if I'm going to play Q9 high here I want to keep the pot small so I'm check calling. his raise is pretty much standard with ATC as he knows that if you get a 9 or higher on 5th street you're drawing to a runner runner 9 at best Title: Re: Razz Hand Post by: Nilawina on February 10, 2008, 10:51:27 AM Assuming he's perfect in the hole i.e has a 2h 3d, then he is right raising as he's still 57/43 approx favourite.
Usually when your opponent pairs you're right to automatic bet. However he's paired a low card card and now there's two less low cards for you to catch. The worst case scenario is that he has a 2h 6d hidden and he's drawing live not needing your hole cards! I would have checked and flat called. However a flat call is still correct as you're not a big dog in the hand.

you are winning but he is a marginal fav Title: Re: Razz Hand Post by: UpTheMariners on February 10, 2008, 05:23:37 PM he completes 100% when he has an ace showing therefore theres no reason for me to think he has two playable cards until he raises me.
Title: Re: Razz Hand Post by: Isabel on March 02, 2008, 08:12:59 PM Actually, you should both check on 4th street. You have q high and he has a pair. He will have position on you throughout, so you chould check. And, he has a pair, so he should check. Of course, when he bets, you should just call on 4th street. People forget about position in Razz....and they shouldn't.
I learned how to improve my Razz game by reading "Sklansky on Poker" and "Play Razz Poker to Win." good luck! |
