bullshit if u get A2345 in razz u win that simple its the best hand in the game...if you lose with it chances are you are in a horse game and the blinds (so essentially the game) changes and u dont notice

Ive been playin nl hold'em for years, but am brand new to razz. I read a lil bit on it before joining a Horse freeroll. I thought, from what I read, that basically the lowest/worst hand won. However, I ended up in a hand with one other player, and I had the lowest cards of us two, but still lost. someone please explain exactly what the best hand is in razz!

Razz is the easiest poker variant to play. The player with the lowest 5 card hand wins. It goes from highest to lowest, meaning a 75432 beats an A2367. I see guys counting their low from the bottom up instead of the top down.

Sounds like the time I was playing NLHE and lost with a Royal Flush. I was like WTF.

Razz is so much dependent on what cards you get. The best players in razz v. the avg players is not that big of a difference. Especially online...

disagree like most stud games its easier to bluff your opponents there is a fair bit of skill involved but as sickread pointed out it is the easiest of all varients of poker

Just learn the rules. It's really easy. Sickread nailed it: it's the easiest and also likely the least studied poker game.

I used to play razz rings on Stars because even the regs were ridiculously bad.

Could it be you split with someone ? I don't know how it's possible to lose with this hand in Razz you might be thinking about Badugi .
