (990) with a pair of Aces

AA,44,77
vs.
22,55,99

Has anyone ever seen this before????

An Ace is low in Razz, so AA is the smallest pair possible.
