Viva Macau Poker - Razz

Razz is a lowball variant of 7 Card Stud in which the player with the lowest ranking poker hand wins the pot.

As with Stud Hi, in Razz Poker, players are dealt seven cards throughout the course of the hand, but only the best five-card hand possible for each player is used to determine the winner.

The player with the lowest up card begins the betting with a forced bet (called the bring in) and play moves in a clockwise direction with players either calling the bring, completing the bet (raising to the lower limit) or folding. There is a limit of three re-raises in all betting rounds.

4 more betting rounds will commence. A new card will be dealt to each player before the betting round. Razz follows the 2 down, 4 up, 1 down pattern of 7 Card Stud. The player with the highest value hand will be the first to play. Because there are less than 5 cards face up no straights flushes or full houses will count for this.

The player with the best five-card razz hand wins the pot. Unlike 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo and Omaha Hi/Lo there is no "qualifier", so the player with the lowest value Poker Hand in Razz wins the entire pot.

After the pot is awarded to the best hand, a new game of Razz is ready to be played.
