ONLINE BADUGI

 

Badugi Poker probably originated in Korea, but it is now played at many casinos worldwide and online. Unlike many online casino games, it is played against other players rather than a bank, with most hands ending when all but one player has folded rather than going to showdown, just like in most forms of poker. Badugi Poker is enjoyed by many due to its different hand rankings and the strategy required over multiple draws in order to outplay opponents.

HOW TO PLAY BADUGI

First of all, Badugi Poker uses blinds, so the player to the right of the dealer has the big blind, equal to the minimum bet, and the player to the right of the big blind has the small blind, equal to half the minimum bet. These players must ante up the correct blind amount before play begins.

Once the blinds are out, each player is dealt 4 cards and there is a pre-draw betting round, beginning with the player to the left of the big blind. Each player may call, putting out an amount equal to the highest bet so far, check if they have already put out an amount equal to the highest bet, fold to lose their cards and any stake in the pot, or raise by putting out more than the current highest bet. Once the last raiser has been called or checked by everyone, play moves on to the first draw.

Each player, starting with the first player to the left of the dealer who is still in the pot, may discard as many or as few of their cards as they like, and receive that same amount of replacement cards. The replacement cards are dealt before the next player discards their own cards. Cards are not reshuffled into the deck.

The players now have another round of betting, followed by another draw, then another round of betting, followed by a final draw round and one last round of betting. If at any point only one player has not folded, they win the pot. If the final round of betting ends in a call, however, all remaining players show their cards and the person with the highest ranked hand wins the pot.

The dealer, big blind and small blind all move to the left, and a new hand can be dealt.바둑이사이트
