PokerTime Adds New Game Razz Where Winning Low Is The Way To Win.
This month PokerTime has added a new game to its suite of online poker
games, called Razz. The game of Razz is very similar in play to 7-card Stud and sometimes called Seven-Card Stud Low.
One of the exceptions is that Stud plays, as usual for Poker, for the highest hand being the winner, whereas Razz does just the
opposite: the lowest hand wins in Razz. The high card (Aces are low) is required to make the forced bet
in the first round, and the low hand acts first on all other game rounds. Straights and Flushes have no ranking in Razz, so
the best possible hand is 5-4-3-2-A, also called "a Wheel" or "a bicycle". Play the new game at PokerTime
