Badugi not allowed in vegas - why??
On the Cardplayer.com video coverage interview with Raymer playing a cash game with Forrest, Phan and others, he said they were playing a 300/600 mixed game: Triple Draw 2-7, Omaha H/L, Stud H/L 8 or better, and "4 card triple draw rainbow" because Badugi is not allowed in Vegas so they call it that. Why is it not allowed - curious...

What is Badugi? Some crazy home game variant? I'm not picking up on the rainbow reference in conjunction with this 4-card game- are you drawing to 5? Do flushes and straights not count?

They actually played this on a high limit Live at the Bike broadcast with John Hennigan playing (he destroyed the table by the way) It goes something like this... dealt 4 cards (I already may be wrong!!), you draw with betting rounds in between, and very simply the lowest hand with 4 different suits wins. If there are no hands with 4 different suits, the best 3 card combo wins. Ac2dJsKh would beat A23 rainbow. Something kinda like that. Gosh, now I think I know why it's not allowed in Vegas. It's too wacky. Apparently the swings are huge. Actually I think there was a post by Fossilman explaing the game somewhere on here.....

Its a 4 card triple draw lowball game except that the best hands must have 1 of each suit.

Its a pretty popular varient actually. (maybe because you can play it with more people/table than traditional tripledraw?) |

Now there's a good description.

Here's a link to a brief strategy guide to Padooki. (I think this is how its actually spelled)

Here, linky linky linky!
Where are you, cute little linky?

Badugi and Padooki are the same game?
Crazy stuff. Why would a casino allow this kind of crap?
They have a tough enough time getting dealers trained for the normal games [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |
