Re: Fourth-level thinking in Razz, for TT
[ QUOTE ]
tt, timprov, gritter, and others:
your last post TT brings up a question I had. Why are you all playing these lowball games? I play a fair amount of razz and 2-7 TD but its mostly for entertainment value and because I like to fantasize about playing in big mixed games some day. What is your motiviation? The table selection isn't very good and other games, especially that one all the kids like to play where you only get 2 hole cards, are much more profitable in the current climate.
Just curious. I've wanted to ask this for a while.

Not that you asked me, but for what it's worth...
a. Razz and td are fascinating games that get you thinking about poker in a wider less prescriptive way. They're good development towards becoming a generalist and thinking about them help all aspects of your poker game.
b. bad players in these games can be very very bad. The relative lack of information about the games results in a lot of people really not knowing what they're doing at all, and a lot fewer table coaches too.
c. I'm good at getting bad cards.
