Hi all,
I've been playing razz a lot online lately, now that they have it at Full Tilt. I've been reading 'Sklansky on Razz' and thinking a lot about hands and poker theory in general.
My question is: I've found myself frequently playing shorthanded. (4 or fewer players). In the book, he says that you should steal LESS often in shorthanded games, b/c the juice in the pot before fourth street is considerably less. I feel like I've been hemorrhaging chips when it gets this shorthanded, probably due to the fact that I'm playing too tight.
For instance:
What is a reasonable 4-handed razz hand for raising with one or two cards behind you?
What hand is worth calling a raise cold, 4-handed?
What kind of reasonable hand can I reraise someone whom I suspect is on a steal?
I find myself tempted in these games to reraise people with hands like (92)7 or (T4)2. Is this unreasonable in these games?
thanks
