description Razz Overview
Razz is a seven-card stud poker variant in which the objective is to make the lowest possible five-card hand. Aces count as low, and straights and flushes do not reduce the value of a hand, so the best standard holding is A-2-3-4-5. Players receive a combination of face-down and face-up cards over several betting rounds, and the lowest eligible hand wins at showdown.
help Razz FAQ
What is the best possible hand in Razz?
The best standard Razz hand is A-2-3-4-5. Aces count as low, and straights and flushes do not make a low hand worse.
How is Razz different from seven-card stud?
Razz uses the seven-card stud dealing structure but reverses the goal: players try to make the lowest five-card hand. The game still combines face-down and face-up cards during the hand.
Do straights and flushes count against you in Razz?
No. Straights and flushes do not reduce the value of a Razz hand, so A-2-3-4-5 remains the strongest standard holding.
Are aces high or low in Razz?
Aces are low in Razz. That rule is why an ace can form the best low combination, A-2-3-4-5.
