It's 4-card triple draw lowball, with the unique additional rule that an unpaired hand with four different suits beats any hand that doesn't have four different suits.

KsQdTh8c beats As2d3c5c.

If no one has an unpaired hand with four different suits, you go by the normal lowball rankings. Aces are low, pairs suck, and straights and flushes don't matter.

This is not how I heard the game explained. What I learned is that any 4-suit hand beats any 3-suit hand, any 3-suit hand beats any 2-suit hand, etc.

Thus Ah 2h 3h 4h loses not just to a badugi like Kh Qs Jc Td, but also to 2-suited hands like As 2s 9h Th.

But, I can find references to it explained both ways, you probably want to make sure you understand the rules at the game you are actually playing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
