Like every other poker variation, Badugi has its specific strategies. After the final betting round, the showdown ensures to determine the winner.
The process repeats two more times, so there are, in total, four rounds of betting and three drawing rounds, during which players try to make the best hand or convince others they have the goods. After the initial round of betting, players get an option to draw, at which point they can replace anywhere between one to all four cards (or they can return none, staying pat).
The game is played with blinds (like Texas Hold’em) but is a draw game. When two or more players hold Badugis, the one with the lowest card at the top wins, for example, a 5-7-8-9 beats a 2-3-5-10 Badugi. Holding any four cards of different suits means you have a Badugi, which can beat any other hand with only three or fewer unpaired cards of different suits. All four cards must be different (unpaired) and of different suits. The best possible hand you can have is A-2-3-4, but there is a catch. It belongs to the lowball poker group, so the goal is to have the best low hand at the showdown. Late registration is open for the first nine levelsĪlthough it never caught on as one of the popular mainstream variants, Badugi is quite entertaining.The late registration will remain open for the first nine levels, and one re-entry is allowed per player. It will be a one-day affair, allowing for more flexibility.
The tournament in question is Event #20, on Jun 7. This is not the case for the first-ever Badugi tournament, as players can get a shot at the bracelet for just $1500. In the past, newly added tournaments often had a fairly steep buy-in, especially when featuring less popular variations.
