The pain is so deep, so intense, that I cannot comment. I can only post the facts, and hope you understand. (Non-razz players need read no further. You cannot know. Just kindly avert your gaze from my pitiable state of agony, and move on.)

Boils all over the body? Family being killed off? Those are nothing--bring 'em on. If God had really wanted to hurt Job, he would have forced him to play razz.
The illustration above, incidentally, is a depiction of a face in pain, another fine piece by the remarkable neurologist, Charles Bell, about whom I wrote a bit here. I found it on this page, which is part of the UCLA biomedical library's site devoted to a 1998 symposium/art exhibit they put on devoted to the history of understanding and treating pain. Interesting stuff.

I would've dumped the hand at the open pair. I play super tight at razz, mostly because people try and give their money away. No reason to try and catch up. You were behind even that made q almost the whole way.
Can't fold on 4th street given pot odds even with the open pair. You just got unlucky. It happens a lot at Razz...and it is very, very painful.
Perhaps. I dunno, I think there are many more +EV spots to put your money in. And it is very painful to brick out in razz, unlike other stud games. Sometimes you can back into another hand, like in Stud or Stud8. But razz, when you brick, you really build a house. Oh, and when you are building a hand history, use the model (xx)xxxx(x)
It makes it much easier to read. Thanks! Good Stuff!
