Congratulations to your good finish and do not worry about one mistake. That happens. Nice to see someone doing well in Badugi. I personally do not like this game, because you can never be sure how good your own hand really is.

Cheers mate well done keep up the good work i never managed to understand the other cards variants sometimes it is hard to keep track of all the plays and the strategies and all , so i gave up on them , all cards game i know to play are PLO and the standard texas and i am not good a it lol, anyway keep it up man have fun and make a lot of money playing the variant, field is weak and you can make lot of money!

Badugi is a game that i wouldnt pay even a couple of cents to play in a real money game, either it is ring or tournament It is good for a freeroll though from time to time. Congratulations on your win monsieur
I am not sure what to say here but would you care to elaborate a little more what were those mistakes you made on the final table. Badugi is sure an obscure game, but most triple draws are actually fun to play because of variance IMO.

I had 3 nice low cards and did not it on the first draw but i bet and the other guy raised and i called the next draw i dont konw wht i thought i stand path but the other guy was all in i took one card last draw did not it and lost the hand. I think that first mistake was to bet after the flop and second one not take a card on the draw maybe i would not have it but maybe yes.

I have never had any luck in badugi games. But this is not the reason why I do not like it. It is just the fact, that it is very hard to evaluate the strength of your own cards unless you are getting dealt A234 in different colors.

I do not think that your main mistake was the bet after the first draw. The big mistake is to call the raise, because often it means, that someone already has quite a good badugi. The bet is OK to find out if he has a hand.
