Title: Badugi Strategy Post by: rossfourfive on December 26, 2008, 02:17:43 PM Does anyone know good Badugi strategy?
I've started playing it on stars and think its a quality game but not sure of the best way to play it. If you get dealt K-lo Q-lo or J-lo Badugi do you raise it? What lo should we be drawing to? Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: Thekellster89 on December 26, 2008, 04:00:48 PM stand pat imo

Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: Cf on December 30, 2008, 02:08:58 AM My strategy when playing this live in a dealer's choice game is to just fold (unless i get dealt an awesome hand) - this game scares the hell out of me, especially the sizes the pots can reach in it.

It's ofen included in DC Games, but I often just "sit out", as I prefer poker-based variants. The Pots get monsta-big.

Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: snoopy1239 on December 30, 2008, 01:45:08 PM Badugi was a popular game in the Gala cash games, but like tikay, I tended to sit it out or play a nuts only game, mainly because I wasn't aware of the optimum way to play the game. That, of course, assumes an element of skill in Badugi, which I sense is very little.

Only played it in micro stakes sngs and maybe i'll steer clear of cash. Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: Cf on December 30, 2008, 02:19:50 PM The problem I had with it was it was always played as PL rather than FL. If it was FL then maybe I'd give it ago. The problem when playing it PL tho is every draw someone's bound to say "pot", and get multiple callers, resulting in ridic big pots, such that if you want your hand to go to showdown you'll usually have put all you have in front of you in. In a live game it's certainly not for the faint hearted.
And yeah, it isn't even poker. Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: rossfourfive on December 30, 2008, 03:26:31 PM The problem I had with it was it was always played as PL rather than FL.

Played a PL tournament and it was wild, like watching a play money sng. Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: Jon MW on December 30, 2008, 03:38:35 PM Badugi is definitely a skill game

Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: redsimon on January 03, 2009, 01:49:20 PM I'm curious upon what basis the people wish to exile badugi from the poker family justify their claim. Probably because its only a four card game and most see poker as a best hand of five cards from 7 (holdem, omaha, Stud, lowball, razz etc)? It is really about position tho' when played PL, those Notts Gala games could get crazy esp. when we played "picture" padooki Title: Re: Badugi Strategy Post by: rossfourfive on January 04, 2009, 09:18:59 PM Badugi is definitely a skill game PokerStars Tournament #125277192, Limit Badugi Buy-In: $2.00/$0.20 168 players Total Prize Pool: $336.00 Tournament started 2008/12/14 21:15:00 CET [2008/12/14 15:15:00 ET] Dear Jon MW, You finished the tournament in 1st place.
