I can't believe my first post is about razz. A little background info might be helpful;
Wednesday nights a group of us poker crazies in YK get together to play holdem for weekly points contributing 10% of the pot to a pool for a freeroll event at the end of the 'session'. This session usually spans a few months.
Some notes on the regular game structure;
- Format: NL Texas Holdem
- Starting Chips: 100
- Buy-in: $20 Rebuy for 2 hrs + Add on after 2 hrs
- Starting Time: 7pm
- Ending Time: This is the wack part, if we do not have a winner at 11:15 we do a chip count.
- Structure:
- 1-2, 30min
- 2-4, 30min
- 3-6, 30min
- 4-8, 30min
- 5-10, 30min
- 10-20, 45min
- 20-40, 45min
- 40-80, 15min
- The game is generally fairly loose and really aggressive as our regulars play alot of poker week-in and week-out with the same group.
So, now to Razz, as a break from the monotony of NL Holdem (and between 'sessions') we decided to play 7-handed razz last night. We did not change the structure. This resulted in NL Razz (uncommon) with no antes (crazy).
Long story short; we had a lot of grumpy people, one out pre-freezeout (an extremely rare occurence), a player in for $200, and a total nightly kitty of ~$520.
In retrospect, I played well but unforunately I just picked up some great hands on the last 2 streets! :-(
Next week is 7-card Stud; I will not be playing as I'm off to Sudbury to bowl in the C5PBA Team event. Good luck me!
In future I will strive to reproduce some hands here for future reflection.
$OUT 60 - $IN 0
