Been playing.....

....RAZZ, hence the picture of the RAZZberry, yeah I know it's shite but it's the best that I could come up with.

RAZZ has been my main fix for the past week, with me starting at 0.25/0.50 and working my way up to $30/$60 stakes one night.

Overall I've made around $700 playing RAZZ whilst I've managed to spunk away about $400 playing NLHE. Switching from RAZZ back to NLHE seems to make me play like a complete gimp, but the RAZZ experience has been good and I'm going to continue playing it some more.

There are not many RAZZ books out there and the couple on Amazon & eBay which are RAZZ specific cost a fortune £40+ each and the books are about 15 years old. I've been busy with some other shite, but when I get a chance I'm going to scour the forums and try and learn the nuances of the game. The main tactic that I've been employing is tight is right i.e. really waiting for that premium starting hand and then jamming the bets in like crazy when it arrives, it seems to work okay because RAZZ is primarily a drawing game and people will call down hoping to hit that miracle card. Occassionally they do and it's annoying but they're the beats that come with any form of poker.

Remembering the face cards of people who've folded is also crucial and should form part of reasoning on whether to get involved in a hand, I've found that when I think I'm behind, I usually am, but sometimes I just can't help chasing that miracle card like a twat [see above :-) ]

Anyway, I'm sticking to 1/2, 3/6 & 5/10 RAZZ for a while whilst I can hopefully become a legend at this form of Poker(ha ha I'm so full of shit - more like a Leg End). If anybody knows any good sites for RAZZ then post the links in the comments

Good luck at the tables
