Razz - Odds, Probabilities

[rogerwilco 0]

Since Pokerstars started offering Razz I played some of these Turbo-Sit&Gos (which usually turn out to be crapshoots with the raising stakes more or less anyway) and I think I'm playing halfway decently, although I'm inexperienced of course.I read the Razz-Section in SuperSystem 1, but other than that nothing. I'm really not comfortable judging whether calling is worth it, when I'm probably not ahead and judging odds in general.Can someone point me to an informative site explaining Razz-Odds? I'm looking for simple things like - what are my chances of winning when I have A 4 5 T and my opponent shows 3 6 or what are my chances of making a decent hand with A 2 K? Or, the best starting hand obviously is A 2 3, but how good or bad is A 4 7, 3 4 8, A 7 9, 4 5 6,...? And how much exactly do the shown cards of the other players influence my odds? I'm just going by feel at the moment, and I'd like to know this stuff a bit more accurately.

this isnt quite what you're looking for because it doesnt give you odds against random hands, but you can mess around with seeing how different hands match up against each other:http://twodimes.net/poker/

I wish I could help you, but there just isn't a lot of information on Razz out there. My only suggestion is to get more hands under your belt. If I find something however I will pass it on.

get "Sklansky on Poker". Half of the book is the now out of print "Sklansky on Razz". It's pretty much as good as it gets on razz. Don't read it casually though, the wording is pretty hard to follow in some sections (with all of his he thinks you think he thinks stuff). The only way to get a feel for razz though, is to play razz and focus. You absolutely have to track cards in razz to be successful.
