Limit Razz
Limit Razz is another story in itself. Razz is mainly about two things. One, drawing to make the best hand (as many stud games are considered drawing games). And two, is playing your opponents boards, knowing what was out there, and using all of that to your advantage.
When playing limit razz, you are mainly looking at your opponents’ board. This is because you want to know if you can either truly beat him, or represent that you can beat him.
I say this because in razz, anything can happen. You can start out with the best starting hand possible (3 2 A) and the next three cards you get are K K Q, meaning the best hand you can make at this point is a queen low. And if other people see this, they will bet and take the pot right there without even a second glance at their own board. This is very valuable and key because this way, you can pick up a lot of pots uncontested. And every time you can do this in limit, it’s a precious steal.
