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 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.
