Love That Razz!

For those of you that think razz isn't worth the trouble, you might be right:

I start with 4-6 / 5. One 4, one 8 and one ace are dead. Ts brings it in, I raise, folds back to him and he calls.

Ace to him, deuce to me. I'm now sitting on a six-draw against his exposed ten. I bet, he calls.

We both catch a queen on fifth street, so nothing is really changed. He is showing T-A-Q, I am showing 5-2-Q. I am a huge favorite here, as he has to be drawing at a ten and I know I'm drawing at a six. I bet and he calls! Amazing.

Sixth street: nine to him, and another queen to me. Crap. Well, he can't have anything better than a made ten right now with a draw to a nine, and I have (let's count) four threes, three aces, four sevens, and three eights. 14 outs. He checks, and I check it right back... and catch the case queen on the river. He rivered a nine-six (not that he needed it, he had the made ten on sixth street) to take it down.

Love that razz!
