Online Razz - Softest games?
 

Hi folks.

Today I played Razz for the first time in my life, at a Dealer's Choice table at Games Grid Poker. I was happily surprised by how fun it was. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So... where can you find the softest onlince Razz games? UB, GG, Full Tilt, Other? How hard is it to become a consistent winner in those games (compared to other poker games)?

I am a rank beginner at Razz so I am obviously not very good yet. But I think I understood the game reasonably well intuitively (at least for someone who suck at stud...) and I am going to thoroughly study the Razz section of "Sklansky on Poker". Recommendations of other resources are welcome, by the way.

The only site that I know of that offers Razz is Full Tilt.

Yes Full tilt is only site that has razz and most players are pretty solid because of it.

Okay.. guess I got it wrong about UB then. I also noticed now that GG only has Razz in the Dealer's Choice game. Those games seem pretty soft by the way, at least on occasion, and compared to for example the hold'em games at the same site.

GamesGrid also has Razz-only ring games.

Oh. I must have missed that. (Or else it's new.) Thanks!

I think in the DC games on GG, Razz was played with blinds. Note that this is not the case anywhere else, as it's a stud game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

All the DC games at GG have blinds. It's kind of interesting. After the first round it resorts to best hand betting in their stud games, so calling a stud game nullifies some of your positional advantage.

I am beginning to think, though, that having the button on the first round of stud is more of an advantage than having the button pre flop in comunity card games. I think I will make a separate post on this and see what the experts think.

Right, but the Razz-only ring games on GG are played with antes.
