Jon " The British Cowboy" WoodfieldOkay, this is clearly just another opportunity to post the pic of JonMW on a horse, and has nothing to do with his comments posted about yesterday"s advent calendar, but there is more to it, I promise you.
Jon works hard for APAT collating and publishing the rankings throughout the season. A job which gets a lot of stick and very little applause. So, thank you Jon.
But Jon is more than just a number collator, he plays a bit of poker aswell. But not any ordinary type of poker, for Jon is a player of Razz.
You may or may not know that Jon cashed in the Razz event in the 2007 WSOP. If you didn"t know, ask him about it.
Which brings me onto another APAT poker first in 2008. During the WCOAP at The Vic, a Razz tournament was included for the first time. Now, a lot of you may be asking yourself, "Razz, sounds a funny game, how do you play that ?"
Well, luckily for APAT, we had our allround poker expert Des at the event and he was able to explain to everyone railing on the forum, exactly what it was all about.
"In Razz players are dealt a total of 7 cards, 3 of which are face down and then rest are face up. From these cards the player has to form the lowest possible 5 card hand. Straights and flushes are irrelevant but pairs/trips/boats all count. The lowest possible hand would be A2345, which is a 5 low (as 5 is the highest card)."So you"ve all got it, right ?
Here"s a link, so you can find out what happened during the first Razz event held in the UK.
