I figured with as many people out there as it who play poker hoping to get lucky, there would be more razzers. Most amatuer holdem players are HORRIBLE and rely completely on the luck of the draw. As you all know razz is a drawing game and the average amatuer should love it.

Razz is a much more difficult game for people to be successful at on a consistent basis. Just because it's a drawing game, doesn't mean it's any less complicated. I'd say the stategies required take much longer to learn and master than hold'em. How to maximize profits, extricate bets, value hand strengths,etc, while remembering burned cards and player styles can take quite a bit of practice.

You mean

A-2-6-4-K-K-J vs Q-J-T-9-8-7-6 With the Q-J-T-9 showing of course.

Razz is a mathmatical game and you gotta know what's on the board and what cards are live, but yeah, it kinds sucks noodles watching your 4 card Wheel on 4th go up in flames against Jack Low.

If you start playing razz thinking its a luck game and don't take it serious, you will find yourself loosing a lot of money real fast. A lot faster than you will at hold'em.

Because the better players will win the money too fast. Then all thats left are unwinnable tight games. Your loss variance in razz should be very tiny while your win upside huge. To astute and good players, the game almost plays like all the cards are face up. You either love the game and learn it, then play it when opportunity dictates, or you love the game and go broke Razz has few in between players to keep it populated.

I've had QQQ - it does suck.

When I got it, I thought "Hell yes, this is VERY playable."

3 seconds later, on 4th Street, when a 2 came: "Oh, damn! I'm playing Razz."
