Each player is dealt 4 cards in a clockwise direction starting from the player on the Small Blind. Cards are dealt to each player one card at a time. Once everyone has their 4 cards the action begins with the player to the left of the Big Blind and continues around the table in a clockwise direction. Badugi can be played as either a Limit game, a Pot Limit game or even a Half Pot Limit game. All bets are made in incremental units. On Rounds 1 and 2 a player can bet the lower level bet. On Rounds 3 and 4 players can bet the higher level bet. Betting is capped at 4 bets per round. In Pot Limit Badugi players can raise any amount at any stage, ranging from the minimum bet up to how much is already in the pot. E.g. if the pot is comprised of the small blind($2), the big blind ($4), and one caller ($4), then the next active player can bet any amount from $4 up to the total value of the current pot, in this case the maximum bet would be $18. ($2 + $4 + $4 + $4). All bettors can raise the pot by the total value of the current pot as it stands when it is their turn to act. So in Pot Limit Badugi there is no limit to the amount of betting allowed on any particular round, as opposed to it being capped in the Limit version. The same rules apply to Half Pot Limit Badugi as they do to Pot Limit Badugi. The only exception is that the maximum a player can raise is the value of half the current pot. E.g. if the pot is comprised of the small blind ($2), the big blind ($4), one caller ($4), the next player to act can bet any amount from $4 up to a maximum of $11. ($2 + $4 + $4 + $4 /2) = 7. So it would be a call of $4 and a raise of $7, making a total bet of $11. So in this case the player can bet any amount from $4 to $11. Each player is dealt 4 cards, after which the first betting round ensues, based on the strength of each players initial 4 cards. The betting amounts will depend which variation of Badugi you are playing, Limit, Pot Limit or Half Pot Limit. First bet round: In this round the first player to act is the first participating player clockwise from the big blind. The player may fold, call, or raise. Each player in clockwise order is asked to bet, (call, raise, fold or check). Once everyone has had their turn and all bets are matched you move on to the First Draw. First draw round: Players are offered the opportunity to draw zero to four cards, clockwise from the first participating seat to the left of the dealer button. Players select which cards to keep and which to replace through a draw. Drawing zero cards is known as 'Standing Pat'. Second bet round: Once players have completed their first draws, the second betting round is held. Again, the bet increment uses the low stakes. Second draw round: Same as first draw round. Third bet round: Same as second bet round, only exception is that on this round the high stake is used for the betting increment. Third draw round: Same as second draw round, applying reshuffle of discards as is necessary. Final bet round: The final betting round follows the same rules, using the high stake and leads to a showdown if more than one player remains standing. Showdown: It's time to show your hand and see who won. The winning player scoops the pot! The showdown rules follow those of Hold'em. In brief, the player whose last bet is called, if there is one, shows cards first. If there is no last aggressor, showdown begins from the first participant holding cards, clockwise from the dealer button. As hands are shown, players with losing hands may muck or show, similar to Hold'em options.

nice explanation, just neglected to mention the object of the game.You are trying to make the best low hand in 4 different suits. The best hand is A234 rainbowIf you have a paired card by rank or suit, you only have a 3 card hand, and are beaten by any 4 card handfor example :card_spades_3:would lose to hope that helps

it's a pretty sick game as alot of time when you play with people who don't know the game, any 4 card hand is usually good. I absolutely love the **** out of this game.

the way that I phrased that question makes me sound like a total idiot but I figured people would get the drift. I love to play it in my home dealers choice game... that's where I kill people. I wasn't claiming to pat a hand with like kqj10, but there are plenty of times that is good against a a236 who has two of the same suit and wasn't paying close enough attention...just saying
