Where is the best place to play Razz? Which online site (that takes Americans)?

Pokerstars for the tournaments.

Fulltilt for the SNG's

Fulltilt for the cash games.

but both are good either way. I dont think there are any other site that accepts US players worth playing at if you are a razz fan

Hi,
In my humble opinion, it's FullTilt all the way, from A to Z.
2 reasons for this:

1- The bets are different. On PS, raising the ante only doubles the bet which makes it so people with average, borderline hands call. It makes it so the pot is smaller and you can't punish them for their mistake. I mean, I haven't analyzed mathematically if it's good or bad but I dislike it. You'll often get people with 6 or 7s to call and then magically beat your premium hand. They're hard to get rid of and it's hard to know if they have a good hand or not. My personal strategy is ground and pound so I bet and raise frantically, I need to know if I'm ahead or not.

2- This is an entirely personal feeling, you can probably disregard it, but I don't feel like Pokerstar's hand distribution works correctly. It seems like hands always even out between at least 2-3 players to create action, which combines with point #1. Out of all the times I've played on PS, I've managed to steal the antes a handful of times at most because people always have at least an average hand and call. Once again that screws up the ground and pound strategy since on FullTilt I steal antes (which are higher) frequently.

All in all, I prefer FTP's system where raising the ante means a 3-4x raise(depending on the limit).

It's just my opinion though.

Edit: I checked to make sure. For example, I picked a 2-4 table (because only those were being played) and the ante was 40 cents on FTP with a 50 cents bring in and 2$ completion, as opposed to 25 cents bring in and 1$ ante on PS with a 2$ completion. It may be a personal preference, I prefer FTP's system.

Groovy, thanks.
