Rules of Razz

Razz is 7-Card Stud in reverse -- the lowest (i.e. worst) hand wins. Straights and flushes do not count against the low, but pairs do, and unlike other high/low split games, you do not need a qualifying hand for low, you just have to have the lowest hand on the table to snag the pot. A2345 is the lowest possible hand.

Order of play

1. All players ante.

2. Each player is dealt two hole cards face down, and one door card face up. (Your hole cards will appear face-up on your screen, but no one else can see them. We promise.)

3. There is a round of betting, started by the bring-in.

4. Each player is dealt another card, face-up (fourth street).

5. There is a round of betting.

6. Each player is dealt another card, face-up (fifth street).

7. There is a round of betting.

8. Each player is dealt another card, face-up (sixth street).

9. There is a round of betting.

10. Each player is dealt another card, face-down (the river).

11. There is a final round of betting. (That's a lot of betting!.)

The pot is awarded to the lowest five-card low hand. Razz is offered only in Fixed Limit structure. The first two betting rounds are at the lower limit; the last three rounds are at the higher limit.
