you are absolutely right, sklanskys style is really..., well u know
but I don´t agree that razz is dead, actually it used to be my bread and butter game for quite a while. there are always good games going on at full tilt poker every night (although their ante structure sucks - way too high)
now absolute poker added razz to their games (with a
much better ante structure), and stars will follow soon with razz and h.o.r.s.e. ringgames, you can already test the beta version for play money
all in all this game is not very exciting for sure, it´s actually quite a grind - but with the right opponents it is very profitable (as every game of poker, lol).
