Yeah it is very possible. I do it. I am not an expert on razz, but it is quite easy to bluff, you just need too when too do it. For example, if a guy to my direct left brings in with Jack high and it's folded around too me and my cards are (AA)2, I am going too complete. I know I have a pair of aces, a pretty bad hand in razz, but all he sees is my deuce, so he will usualy fold. Now seeing as I have never read a book on razz or been given any advice and have just learnt by experience (of which i still hold little), my advice might be utter crap, but I think it is correct.

Suppose you hold (56)AK56(K) and your opponent holds (XX)4JQ74(X), I reckon you should bet here. While the best hand you have is two pair, ace kicker, which your opponent most likely beats, he can't know that. What he is probably putting you on is two low cards in the whole too fill up your low revealed A56. Unless he is a complete idiot, has great pot odds, or has amazingly got three unpaired low cards in the hole, he will probably fold the best hand. The chances of him having three great hole cards: e.g. (A2)4JQ74(3), are pretty low.

If there are some really good razz players reading this could you please comment on my analysis?

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." ~Abraham Lincoln

yea, I find it is easy. You jus have to make sure the four cards showing are better than your opponents.

If this was the case I would contact support because your opponent has 8 cards ;-)

I'll comment, by the time it is 7th street bets anyone still in the hand has great pot odds.
