How do you play Razz?

I just wait for two aces and press the raise button like a maniac

Pairing cards is bad in Razz. I'm still not sure what it means but I think it has something to do with making your low threashold as a king high.

Pairing cards is bad in Razz...

I think his joke went over your head ... but maybe it wasn't a joke.

At the most basic level of razz ... yes pairing is bad. At a higher level its not necessarily a bad thing.

I have (2,3) A ... villian has (x,x) 7

4th street now I have (2,3) A 3 ... villian has (x,x) 7 K

4th street a bet there is highly recommended even though you paired. He doesn't know you paired ...one less good card for him with another 3 gone ... also he bricked. He lays his hand down often there ...
