Razz?

i've seen this game a number of times and the only thing i really know about it is that its played kinda like 7 card stud. What exactly are the rules for this game?

For play it's identical to 7 card stud, the one exception being that the high card leads the action instead of the low card.

Other then that, the best 5 card low hand wins, aces count low, straights and flushes do not count.
So A 2 3 4 5 is the best hand in razz.

alright thats the idea i got from the game but i was also wondering if pairs and stuff count against you or not

Well, yes and no. You do not have to play a pair unless it makes up your best 5 card hand, i.e.:
(A 3) 3 4 5 5 (5). In this example your best low hand is A 3 3 4 5, a pair of threes.

But if your hand were:
(A 3) 3 4 5 6 (5) you best low hand is A 3 4 5 6, and the pair is not played.

Does that clear things up?

yeah, its still a little confusing, but im sure once i get playing it'll all clear up. thanks adaon!

i know how to play but i actually think its kind of a stupid game i dunno bout anyone else thoughts?

i realy have no clue how its played and realy could never see me playing it.

there is only one thing about razz. it's very boring game. u have to fold full houses and hands like that because it's razz wishing u was playing texas hold em or some other game

Interesting how much popularity one game gets to another and the only difference is the high starts instead of the low....what is no one knew what Stud is and Razz was one of the big games online and at the WSOP? weird thought
