Badugi Poker - The Definitive Guide

 

The Definitive Guide to Playing Baidu By Ryan Eccl es –  This guide won't have you beating the biggest games in Vegas tomorrow but it will put you light years ahead of 99% of the players out there... With Baidu you can still sit down almost anywhere and you'll be at a good table if only hold'em was still like that!

The Rules Well we have to start somewhere. Traditionally played throughout Asia, Baidu is now with the aid of online poker spreading across Europe and the USA. There is no published literature on the subject; all the usual poker writers have not yet spread the secrets of the game. So now is clearly a great time to learn! If like most new players you are coming from a background of Hold’em and Omaha then Baidu will be most unlike any game you have played before. It is a form of draw poker in which the best hand contains 4 cards, 4 different suits and the overall lowest combination wins. Aces are low so the best hand in Baidu is A-2-3-4 of the 4 different suits. If you do not have 4 different suits then your lowest combination of 3 suits plays eh. A-2-3 is still quite a strong hand and will have showdown value in lots of situations. In the drawing rounds if you have A-2-3 and everyone else is drawing you have the nuts so bet aggressively! Pres Deal Forced blinds are paid in the same way as Hold’em or an Omaha game. The player to the left of the dealer will pay the small blind; the next player to the left will then pay the big blind. Baidu is usually played in limit, pot-limit or half pot limit. The Deal Each player is dealt 4 cards face down, starting with the small blind being dealt 1 card and then dealing continues clockwise until each player has 4 cards. Like Hold’em the first person to act is to the left of the big blind, if a player wants to play his hand he must either call the amount of the big blind or raise it. Once every player has had a chance to act then the first draw is dealt. Each player now has the option to change between 1 and 4 of their cards, which is again dealt face down. There is then a betting round, the 2nd draw, another betting round, the 3rd draw followed by the final round of betting. If the last bet is called there is then a showdown in which the player still.바둑이사이트

BADUGI STRATEGY GUIDE FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS

Imahe
    Badugi is still a relatively new poker game which was developed in South Korea and did not make its way to the west until recently. As a new game, Badugi strategy is still being developed, and not many articles exist on the topic. The strategy I’ll share here is one I’ve used successfully at PokerStars.com $3/$6 and $5/$10 Badugi games. I can’t speak about how well this Badugi strategy guide will work at the lower stakes, or the higher stakes, though I assume it will work similarly but will require some small adjustments. Badugi Strategy High Risk High Reward Winning Badugi strategy involves an aggressive, high risk approach to the game. You’ll often see Badugi strategy bloggers post about how the South Koreans play this game more aggressively than anyone else and how they’ll snow more often than other players. What most fail to mention is that South Koreans invented this game, have been playing it for years, and often give even good poker players a struggle. Everyone look...

Badugi Rules and Basic Strategy

Imahe
  Rules of the Game Badugi is Korean for a black and white spotted dog and the goal of the game is to get a hand with all different “spots”.  It is a triple draw low ball game where the players are each dealt four cards and the object of the game is to get the lowest hand possible with cards in different suits and of different ranks.  If you obtain a hand with four unpaired unsuited cards you have a badugi e.g T♣ 9♥ 5♦ 2♠. Aces are considered low, so the best possible hand is A 234 of all different suits (e.g A♣ 2♥ 3♦ 4♠) and is called a four high badugi or just a four badugi.  If you do not have a badugi then your hand is considered “incomplete”.  There are varying degrees of incomplete.  If you have three unpaired unsuited cards (e.g. J♠ 8♠ 5♥ 2♣ or 8♠ 5♥ 2♣ 2♦) you have what is known as a three card badugi or tree hand.  The terminology is interchangeable and the hands shown are referred to as either a “three card eight” or an “eight high tree”.
