Razz is the reverse of all traditional high card settings. Razz secret lies in playing the seven card stud with the lowest possible only to win the pot. Each player is served with seven cards. The best low hand five cards among all the players is the winner. In Razz, the Ace is the lowest and the King is the highest. A paired hand is always lower than an unpaired hand. Flushes and straights have no place in Razz. A 4, 4,4,5,5 set is inferior to A, A, J, 10, 9. Similarly 9,8,7,6,5 is inferior to 9,8,6,5,3. The best is 5, 4, 3, 2, A. Therefore, the best winner hand is 5, 4, 3, 2, and A called a five-four low.
Razz game starts with putting an equal low amount on the table. For example in a game with limits of $1, the ante would be something like $0.20 or $0.10.
Each player is dealt with three cards with two hidden and one face up. Player with the highest ranking open card has to start the action with increasing the betting amount. The action of betting goes clockwise to complete the circle. This is Third Street of the Razz.
In Fourth Street, each player is dealt with a fourth card. The player getting the strongest low may either check or bet. Again this action has to complete the circle clockwise.
The distribution of fifth exposed card is called the Fifth Street. The same procedure repeats until the Seventh Street is dealt. This final card is dealt with face down which only the player can see. The player having the lowest poker value calls the bet or check first to begin the circle of betting/checking.
If more than one player remains in the field, then a showdown is called. The last caller shows his hand first. The best low wins.
Sometimes, a tie needs to be broken. This is broken by a “suit” The highest is spade and the lowest is club. The highest suit is the winner. For example a King of heart is better than a king of diamonds but inferior to the king of spades.
