When I started writing the this article, I knew that I could write a short book just about tournament Razz. But that's not practical, and maybe not even useful.

I wanted to say a couple more things, though.

1.) This is my strategy and works well for me in Stars' Razz MTTS. It is not the only strategy or even the best one, necessarily, for every player.

2.) One thing I didn't talk about was VPIP - in a cash game, I average around 26%. Some Razzers are successful at higher rates, some lower. But in the tournaments I have gone deep in and cashed in, I find my VPIP around 17-20%. I'd hate for anyone to become fixed on the number and make it a target - but it's something to keep in mind in terms of the differences in cash vs trny.

3.) It would be a great thing if people wanted to discuss Razz trny strategy here just generally, using the article as a jumping off point- there is little written about it and sharing some POVs is the best way to find an approach that makes sense to us.

Last - next to winning the thing myself, I can't think of much I'd like better than for someone to do well in the WCOOP Razz next week and say, "Something I read in that thread helped me." I won't care who wrote it, either.

Thanks for the RAZZ articles. I have enjoyed them.

Speaking of Addendums.....

Here is a link to something I put together after this month's article sparked a discussion elsewhere about how to decide when to push and what to push with. It even generated a pretty interesting formula from someone who is a bit of a math wiz.

I realized I didn't have any formula for deciding these things, but I also think I play a shortstack pretty well. So, if anyone is interested, here's something descriptive from the beginning of this additional entry that I couldn't put on my blog because it was too hard to format, so it appears as a series of posts.

Thanks for the comments, I enjoy them!

Listening, your articles are the nuts! Thanks, and please keep writing.

Wow - thanks, Mike. Well, I imagine sooner or later one will be a bit less nutlike- but - I am planning a couple specials for November and December - and hoping to tackle Multiway pots in January - then get into a bit more advanced strategies in the spring.

Of course, all I seem to be accomplishing is bringing in a lot more people to my tables who keep taking my dam munney!!

Now I have to go write an addendum for October.
