Razz is Seven Card Stud played for the lowest hand. It uses a full 52-card deck, has no community cards, and every player is dealt seven cards of their own.
The Core Idea:
• The worst traditional poker hand wins the pot
• Straights and flushes do not count against you
• Aces are always low
• Your best five of seven cards make your hand
Why Learn It:
Razz is one of the games in a HORSE rotation, and the skills it teaches — tracking exposed cards and reading boards — carry over to every stud variant.
