Razz Lessons
I’ve just finished my 2nd, 2 hour razz session on Full Tilt, and I’m down almost 3 buy-in’s. Hardly a good start, but I’ve realized a few things, that should help me avoid a loosing session tomorrow.
General Lessons
1. Firstly, 2 hour sessions of razz is a little more then I can take, so I’m going to cut my sessions down to no more then 90 minutes, unless I’m on a rush.
2. To have any chance of earning at least the first increment ($20) of my Full Tilt bonus I have to multi-table my razz sessions.
3. If I’m spending most of everyday playing 25c/50c razz, it will become just another grind, so I’m going to throw some 50c/$1 razz sessions in on Poker Stars and do some 90 man Sit ‘n Go’s and other things to keep me entertained and focused.
Razz Strategy Lessons
1. If I’m facing a total idiot who’s raising and re-raising with junk, and I haven’t made a hand, don’t give him an opportunity to cap the betting on 3rd or 4th, wait until I hit my draw or make a hand to back my draw up. So I’m not going to pay him off if I miss and his runner, runner comes good.
2, Need to stop trying to pick up pots with and A or 2 up in the morning and lunch hours of server time, as there is way too much reckless raising and re-raising going on. This gets more successful into the afternoon.
3. I’ve loosened up a bit and its costing me money. Time to get back to not playing a hand if it contains a card 8 or higher and I really need to decide if I’m in our out by 5th street.
