Football preview for week 7 NFL action – all NFL games are viewed and previewed:
San Diego Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills
The Chargers looked OK on Sunday night, but it was a closer game than the final score showed. The San Diego secondary is still suspect and not playing up to its talent level. The Bills on the other hand have been playing solid football and are at home. They will sneak out a victory in a close one.

To celebrate, here’s a shameless list of the…

In the game of Razz, starting hand selection is very important. Unlike games such as Omaha or Texas Holdem, you can’t hit a monster hand with any old cards. This is a low-hand game, so you must start with low cards if you want a chance to win a hand. Razz is played in the 7-Stud format, so your first three cards will help you decide if you’re going to play the hand.
You should have no cards higher than an 8 in the first three cards you are dealt. Sometimes you can go to the 9, but 9-high rarely wins a hand. Stick with the 8 rule, and if it’s the beginning of a tournament you can drop it down to 7-high. The only other times you might consider playing three first cards bigger than a 9 would be if all of your opponents are showing big cards and your up card is small, or if it’s late in a tournament and there’s pressure from the blind levels. Then you come in with a raise and you can often pick up the pot right there.
There are no other exceptions for playing hands with cards bigger than 9. You drastically decrease your odds of winning if you do, so stick to the rule and you’ll find success.

Cash Games, Betting Strategy
August 9 2008
Cash games allow for players to step outside the normal structure of a poker game. Tournaments have strict rules to follow and there’s no room for players to introduce something that might make the game more interesting. One thing a player can do to increase the action in a cash game is to put on a straddle. The straddle is a bet that’s at least twice the big blind, made by a player before the cards are dealt. It’s a bet in the dark, usually made by the player under the gun, to increase the action at the table.
The straddle is often frowned upon by some players at the table. Tight players are not comfortable in an aggressive game, so many won’t agree to straddle the hand when the rotation comes to them. Action players like the straddle because bluffs become more valuable when the pots are bigger.
You won’t be able to straddle a pot in every casino. The higher the limit of the game, the more likely you’ll be to see a straddle come into play. Some casinos will have limits on straddles, like which positions are allowed to make the bet. Most allow it from under the gun only, but you can straddle from any position in some states.
