Razz
Razz is a form of seven-card stud in which the lowest hand wins. Aces are low, and straights and flushes do not count against you, so the best possible hand is A-2-3-4-5, called the wheel.
The simple explanation
Each player gets seven cards, and he makes the lowest five-card hand. The best cards are the ace, two, three, four and five. A pair is bad, because it makes your hand higher. The player with the highest upcard must bring in.
A closer look
Razz needs a different way of thinking: your goal is to make a low hand without pairs. Starting hands with three low cards, such as A-2-3, are good, while hands with high cards are bad. It is played with fixed limits and is part of mixed games such as HORSE. You must also pay attention to the up cards of the opponents: if the cards you need are visible in other hands, they are dead for you.
A practical example
A player holds A♣ 2♦ 3♥ 4♠ 6♣ and has a six-four low hand in Razz.
