How to win with a full house--in Razz!

I started off with an unraiseworthy A-6-A, intending just to steal, since nobody raised before it got to me. I got only one caller, and when he paired on 4th street, I was more confident that the steal would work. But my lone opponent was having none of it. We both ended up with full houses, but mine was lower, which, in Razz, is better.

wow, maybe I have a chance at razz after all, since I have gotten more rolled sets in razz than any other stud based game

It's kinda hard to steal the antes when your opponent raises and you flat call him. Nice pot tho, and keep working at the game since you seem to really enjoy it :)

My intention was to steal on 4th if he caught bad--which he did.
