This villan had just sat down in a different seat a few minutes ago, bought in small and blew it off putting it all in with 2 face cards up on 5th. Now he's changed seats and sat down with a reasonable amount of money. Other than that I've only just been at the table a little, and haven't seen much.

So I'm 246 against after a limping A from a maybe crazy (or drunk) player, and an Ace behind me. I raise to hopefully isolate, and not let a middling A follow along cheaply and maybe outflop me. OK?

4th is an easy bet I think. If I had seen him more and knew he would bet, I might check raise. I think in razz though it's best to play straight forward most of the time, especially if this guy is as bad as my first impression.

I'm not really liking his 5th street, but I've got a made hand and it beats his board. Plus I'm not convinced he has low cards in the hole. Again a check raise could play...

6th is fine.

Now the river is really why I'm posting. I brick again. Do I:

Check, thinking he's unlikely to call with a worse hand (since my board shows a 7-5), but might bet a weak if I play timid? My 76542 is no screaming hell here. And call a bet of course, I'm never check-folding here.

Bet, hoping he will call with worse. But what do I do if raised? That's the key question.

Id bet the river. I think since hes called you down, and it doesnt look like he has a big drawing hand since he didnt raise 3rd Id expect him to pay you off here and hope you paired up. I also dont expect to get raise on 7th here much either because of how scared he may be of a 3-bet making a bet even better.

The rest of the hand is good.

Also could you convert your hands. It just makes it easier to see the action.

I know what you mean, but few converters do Razz. And this is on AP where the FTR converter is only good for LHE.

Know of any others that might work?

Theres a converter here. Not sure if it works on AP. http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...showtopic=88189

Also I just noticed you were from Alberta. Thats awesome cause there arent too many of us here. Sherwood Park is just outside of Edmonton right?

I think the bet call line is fine on 7th. He certainly isn't betting an eight low most likely when you check, but he isn't folding to a bet here. If we get raised, it's just unfortunate, but we'll have to pay it off. This is one of those hands where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't IMO, but I'll still make the value bet on the end.

Play looks fine elsewhere though.

agreeeeeed

seconded...he beat me to it

Nope, the converter doesn't seem to work on AP.

Yes, Sh Park is on the east edge of Edmonton. I noticed you were from Brooks a while ago, mostly because one of my best friends is from there. That was a while ago, but his parents ,and I think his sister, are still there.

Thats cool.
