MCU poker odds: razz (7-low) improvement

  • By Mike Caro | Exit

Poker1.com default content graphic


Note: The odds given in this table were calculated personally by Mike Caro in 1976. These statistics appeared in Doyle Brunson’s original Super/System — A Course in Power Poker (1978) as Table XLVI (Table 46).

This table was also published at Mike Caro’s original Poker1.com. The version below has been reformatted for the new Poker1.

  1. Cooooooolllll man. I would really like some odds for stud hi low 8. Like scooping odds for starting hands like, ace 2 3 suited or, 4 5 6 suited, or 4 5 suited, with a non-suited 6, or gapped suited connectors. Thank you Mr.Caro!.
