just sat down 100£ 3 hands ago with out playing anything
in the blinds in paduki/badugi delt 8762 paduki

couple of limpers
button who was big stack had 1kish reg pretty solid doesnt get out of line that much
pot it to 12

10 for me to call.

shall i repot it?
or just raise?
or just flat?

Raise all day long. Even if he's a rock u still want to get your £100 in ASAP.

And is paduki/padooki definitely not badugi ;)

thats what stars call it as
i have always known it as paduki

as if it makes a difference

they are 2 different games

id advise you to find out which 1 yr playing before you sit down

He's right Paul.

Make sure you know because like he says they are 2 different games.

As for the hand if I'm dealt an 8 I'm happy getting the lot in as soon as possible playing a small stack. If someone's drawing make them pay to hit.

Pop it up to 30 now. Button will call then you jam it in whether he pulls a card or not.

Short stack padooki is easy. Don't over complicate it.

whats the difference?

ok ok i pot he jams and i call

i pat and he pats

what would you do now?
8762 isnt that strong

well on the internet it isnt that strong
but i havent played this game for about 3 years
do i just hope that my 8 beats his made paduki

An 8 dealt is that strong. You are ahead more than you are behind. Ship the lot in regardless and expect him to roll over a 10 more than a 7. You have position by the sounds of it. If he stands pat 1st change, he might break 2nd change, could be just seeing what you do.

Yep ;)

You can't pass an 8 pre (for £100), you can't draw to your hand very well. Just hope your on the right side this time.

To find out follow this simple process:

Q. Am I in USA? If yes, you are playing Badugi
Q. Am I in UK? If yes, you are playing padooki.

Q. Are you in a different country? I don't have a clue.

Padooki is pot limit Badugi is limit.

Padooki and Badugi have different hand rankings. But the nuts and the drawing objectives are the same, hence the confusion.

The starting hands are much closer in padooki than badugi. If you start drawing behind in badugi you are much more likely to remain behind by the end.

You should be playing a lot tighter in Badugi. Also Padooki is the ultimate positional game. Badugi isn't nearly so positional (due to it being limit).

he has position on me
we patted all the way down?

how light would u be calling aipf with? jack paduki?
surely he would know he is behind after the 2nd pat?

I've seen kings queens and jacks patted all the way. Even flushes in the hope the other person breaks. You have more chance of winning by standing pat and your hand being good than breaking it on the 3rd change and probably missing any draw you might have.

Also, you have an 8762 padooki, it's not like you can draw (you need to take 2 cards to improve really) unless you put him on a better 8.

He might have a JT9X padooki or something he CAN'T break. You never know. If this is the 1st time you've played the game there too, he might have ANY padooki and hope you don't know how to play.

I would be putting it all in pre with a 9 or a 10 for definite, probably a jack too. There are exponentially more 9s 10s and Js than 8s 7s 6s etc. Stand pat, cross your fingers. Nothing more can be done IMO.

U win?

yes i won

but i was wondering what he would have jamed and pat with all the way down
i have played b4 but not in a long time.

in hull paduki is mad ppl just love to pot and pat with anything then pot the next street just coz they have position.

i think they cream their pants abit too much when they get any paduki


do you play alot then?
and where?

Always reraise... Hes probably opened up drawing with a hand like  Aspades 2h 4d Js or similar hand... obviously if he repots you back then you may be in trouble

you sure this was hull?

main difference in the two games is that in Badugi, if no "four card badugi" is made, then the best "three card hand" wins, therefore A23(rainbow) and any other card is the nuts if your opponents are still drawing cards.

 Ad 2h 3c Kc  >   Ahrt 2d 4c Qc

In the british pot limit version of the game, flushes (three suits over 4 cards) rank better than a paired hand so:

 Ad 2h 9c 6c  >  Ac 2s 2d 5h

As someone else rightly stated, in padooki you expect to win far more money on the button as it gives you a massive edge.

yeah lol well he did have a k stack

and i always see him there
