Overview:

Limit Razz Poker is the 'R' in "h.o.r.s.e" poker, if you know how to play seven card stud then you will be familiar with the game structure.
Razz Poker really gained huge popularity in the last few years.

I can think of few reasons for that:

Third: It's been played in mix games (like h.o.r.s.e) therefore more and more players trying to master this game, in order to get big advantage over their opponents on the mix games.

How to Play Limit Razz Poker:

Limit Razz Poker is similar to other 7 stud games, but this is a low only game, means that the player with the low 5 card hand wins the pot.
It's common to use antes, and bring-in as the force bet, but here the player with each player will get dealt 3 cards two of them are face-down and one of them is face-up , after few round of betting and cards dealing your hand will look like this DDU-U-U-U-D ( U = face-up , D = face-down ) .
Now it's time to show your hand, the player with the lowest five cards will win the hand
Note: razz poker is not an 8 or better variation, if your 5 lowest cards are: 9 8 7 4 2 and this is the lowest combination you got the pot.
Straight and flushes does not count, therefore the best possible hand is: Ace 2 3 4 5.

Thing You Have to Know:

The best starting hand is: Ace, Deuce, and Three.
The Worst starting hand is: King, King, King

Razz Poker Lingo:

Door-Card: The face-up card out of your three starting cards is called door-card.
Bring-In: Force bet, these kind of bets force action about the players, not all the poker variations uses bring-in.
Baby Bluff: when you got starting hand, like [k] [q] 2 and all the other players have high cards you can raise to make them think that you got small cards in the two face-down cards. Family Pot: when four or more players are in the pot.
