Played a little 1/2 Razz today. Chip Jett was at the table immediately to my left - got to love Full Tilt.

I actually played quite well for about 20 minutes, choosing my spots nicely. But I lost a massive pot when my made A3567 got beat by A2467 - opponent (random player) had two high cards showing and hit the Ace on 7th street (I think he would also have won with a 3).

As far as I can tell, any hand with a high card of 7 is pretty strong at Razz.

I lost another couple of largish pots and left with my tail between my legs $25 down. Still working on Razz!

Played a bit of no limit after that. After playing for ages without winning or losing much this happened.

I raise to $1.75 from seat 4 with 7s8s. Called by seat 5 and the button. Flop 9s Js 8d. I bet $6, seat 5 raises to $20.25 (hello overpair) pot $32.75, button folds I call ($14.25 more) and am all in. Seat 5 shows pocket aces.

At this point I am a 58.58% favourite (I win with a spade (9) a ten (3) and 8 (2) or a 7 (3) - so 17 outs).

Turn is 6h - I'm still going to win about 45% of the time (I can now win with a 5 as well, so have 20 outs). River is a 4d. I lose a buy in.
  • Paradise $975
  • Full Tilt $345.96

Got to get the Full Tilt balance back over $400 soon.
