“Razz … a beautiful, beautiful form of poker”
Ted Forrest, Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide
“It took me, what? Two minutes to realize how to play razz.”
Kenny Tran on the WSOP HORSE broadcast, later eliminated from final table during the razz rotation.
“Razz is one of the purest forms of poker, because the good players will make the money and the bad players lose the money.”

Hi, I am thinking of started a new challenge for my self... I normally am playing the NL50 6 max games but I really love razz but have never put the time in to really learn the game in full detail so I thought I would challenge myself by seriously trying to grind out a 2nd bankroll with Razz.
So mostly I will be 2 tabling but sometimes there just aren't a lot of tables around and I may have to just play 1 at a time. I will use the 300BB rule for moving up and down. (I am playing 8max tables) I THINK!, I will start at the .25/.50 games which means $150 starting BR and move down when I hit $75 & go to .50/1 with $300. Also I won't be using any programs for the most part...at least not yet since I will most likely take advantage of the PokerTrackerStud free trial
How much "variance" is normal? According to what I read, at micro Razz, if you win 2.5BB/100, an expected standard deviation is 16BB/100. (Remember, this is over many. many hands - not a few hundred, at least ten thousand.) At this level, there is a 1% chance of a 235BB downswing. And that, it seems to me, is where the standard advice comes from to have a 300BB bankroll.-Quoted from a Winning midstack Razz player
I will start this challenge with in a week or so just have to move some funds around and deal with school stuff all this week since we just started a new semester.
I would love to hear others thoughts, most people say Razz is the worst game ever
