Well, to make a long story short, I helped a friend out and ended up with a few bucks on Full Tilt. Now, typically I'd have just let it sit and collect dust, because I've not been fond of Full Tilt for a long time. But, I was watching Wyte play the other night and decided to browse the SnGs. I ran across Limit Razz...something I'm very "decent" at, but have never played on FT. So, I decided "what the heck" and registered...

Next thing you know, I'm now 4 for 5 ITM...and the 1 loss was a bubble loss, so not that far from the money. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Razz, but moreover, how "decent" I was at it. So it makes me wonder, perhaps this should be my profitable game of choice (at least on Full Tilt). I'll still continue playing Hold Em and all on other sites as usual, but as for Full Tilt, I think I've found a way around the donks, because in Razz, it's a lot more obvious when you've got them beat than it is in Hold Em

Razz is a very fun game. And it's fn to play at FT. I love their software.

I play Razz sometimes, but I rarely play in their tournaments. I should give them a looksie.

Razz is a fun game but it also has huge swings. When you run bad in this game it is horrible. It is definitely a game of utter patience.

I agree totally mikey; thankfully patience is something I've got a lot of Plus the limit version is a lot more "sane" than the no limit version.

I'm looking at playing something different online, so these Razz sng your playing sound great,If you don't mind telling
how/many, how/much ?
(ie 8 person,90 person sng, $=??)


i've only ever played a few games of Razz (in freerolls) but i'd like to give it a try,& if i can get a game with you, all the better.

I've actually just been fiddling with the $1 or $2 6 person SnGs levels. Pretty simple to cash in as long as you're patient and know what you're doing moreso than the other players
