Overview
Razz High flips Razz on its head: instead of the lowest hand winning, the player with the highest five unique (unpaired) ranks wins. Aces are always low, and straights and flushes do not count against the hand — only rank matters.

Ante
All players post an ante. Aces are always low — they can never count as the highest card.
The Deal & Streets
Identical to standard 7-Card Stud: two down, one up on third street; one face-up on fourth through sixth streets; one face-down on seventh street.
Bring-In
The player with the lowest door card brings in (Low Card Bring-In). Since aces are always low in Razz High, the ace is the worst bring-in card. On fourth street and beyond, the player showing the highest visible hand bets first.
Hand Rankings
Best five-card hand = highest five unique (unpaired) ranks, reading from top down. Aces are always low. Straights and flushes are ignored — only ranks matter.
- Best hand: K-Q-J-10-9
- Second best: K-Q-J-10-8
- If all players have at least one pair, the player with the highest pair wins (aces still low)
Strategy Tips
- High cards (K, Q, J, 10) are premium — the opposite of regular Razz
- Pairs are still bad; you want five different high ranks
- Aces are the worst starting card — folding an ace door card is often correct
- Watch opponents' upcards: players showing low cards are in trouble
