haha

you're cool....

lol don't be a dick pplus :D!

I am afraid with the low traffic badugi has that it will become overly flooded with regs..

You should be v-betting almost any badugi after the last draw. I mean the probability of even hitting one if you have triple suit in the beginning is roughly 50% ;D Guess it's pretty transparent what you ahve, but most of these guys probably don't even know the rules. And even if they have a badugi, it's fairly likely to be smaller than yours.

cops you have to bet/call on river. if you had like 8 or 7 badugi then we might need to bet/raise/call but meh i guess that's player dependent.

Say we had a badugi preflop and ended up heads up. We stood pat and bet every street while getting our bet called every street. Assuming he discarded 1 card every single time, would we not want to check the last street with a high badugi (e.g. 9 or bigger)? We probably wouldn't beat anything that calls us. I do figure if we woke up with like a sick low badugi, then we should bet with the intention of 3betting.

Might be exploitable but people thinking past 1st level in badugi right now seems pretty lol

yea that is a stupid spot, i feel like when we are called at the end, we are rarely good. So let's see, if we check and our opponent bets i figure we also rarely good(against a standard player). So if our opponent has a worse hand, it's the same result. If our opponent has a better hand, by betting we lose a bet(assuming we fold to a raise) and by checking we may lose a bet. This is all quite vague. This is why I feel badugi is a very read dependent game. Initially, many players overvalue certain hands and our 8 and 9 hi badugis will take down more pots than we would against a more competent player. It's just as important to understand what goes through our opponents' minds as our own.

pplus is just rude - he's from germany

Thaanx for this strategy.

I play Badugi in tournaments a few years and can tell you:
- 3/4 of badugi players loose before 1-st break
- Players cannot fold badugi
- Play Strategy Basic strategy - 8max, but modified to 7max
- never bluff for first 85% time of tournament, start bluffing in ending phase
- in most hands A23 is better than A58J

Badugi is hard, but interesting game. Good luck

you're such an asshole sometimes, most of the time

hey guys, any of you still playing badugi? Just wanted to ask what is the best poker room to play this game at, preferably with good NL20 or NL10 traffic.

Also stupid question - what happens with the cards you discard? Do they go back in the deck? I thought they wouldn't, but there wouldn't be enough cards if all 8 players are playing and discarding..

amazing thread revival
time to learn another form of poker
