Did you ever wish your "bad" hands could make you money? Then Razz could be the
game for you. Part lowball, part 7-card stud, the goal is to make the best five-card
low hand from seven cards.
Each player starts with two hole cards and one upcard; there are then three more
rounds of upcards, with betting after each card, and a final downcard, just as in stud.
Each player ends up with seven cards: four face up and three face down.
The player holding the best low hand using any five of their cards wins the pot. Aces
are always low, and flushes and straights have no effect on the value of a hand.
Also, it's good to remember that drawing a pair will not hurt your hand. The best
possible hand is A-2-3-4-5.
Each new hand begins with every player putting an ante into the pot. For example, in
a $2/$4 limit game, each player would ante 40 cents. The ante is not like a blind, and
does not count toward any future bets.
In the first round, the betting starts with the player having the highest upcard. This is
a forced bet, and the software will automatically put the specified minimum bet (called
the bring-in) into the pot.

Each player can then fold, call the bring-in, or complete the bet (that is, raise to the
lower limit). Once the bring-in bet has been completed, there is a limit of three
reraises. All future rounds have a three raise limit, as well.
The betting on fourth street always proceeds at the lower limit. Unlike 7-card stud, an
open pair does not affect the betting limit. All bets and raises on fourth street will be
increments of the low-limit bet. For example, if the low limit bet is $5, it can be raised
to $10, and then reraised to $15. On fifth street, the bets start at the higher limit, and
remain at that limit through the final round of betting.
After the last round of betting, the software will award the pot to the best low hand. A
very fun and exciting poker game that is fast paced and action packed.
