Message: [QUOTE="Jack Daniels, post: 1056410, member: 1954"] This is actually pretty decent advice for players that either 1) only play Razz as their rotation in HORSE and have no interest in really developing their Razz game beyond survival, or 2) those that just decided to play Razz and need something to keep them alive while they are in process of developing their game. For those two types of players, the above should mostly keep them out of trouble. If we tie your post together with the basic strategy above, then I'd generally agree with you. However anyone looking to build their game, even very early on, needs to learn that this isn't always true. There are ample times available where you can start with a higher hole card than 8. The trick is learning when those times are opposed to never doing it. e.g. Hero [J6]A Board: AQ688[B]A[/B]JK K brings in, folds around to hero with A door card, Hero completes, J and K villians fold. I'd say you need to play at least three times. ;) In addition, 32A can also start off on 3rd street as a less than premium hand as well. e.g. Hero [A2]3 Board 3[B]7[/B]644565 That's an amazingly crappy board (which does happen) and your 32A jsut became a lot less attractive since half of your bike outs are dead just on the deal (+3 of your 7-low outs too). While your opponents just gained a lot of ground (visually/potentially) because if one of them has a 3-card 6 or 7 then they are drawing to a lot of outs. Imagine if one of those sixes started as [45]6. I'd be thrilled here with that because only one of my bike outs is dead and I'm probably ahead of all hands right now (maybe not, but the odds are in our favor in this example). This is very true for the most part. So many maniac and unskilled opponents can make it pretty good for the willing Razz student. I'm still early in my Razz game, but I've made leaps and bounds in terms of learning and I'm constantly seeing dead money on the tables. Though I would greatly disagree with this. [/QUOTE]
