Razz Poker is a form of stud poker, and the objective is to achieve the lowest possible five-card hand. Unlike other poker variants, in Razz, straights and flushes do not count against the player, and the ace is always low.
The objective of Razz Poker is to have the lowest possible five-card hand out of the seven cards dealt to you during the game.
The player with the highest face-up card must make a forced bet (bring-in). Players can call, raise, or fold. Betting proceeds clockwise.
Each player receives another face-up card. The player with the lowest visible hand starts the betting. A round of betting follows.
Each player receives another face-up card. Again, the player with the lowest visible hand starts the betting. From this round onwards, the betting amounts double.
Each player receives another face-up card. Betting starts with the player with the lowest visible hand.
Each player receives a final face-down card. The last round of betting starts with the player with the lowest visible hand.
After the final betting round, remaining players reveal their hole cards. The player with the lowest five-card hand wins the pot. In Razz, the best possible hand is A, 2, 3, 4, 5.
