For those of you that are new to the online poker arena, you may have noticed a few games in your player admin that you’ve never played before.
Badugi is almost certainly one of those games.
If you’ve ever wondered how to play Badugi, you can check out the rules of Badugi if you want, but here are the basics of it:
- four card poker game
- lowball poker
- triple draw
- four rounds of betting
- best hand is A-2-3-4 of different suits
- no community cards
Another tid-bit:
“If no player has a badugi (ie they have a pair or they have 2 cards of the same suit) then one card of their pair or same suit doesn’t count so player with the best three or two card hand wins. So 5-6-9-K beats A-2-3-3 and 6-7-7-8 beats A-A-2-2.”
If you’re like me, you don’t really have any problem pulling brutal hands. Maybe this is the game for you. Check it out in the CarbonPoker admin.
Like kimchi, Badugi comes from Korean descent — unlike kimchi, Badugi keeps me at the tables, not the bathroom.
