Razz poker is one of the games the author enjoys playing, you can learn how to play razz and read razz rules by visiting the links.
To be a good Razz player you must be patient. It is important not to rush into a large bet yet still remain aggressive when your hand is good. As with all poker games razz poker combines both the players luck and skill.
At the beginning of a game of Razz poker, it is easy to tell if your hand is a winner. Since two cards are dealt face down and the third one face up, any player with an up card of 9 or higher will probably fold. If, on the other hand you have three cards that are between A and 5, it is a betting hand. A23 is the best starting hand, but any combination of low cards will work as long as you don't have a pair. If one of your first three cards is a seven or eight, you may still be able to bet the hand but use caution, especially if your opponents have low up cards.
Be sure you pay attention to the other up cards on the table as they are dealt. For example, if your hand contains 247 and you see some other 2's, 4's, or 7's dealt to the table, you can feel good about your hand because you have even less chance of getting a pair which could spoil a good starting hand.
On the other hand, if the cards you need to complete your good hand are dealt to the table, that makes your strong hand weaker and you need to proceed with caution.
As with any game of poker, the more you can learn about your opponents, the better you will do. Even if a player is comfortable playing the game, they will need to know some of the online poker tips when playing with other players they cannot see or hear. If you know the guy across from you will bet on anything no matter what, let him keep rising, and wait him out. He can't always have a good hand.
Be wary of bluffing in Razz. Usually, players have pretty much the same hand that you see represented on the table, so it is foolish to keep raising the bets just to "keep the others honest." In the long run a strategy like that will cause you to leak away a lot of chips and end up on the losing end. Remember…patience is the watchword for Razz poker players.
