How is Razz Different From Stud Poker?

"Next card comes out; looks like this person might have a five-low. This player probably has a six-low. This will be a time one player might try to push another one off the hand. If I have this hand showing or this hand showing I'm going to bet. The reason is, if for example, this person has and ace-queen in the hole, with that pair of aces and that queen, they're running out of chances to even get a qualifying hand. So if I'm over here and I bet, I might push them out of their hand. Then again they may not know what you and I know about Razz poker. They may think that they can draw out. Sixth street comes, there's a seven, and there's an eight. Most likely this person has an eight low if they don't have a pair and this person has a seven low. As it turns out, we've got king-seven in the hole. So my hand right now is a king -low. I'm definitely going to bet again and try and push this guy off of his hand. Doesn’t happen. We deal the last down card and we see what happens. First of all, I’m going to bet again and try to push this guy out. Let's see what this guy has. Well you know what; he wound up with two pair. If I bet here, he's going to fold. So it's a good idea for me to bet. Me, well we already knew I had a qualifying low, with a king-seven in the hole and only one pair. As it turns out I did make a low hand. So even if I don't push my opponent off the hand my ten low wins. So you see my hand, this pair doesn't play because it's only one pair, a ten-seven-four-deuce-ace. That’s known as a ten low. "
