Ok, I've seen an a-9 lose to a 2-7, so I'm wondering what determines the winner exactly. Do you count up the cards and see who's lowest? Is it the 7 that won over the 9, and not the A over the 2? Is it a combination? I'm confused.

I've been playing some limit razz, I find the game fun to bluff in. I seem to be more successful in it than hold em tournaments lately, but I've been donking around in hold em lately too.

Pick the 5 lowest cards, then start with the highest card and work down. 7 low beats 9 low even if it's 9 4 3 2 A vs 7 6 5 4 2.

A2349 loses to 45678.

Look at it as a 9432A vs a 87654, where 8 is lower than 9.

Ok so I'm always looking for the lowest 5th card? That makes it easier.

Yea, Razz is tricky when you start playing it. Once you start playing it and becoming a better player, it gets much more fun. Laughing

I love having crappy cards showing when my hidden cards give me the nuts, easy to put money in the pot then.

LOL yeah I almost had a royal flush showing once. Everyone kept checking so I couldn't just fold Laughing

Ok, I lost a hand and don't understand why, please explain it to me.

I had 8,7,3,2,A, he had 8,6,4,3,2

After the 8, does it go to the next card? His 6 beats my 7... that's what I thought. I steadily lost my stack after this one Sad

yup. 8 ties 8. 6 beats 7. and as long as he has 3 more unpaired cards lower than that, hes good to go.
