Badugi Poker

It is like razz in the respect that the lowest cards win. Like razz, straights and flushes have no impact. However, having what I guess you could call the opposite of a flush, all four cards of different suits, gives you a Badugi. A Badugi will trump any other low cards out there.

For instance, if I've got Kc Qd Jh 9s and you have Ah 2h 3h 4c, then I would win becuase I have a Badugi and you don't.

If no one had a Badugi, then the player with the four lowest cards wins.

If 2 or more players have a Badugi, then the player with the lowest Badugi wins. For example:

Player 1 has - Ad 2c 3s 6h

Player 2 has - Ac 2d 3h 5s

Player 2 wins because she/he's got the lowest Badugi.

Badugi also differs from Razz in that Badugi is a Draw game, where Razz is a Stud game.

In Badugi, everyone is dealt in, followed by a round of betting. That is then followed by 3 rounds of drawing and betting, followed finally by the showdown.
