 Razz Poker:
 
 Razz is a kind poker game derived from the seven card 
						stud game. This game played with two to eight players 
						where best low hand wins. The main difference in Razz is 
						that instead of highest hand here lowest hand always 
						wins.
 
 Razz rules: Main:
 
 The basic rules of Seven card stud are apply on Razz. In 
						Razz poker Aces are always consider as low rank. Here 
						straight and flushes have no ranking in game. The lowest 
						possible hand in a Razz is A2345.
 
 Other rules:
 
 Ante: 
						7 card stud normally playing with an ante i.e., approx. 
						1/5 of the low limit bet size. In Razz also every player 
						must ante up before the hand begins.
 
 Bring in: 
						
						After the every player showing their first card the 
						person with the highest card must place the low limit 
						bet size in the pot.
 
 Betting rounds:
 
 Razz poker consists of five betting round. In fixed 
						limit Razz, all 
						bets and raises must be equal to either in low limit or 
						high. In the first two rounds, all bets and raises must 
						be equal to the low limit bet size. In the third, 
						fourth, and fifth rounds, all bets must be equal to the 
						high limit bet size.
						
						A 
						maximum of 3 raises are allowed per betting round.
 
 3rd street: 
						
						Two cards are dealt face down to every player, followed 
						by another card face up. The player with the highest 
						card must bring in, by betting 1/2 of the low limit bet.
 
 4th street: 
						
						Here a fourth card is dealt face up to every player. The 
						player with the lowest hand showing is the first to act. 
						He may choose to fold, check, or bet.
 
 5th street: 
						A fifth card is dealt face up to every player.
 
 6th street: 
						A sixth card is dealt face up to every player.

						player.

						anyone who has not folded 
						after the last round of betting will now have the option 
						of showing their hand in hopes of taking down the pot.
