razz?

[cjs]

Been playing dealer's choice and would like to know where to find any good info on razz. Never played it before and did not find much when I googled it.

The seminal work on the topic is Sklansky on Razz. Now part of Sklansky on Poker.

I'm also told that SS2 has a chapter and it's decent.

you mean SS1.

Isn't the chapter in SS1 really a chapter on lowball games in general? I seem to remember there being a lot of detail on 2-7 draw, or something like that, and very little specifically on razz. It's been a while since I've read it, though, so I could be wrong.

there are 8 pages in SS1 specifically about Razz.

that's 8 more than in SS2.

Hellmuth has a Razz chapter as well, but you know how that sh*t goes.

The Razz coverage from last years WSOP is good and very entertaining.

Edit: I also enjoyed the Kansas City (2-7) lowball coverage. ESPN never aired it on tv, but it can be found on espn360 and probably the WSOP dvd if that is out yet.

They didn't air the razz coverage? I never saw any coverage of the 2004 WSOP that wasn't on ESPN, but I distinctly remember a very frustrated Howard Lederer showing his hand and exclaiming "Three pair again!" Are you sure?

Oh, and playersare: I wasn't asking about SS1 vs. SS2, I was asking about the usefulness of the SS1 section. Eight pages is more than I remember, which proves my memory is faulty, which could also explain the first paragraph of this post [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ooops! I am thinking about the kansas city (2-7) lowball. That one was great.

You are right, the Razz was aired on tv.

I definitely saw at least one WSOP Razz episode on the main ESPN channel. I doubt the ratings were high on that though, and I wouldn't blame them if they decided to leave it out for next year's mainstream TV broadcast.
