The game keeps changing when it comes to rotation poker games. Instead of having each hand in accordance to the choice of the dealer or playing one variation all night, players prefer the rotational poker games. It typically rotates after a set amount of time (20 minutes or so) or commonly after the deal has completed one round around the table. You can increase as many variations as you like. HORSE poker tournaments are the famous forms of rotation games. This prevents the players from getting bored and keeps up the excitement all during the poker rounds.

Razz Poker Rules

Posted in Types of Poker on February 18th, 2010 by Anthony

Razz is a type of Seven-Card Stud Poker game where the hand with a lowest possible combination shall win the pot. Here, the lowest winning hand is A-2-3-4-5. The flushes or the straights are not counted against you and the aces are considered low. The combination from the Ace to Five is known as the ‘wheel’ or the ‘bike’. Unlike the Omaha Hi/Lo games, Razz does not have Eights or better. The winning hand cannot have a card higher than 8, so as to make it a lower hand. It is unlikely that a Razz hand would have a pair in a hand.
