RAZZ starters

[hojediade]

I like Badugi more than Razz. If I get stuck with an 8 or 9 I can still win in Badugi, if I have 4 different suits. With Razz, you counting on that last card to be low so your 8 or 9 is not included , and it matches one of the low cards you currently own, there is no way you are gonna come out on top.

I'm not sure i get it well, cause you know i'm french.
What i hear there is that you're playing Razz as you play low in Stud which is not relevant. In razz you don't need your cards to be equal to 8 or under to win the hand. You can even win with king high if your opponent holds a full house.
I personnaly don't understand yet badugi and still get lost in it so that i refuse to play it, even free private games.

hoje you gotta try badugi. I personally have enjoyed playing some draw games like badugi lately. There's so much hope when you get to draw/discard.

With Razz i usually like to start with 3 cards 8 or under.Or 2 if I have an ACE Door card and other players have medium/high Door cards.Because you can bluff if you draw another Low card and take the Pot.It all depends on what you opponents UP cards are.After 5 cards I see players raising and you look at their UP cards 4-7-J. So at the moment they can only have a Jack Low but there making a Pot and counting on the Draw.If they hit another high card on 6th street and you catch a Low card you can make a good bet to make them fold with just one draw left.But some players refuse to fold and hit a low on there lawst card and Burn you.It can be more about betting against your opponents hand than betting your own cards.Even if you play good starters you need to DRAW lucky too.
