Where To Play Razz Poker?
Since Razz is more uncommon than 7 card stud and 7 card stud 8/b it is hard to find a room that offers viable Razz action. Over the last couple years Razz has grown quite a bit but it is still far from what I would consider popular. Below I have listed the top 3 poker rooms for players interested in playing Razz.
Pokertars - Pokerstars is my favorite poker room for playing Razz. They offer more traffic than any other room and the software is very smooth. Thier first deposit bonus isn't very attractive but they offer solid promotions. There is also no better place for Razz tournaments and sitngos. I'm from the south suburbs of Chicago so the fact that Pokerstars accepts U.S. players is a big plus. They also make it easy to make deposits using their instant e-check solution.

Full Tilt Poker - You won't find as much Razz traffic at Full Tilt compared to Pokerstars but its pretty close. Fulltilt also accepts U.S. players and provides eccellent software. The deposit bonus (100% up to $600) is much higher than the $50 offered by Pokerstars. You will find a few hundred real money players at the Razz tables at Full Tilt throughout the day so you usually won't have trouble finding an active table unless you are a high roller. Overall Full Tilt is an excellent room to play Razz at and great 7 card stud action as well.
