The A234Q is way ahead. Twodimes.net is your friend, use it, its great for questions like this.

Thanks for the numbers, and thanks for the link. I use pokerstove for THE, but had not seen a stud calculator. The wheel draw is a lot farther ahead than I thought.

Me too. I though it would be 55-45 or something. Pokerstove needs to come out with versions for different games cause for holdem PokerStove is one of the greatest tools ever made.

I <3 you

A wheel draw on 5th is a favourite against a made 9, let alone a T-8...

If you've got the wheel draw, it is correct to jam 5th here.

QFT

If I had something to calculate ranges in Razz, and not just exact hands, that would improve my game much more.

And Frez is right about the wheel draw>made nine statement. It's how I get a ton of chips in Razz.

Doesn't it depend entirely on exactly how good the 9 is? 95 and 94 are also wheel draws. 96 kills a lot of outs form your low draw. At what point does the advantage swing? I'll check with twodimes after work I guess. Just making the point.

edit: Apparently a 9-6 is pretty even with a K-4 depending on exactly which cards below 6 the 9 low holds. 9-s is a clear loser to the wheel draw. with no outs burned.
