Razz -- call on 3rd with a pair?

[Jesse Richman]

Playing 2-4 Razz online, 6 handed, ran into a new situation for me. Dealt (3,6)6. The other three 3s are all exposed as upcards. Bring in opens, raised to 2 by the first 3, next two players call the raise, me to act with the last 3 behind me. Call or no?

I folded, and I think it's probably right with so many opponents in, but I've never run into one like this before, where I've got a strong two card hand and so unlikely to pair. But I suppose theyre just as unlikely to pair too...

when you have a two card hand and your opponents have a three card hand, you are at a gigantic disadvantage. compare the difference between the possible number of six card razz hands and seven card razz habnds- the ratio is your disadvantage.

this is mostly speculation, i only rarely dabble in razz, but that's what i'd think.

maybe AA2 or A22...
maybe.

Like, not even.

You can't be playing pairs. Get Sklansky on Poker.

These hands are only good for one thing...stealing. I'd never get involved with them in a multi-way pot, unless I was just giving away money.
