PokerStars is now offering their customers a new game called Badugi. By offering Badugi in cash games, sit&gos and tournaments, PokerStars hope to attract as many players as possible to check out this new game.
Badugi (also known as Badougi, Paduki or Padook) is a draw poker variant similar to triple draw, but the hand values are similar to lowball. In Badugi each player get 4 cards face down. The player next to the big blind starts the first betting round and then it continues clockwise around the table. There are 4 betting rounds where you are offered to fold, check, call and raise. There are also 3 draw rounds until the fourth betting round where every player can change 0-4 cards.
In Badugi the best possible hand is A234 of four different suits and the worst hand is kkkk. Remember that your aim is to get as low hand as possible.
Example of hands:
Badugi - A four card hand with different suites and values - example: A389
3-card hand - A 3-card hand is a hand that has one card the same as another one, either by suite or value - example: TT43
2-card hand - A 2-card hand is a hand that has 2 cards the same as another 2, either by suite or value - example: AA89
1-card hand - 1-card hand is a hand when you have 4 cards of the same value/suite - example: QQQQ
yea holdem rocks. i grew up with 5-card draw, played it for many years and still enjoy it. but nl hold em is more exciting, and allthough it has easy rules its much more skill involved as in some other poker variations. badugi isnt that interresting, sounds more complicated...or maybe because i never played it.
yeah holdem rocks. I tried many games, even for a while did omaha very seriously but for me there is only 1 game, holdem. Best is No Limit, but i also like Fixed, Cap or Limit.
Funny little game. Stars is the first of the big boys who offers it. We will see how much traffic the tables will have there. If it is a success the other main sites will follow.
It's a funny game. I played it on Absolute Poker. There was a Badugi freeroll every night. It was fun. Once I reached the final table. This game is good for play poker, but something different than holdem...
4 cards game seems to be much more difficult, cause there are more opportunities to hit sth. on the board if there will be one... you have to calculate much more...
added to this well your chances to hit maybe are better but villain´s are too ; (
this is such a random game lol, looks like it could be fun, but is so weird and alien for me anyway, i agree play money first definitely, would be surprised if they get much traffic on the tables.
holdem is by far the more exciting but omaha hi/low gets my blood boiling it just seems so pointless i mean your both in the pot all the way to the end then you split it....wow thx... peace
Every game is cool guys, just have to be understood and i think badugi will take long long time .... by the way i live on full tilt and pacific poker now and don't wanna come ack to ps to play badugi
