Razz Poker in Live Tournaments

One of the major live Razz Poker tournaments is held each year at the World Series of Poker, a very popular event which has seen the number on entrants grow over the last few years and now is one of the main events.

The Buy-In has also grown, it has recently now become a $2500 buy in event having been increased from a previous Buy In of $1500, and whilst that sure is a large increase that hasn’t put off players from wanting a share of the prize pools on offer.

The main attraction of playing Razz Poker is that the rules of the game are like no other Poker game in as much as you are hoping to get dealt the lowest ranked poker hand as opposed to the highest, and as such this calls for players to put into play a very different playing structure to their normal poker game playing style.
