Razz - What Makes it Unique

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

As with every other poker variation, Razz has its share of quirks and idiosyncrasies. But there is one feature of Razz that sets it apart from all other forms of poker, and that is: it is the only poker game where a player frequently finds himself in a spot where he knows, with 100% certainty, that he currently has the best hand.

Why Learn Razz?

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

This is a question I find myself being asked from time to time. Why should I learn to play razz? Does anyone even play that game anymore? Now it’s true that as variations of poker go razz doesn’t even appear on the radar of many serious players. Indeed, you could probably go your entire life without playing a single hand and still have a very successful career at the poker tables. But that is not to say that the game isn’t worth learning.

Razz - Two Critical Concepts

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

As we’ve seen in the other articles in this series, razz is not a particularly complicated game. It does have its nuances, to be sure, especially on the later streets, but it pales to either Hold'em or 7 stud in terms of sheer complexity.

Razz - Starting Hand Guide

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Devising a ‘cookbook’ approach to starting hand selection in razz is nearly impossible, since the value of almost any hand in razz is situation dependant. In a game like Hold‘em, by contrast, I can tell you that big pairs and big suited hands should basically never be folded, and that the value of every other hands is essentially a function of your position and the number of players who will be contesting the pot.

Razz - Stealing the Antes

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Stealing the antes (or blinds, as the case may be) is a critical component of any winning player’s game. But in razz stealing the antes assumes an entirely new dimension of importance. The fact that that razz is a ‘board game’, where each player often has a fair idea as to the relative strength of their opponent’s hand, means that ante stealing opportunities appear fairly frequently.

Razz - Defending Against the Ante Steal

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Virtually all razz players defend their bring in against an ante steal far too often. If you were forced to bring it in with a ten or higher, and someone in late position makes a play for the antes, your best move is almost always to fold.

Razz - Fourth Street Concepts

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

As with straight seven card stud for high, fourth street in razz generally ‘plays itself’. There are, however, a couple key mistakes which aspiring players routinely make, and we will focus on those mistakes here.

Razz - Fifth Street Play

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

It is on fifth street that razz begins to resemble ‘real poker’. Up until this point most decisions are fairly automatic. If you had a decent three card hand on third street you called (or raised), and if you caught good on fourth you likely bet again. On fifth, however, the play of the hand begins to get complicated. This is because a mediocre made hand (like a rough nine) is actually a dog to a great draw, like a five cards to a wheel or four cards to a smooth six.

Razz - Sixth Street

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

One similarity between razz and seven card stud for high is that neither game features much strategy on sixth street. In razz, like seven card stud, if you’ve come this far you will almost always be going to seventh street. Folding on sixth is rarely correct in razz.

Razz - Seventh Street

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

There are two different ways to approach writing this article. The first would be to assume that you are generally playing against opponents who know what they’re doing; the second would be to assume that most of your opponents are fairly weak players. Since you will probably find yourself playing against far more bad players then good players we will approach this article from the second perspective.

Chinese Poker - An Overview

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Chinese poker has long been a popular game amongst low rolling poker pros. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that it was a featured event in the 1995 World Series of Poker. Poker professional Barry Greenstein is reported to have lost upwards of $1.5 million dollars to Ted Forrest in a Chinese poker game that spanned several months, and other poker pros (including Phil Hellmuth) are rumored to have absorbed six figure losses while playing this game with other professionals.

Chinese Poker - Some Common Variations

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

There are some common variations of Chinese poker, and most of these variations have to do with either the scoring system or the recognition of ‘clean sweeps’, which are hands that are automatically declared winners before they are even set. Let’s take a look at how these different variations are used.

Pai Gow Poker - Understanding the Basics

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Pai Gow poker is a popular game in land based casinos, and most online casinos offer some version of it to their players. At its core Pai Gow is a simple game, and the relatively small house edge and slow pace of play makes it a great game for anyone looking to unwind and relax. While various casinos may offer their own personal ‘wrinkles’ to the game, it is essentially played as follows.

Pai Gow - Strategic Guidelines

05 Dec 2007 00:00 AM

Pai Gow is not a game that features many complicated strategies. Common sense guides much of the play, and once you’ve played a few rounds you should have a pretty good feel for how to set your hands. Tricky situations do occasionally arise, however, and a smart player should be prepared for them.

No Limit Hold ’em - Tells to Look for

08 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

Let me start off by saying that I’m not a big believer in the power of tells. This is probably due to two factors. First, I am predominantly a limit betting poker player, and in limit games picking up tells just isn’t very important. Secondly, I fully subscribe to the notion that most poker players approach the game according to set patterns and habits, and that if you can trouble yourself to learn which particular patterns and habits a player has fallen into you have gained far more useful information then you ever will by trying to pick up tells.

No Limit Hold ’em - The Hit and Go Strategy

08 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

What we’re going to look here is a strategy called ‘hit and go’, which many decent-but-not-great players employ in both online card rooms and in locales where there are plenty of live casino games (like Las Vegas). For reasons you will see shortly, this strategy is best applied when there is an abundance of poker rooms to choose from, and in games where the minimum buy-in is fairly low. It’s not the sexiest strategy out there, but what it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in effectiveness - especially for new players, or for players who, for whatever reason, have never grasped the nuances of playing the turn and river in no limit poker

No Limit Hold ’em - The Hit and Go Strategy - Some Refinements

08 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

In an earlier article we looked at what I call the ‘hit and go’ strategy for no limit hold em, which is, in my opinion, the optimal strategy for either new or struggling players to employ at the no limit tables. While the strategy we laid out in the first article will often be enough for you to get the money, there are some refinements you can make that will make it even more effective

What you really want is a quick and painless guide to hand selection—nothing more. Can I, your humble and loyal advisor on all things poker, give this to you?

Limit Hold ’em - An Introduction to Pot Odds

08 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

Put in the simplest terms possible, pot odds refers to the ratio between the current size of the pot and the amount of money you will have to contribute to continue with the hands. For instance, if you find yourself facing a bet on the river, and the pot contains 10 bets, then your pod odds are 10:1; i.e., you are getting 10:1 odds on your call

Limit Hold ’em - Playing from the Small Blind

08 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

Some things in life are inevitable: death, taxes, and the fact that over the course of your poker career you are going to lose far more money than you win when you’re stuck in the blinds. The fact that you’re stuck in early position, and that you are forced to contribute money to the pot before you get to see you cards, puts you at a disadvantage that cannot be surmounted by either disciplined hand selection or savvy post flop play

No Limit Hold ’em - The Art of the Overbet

05 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

Ah yes, the overbet. With the exception of winning a good sized tournament there is nothing more satisfying in poker than making a huge bet into a small pot with a big hand - and then get called. Seeing your opponent’s face when you flip over that set of 5’s is nothing short of priceless. And, of course, stacking his chips is pretty sweet too.

Limit Hold ’em - Playing from the Big Blind

05 Oct 2007 00:00 AM

Developing good hand selection skills in the big blind is slightly more complicated then doing so from the small blind. The ‘if you would play it from the button you should play it here’ rule doesn’t apply, since this rule would have you folding far too many hands. When you’re playing from the big blind your pot odds are usually more favorable then they are from the small blind, so folding too many hands when the pot has been raised can be a real mistake. On the other hand it’s very easy to get carried away and start playing more hands than is prudent

Limit Hold ‘em - Understanding Position

05 Oct 2007 00:00 AM
