1. Most hands with three cards are playable
Determining a playable card in razz is simple. You
need three cards of different ranks, with no card being
higher than the eight. Keep in mind that the ace counts
as the lowest card. The only exception to playing three
small cards is when you have an eight as your up card,
and several small cards remain to act behind you. In
this case, you should fold
2. Three cards to a wheel is a very strong starting
hand and should be played as such.
Any time you have three different ranks of cards lower
than a six, you have a very strong starting hand. Always
raise, and if someone has already raised, you should
re-raise
3. If you receive a bad card on fourth-street, and
you opponent receives a good card, you should fold.
The only exceptions to this rule are if you started
with an unusually strong hand or if a lot of money is
already in the pot.
4. a one card draw to a wheel or a six is a favourite
over a made nine-eight on fifth street.
If you have four cards to a wheel or a six, and your
opponent shows two down-cards plus 7 of hearts, 8 of
clubs and 9 of spades you are not the favourite to win.
If he checks, you should bet, and if he bets, you should
raise.
5. if you go to sixth street, you should almost always
go to the river.
By this point, the pot is usually large enough that
you need only a small chance to win for your call to
be correct. The only exception to calling is when you
think you opponent has a monster hand and you have absolutely
no chance of winning.
6. Bluff on the end if you have three or four low cards
showing and your opponent needs a good card to make
his hand.
Even if your hand is of little value, if you have three
or four low cards showing, it appears as though you
have made a hand. Likewise, if your has two low cards
and two high cards on board, he was obviously drawing
to a decent low. You should bluff virtually every time
in this situation. Unless your opponent receives a good
card, he will have difficulty justifying a call with
something like a queen for low.
