Thursday Night Razz Cash Game : Surflexus

You can find us most Thursday nights on Full Tilt playing some Razz at the low limit cash tables. This past Thursday was a fun time. I established a loose image and used this image to my advantage. This type of play can be dangerous but it can also be profitable if managed properly. Here are some of my favorite hands of the night with my thoughts:
