Reading hands in some Pockerstars.com games can be considered difficult because you have no idea what any of your opponents pocker stars cards may be, in the case of Razz some of your opponents cards are open and visible to the other players, for this reason it makes it easier to get a feel for how strong a hand you might be up against.
You could look at an opponents board cards in Razz and know at the end of the hand approximately what hand your opponent has made, having said this where there are cards face down in a hand there is room for error to an extent. If your pocker opponent has an open board of (5,6,Q,K) for instance their hand may not look very strong really but if their hidden cards are (A,2, and, 3) then they make a 6 low hand, which is a strong hand to beat. in some circumstances of course your open cards may show low cards but you might have high cards hidden, if your open cards are better than your opponents though, it is worth raising to try and force them off the hand.
This can especially be the case when a good card hits your board and a bad card hits theirs, in reality you might only have 10 low, but if your open cards look the strongest, often you can bluff a www.pockerstars.com opponent out.
The important thing to remember is that open cards will always give you a better indication of what sort of hand your opponent has than anything else in this game. Study them carefully and work out the possibilities on each round of betting and other than that, try not to chase small cards too much, if you are probably behind, throw your cards in if a sizeable bet is made.
