Play Badugi
Badugi is a four card version of triple draw, lowball poker where you must try to have one card of each suit, and no pairs. If you are holding four different cards of four different suits then you are holding a Badugi! At the showdown the player with the lowest badugi wins, A-2-3-4 all different suits is the best hand.
In Badugi you need to bet (the value is limited) to draw your cards for 3 times, can discarding any number of cards in your hand, been dealt a new cards. The players has 3 options:
- fold the hand;
- call the big blind (bet equal to the big blind);
- raise (bet a higher amount)
NOTE: If no player has a badugi (they have a pair or they have 2 cards of the same suit) then one card of their pair or same suit doesn’t count so player with the best three or two card hand wins. So 5-6-9-K beats A-2-3-3 and 6-7-7-8 beats A-A-2-2.
