As if we needed further proof that the apocalypse is on us, PokerStars has opened badugi tables. Dozens of previously respectable players have flocked from the corners of the pokerverse. And wow, they play bad. I have been sorely tempted to teach my 7-year-old badugi, but my wife is Irish and... Read More
A call came in a few months ago on a Wednesday. “Hey, Doc, we got a badugi game Friday. Come play. Blinds start at $200-$400. Should be a full table.†The game had been going for a couple of weeks. Several of the regulars were familiar to me. They were players, guys who had paper ... Read More
Badugi - the latest game to hit the high limit mix games, home games, and eventually the internet. This unique draw game has some sort of mysterious aura around it, probably stemming from the fact that there is no literature on the game whatsoever to turn to for advice. The... Read More
Struggling for something to fill that void in your life post black friday? Ever wonder what I’d be like if I wasn’t droning on endlessly about ranges, developing reads and taking notes?! Missing that empty feeling of drinking with strangers on the internet? Do you miss talking almost about poker and getting sidetracked? Then our* new** podcast maybe for you!

Here is one for the “know when you’re beat†series. Remember the villain who I posted about making a great read that I had his 6 low badugi beat? Same villain here in this hand. I know this guy, he’s very tight and had I taken even two seconds to stop and ask myself what his raise meant I’d have tossed the hand. Soon as he flipped it over I realized WHO it was and thought “y ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/23581-Should-have-been-an-easy-fold-">(continued)</a>
Carbon poker’s $200 badugi pot limit freeroll is tough. I took a few days off from it because I’d been going deep again and getting frustrated with coming up empty handed. Went 121/1896 today and I’m glad I’m able to consistently go deep but I need to figure out if my strategy needs to change somewhere or if it’s luck or wtf… I’ve tried ultra tight and that wasn’t really w ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/23551-Carbon-poker-PL-Badugi-freeroll">(continued)</a>
How to play Badugi! Badugi is a lowball variant of poker and as such is played like any other variant in it’s class of triple draw poker. If you’re not familiar with triple draw poker don’t worry it’s easy to catch on from an example but I do assume you have at least a basic understanding of common poker terms. If not please go bone up at the wiki or some other resource as there are plenty of ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/23511-Badugi-Poker-101">(continued)</a>
There is a lot of BS floating around this planet of ours. Such a limitless supply that if we could bottle and burn it as fuel, this rock we live on just might be Ok till the sun decides to swallow us whole or some humungo feral space rock feels we looked at it funny so he’s gonna headbutt downtown New York.

My breaking badugi post showed a hand with break value but I didn’t really talk much about that. I figured most people will look at the hand and see what I’m talking about. I should not assume that’s the case. I had The 3 card hand within that, 642x is a good drawing hand. Ok Bob but we have a badugi so who cares if it has good draws? Well my good reader, YOU do. What is the object of the gam ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22701-Breaking-Badugi-2">(continued)</a>
This hand happened last night after my post and it’s an example of break strength. When I raised here I fully expected a fold or two. Not only do I not get any folds but UTG takes 3 and the SB comes along to draw 2 every street. The reason I left the names in is so a certain someone can see the hand. The BTN questioned my play saying “what a weird thing to do.. stand pat, raise and then draw†a ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22631-Breaking-Badugi">(continued)</a>
This is not going to be so much a starting hands article as it is about hand selection, the importance position and what I like to call “the tableâ€. I never really noticed the table till I started playing badugi. I’ve seen sort of the effect I’m talking about in other casino games but not poker. Schooling is part of “the table†effect.

I’m 43 years old. Nobody alive today has grown up with video games more than I have. I had many of the first video games to be released to the public. We had pong the week it came out. I had this tank battle game you probably never saw that was damn close to the first one out in the arcades. Had 4 joysticks…was kinda cool for its time. I don’t know why really because he just never struck me ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22501-A-mouse-takes-a-profit-">(continued)</a>
BTW – I think those times when someone gets sucked out on with a 432Ar when holding something like 532A should be called getting tea bagged because you get slapped in the face with DA NUTS .
Ok I really want to talk about some hands but I need to come clean first. You might be asking yourself, who is this guy and what has he ever done that he thinks he can talk about badugi poker? I’m nobody from nowhere. The best things I’ve ever done with anything related to poker was being the 997th person eliminated out of an even 1000 entrants in the first ever Foxwoods casino empl ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22231-Who-are-you-and-what-do-you-know-">(continued)</a>
Let’s quit grinning and drop the linen! If you think play money is all chuckles and donks take a look at this hand. I’m in dealt 2Axx (K52A) in the SB with two limpers in front of me. Villain who I know from previous sessions (a few hes not a regular) to be fairly tight is in the BB. I should raise here but it’s only a few hands in and experience tells me it’s better to be a lil passi ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22221-Let-s-look-at-a-Badugi-hand">(continued)</a>
Ok so maybe aliens brought you here…idk…but if you’re reading my blog and asking yourself WTF is badugi? well here ya go… Badugi is a 4 card, triple draw lowball variant of poker with a bit of a twist. Two twists really. A is low, not very twisty but then it’s not one of the twists smart guy, pairs are only counted as one card and SUITS MATTER . If you’re totally confused here is the simp ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22021-WTF-is-Badugi-">(continued)</a>
I’m finding that if you’re part of the small percentage of people who actually enjoy playing Badugi you probably love the game. Otherwise you hate it. It’s that kind of game. It’s a ton of fun but if you let it the game can REALLY get under your skin. If you’re twisted enough to be here reading then yesterday was a good day for you becau ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/432a/22011-gibralter11-wins-2010-SCOOP-04-H-1575-00-FL-Badugi-event-at-PokerStars-">(continued)</a>
Well maybe I’m wrong I just looked at the (L) event the $25K and its down to 500ish. Must be a LOT of fish entered.
Hi I’m Bob. I’m a big fan of the game Badugi and glad to be here at DC with the only people really discussing the game. I had a nice long first post done and then without thinking edited the blog details and lost the post… Check back here for Badugi information as once I get un-pissed at myself I’ll be adding some lol.
