A Quick Razz Lesson From Matt Waxman

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

We hadn't seen Matt Waxman yet today, but we heard the sound of his voice rising just above the level of the rest of the room, and we honed in on the noise to locate him. "Wait, wait, what is this?!" Waxman was asking the cocktail server who was delivering his drink. The server had given him too much change, and Waxman went back to chattering at the table. He noticed us lurking, and he piped up in our direction.

"My table won't drink with me!" Waxman had a half-full beer in his cupholder, and he was looking around for another holder for the fresh beer he'd just been delivered. We made a comment that it looked like he was doing the drinking for the rest of the table, and he had the appropriate comeback ready. "It's razz," he said with a lecturing tone. "As long as you know that six is less than seven, you can play this game."
