Hello everyone, Have you ever heard about a nu 4 cards poker called BADUGI? i've senn it on carbon poker and it's really cool!!! it's a particular form of triple draw lowball where you should have 4 different suits, no pairs and the lowest cards. If you don't u have to discard a bad card so you have a 3 cards hand and so on. a 4 cards hand always beats a 3 cards hand.

Pot Limit Badugi can be played at poker.com also .. they usually have a 50 $ Badugi freeroll each night ...
Best Badugi hand you can hold ((the suits don't matter as long as they are different)) :
A 2 3 4
the idea is to have 1 of each cards , 1 spade , 1 diamond , 1 club and 1 heart .... thats a badugi hand --- the lower the better .... lowest badugi hand wins .. if noone has badugi .. then the best 3 low cards win ... quite easy actually
Badugi was originated in Korea and moved to west during the last two years. There are also claims that Badugi is originated from a similar European game.
Badugi is similar to triple draw four card game where the low-hand wins. Don't panic if you are not familiar with triple draw as Badugi is very straight forward and easy to learn.
Players get several chances to exchange your cards for new ones. There are betting rounds after each time players draw cards. The betting structure is based on the game (limit, pot limit, or half-pot limit). The best hands are the low hands. Players only use four cards and therefore the evaluation system is different than the one used for Texas
Badugi (also known as Badougi or Padooki) is a draw poker variant similar to triple draw, but with differing hand values than traditional poker. The betting structure and overall play of the game is identical to a standard poker game, but unlike traditional poker which involves a minimum of five cards, players' hands contain only four cards at any one time. During each of three drawing rounds, players can trade zero to four cards from their hands for new ones from the deck, in an attempt to form the best badugi hand and win the pot. The object of Badugi is to win pots, the share of money put in by oneself and one's opponents during the hand. The winner of the pot is the person, who has not folded, with the best badugi hand at the conclusion of play (known as the showdown).

I've tried it again and i'm realizing it's more hard than i thought it was It's so hard to get 4 cards on 4 of different suits plus they have to be low!

This game is so good. I mean when you see how many cards your opponents drawed you can guess what is he holding... Obviously if he draws 4 cards he doesn't have a hand. Sometimes it's hard but exciting game. try it out.

best hand is A234 of different suits. the lowest wins. remember that if u have a pair or 2 cards of the same suit u have to discard 1 card so u have a 3 cards hand which is always worse than a 4 cards hand even TJQK
great game indeed and it's has been a long time I did not play it as I play only at Full Tilt and PokerStars and they both don't have it there
