Anyone heard of this game or know where to get info on how to play it?

uh, you can't find anything on the net about it? My friends church actually has a pinocle night... I always used to play with my grandparents.

Not pinochle, (PEE-nukuhl), I'm talking about "puh-NO-kee"

ah, see what I get for skipping the phonetic spellings?

You might be thinking of badoogie (sometimes, padookie or other phonetic spelling).

Badoogie is to flushes what lowball is to high cards: you get four cards, best hand is low cards, no matching suits. It's usually played triple-draw. Google for more info.

Pinochle rocks. I prefer double deck, no nines, either partners or cutthroat.

I think the poster might be talking about something else, but the spelling he used is awfully close to pinochle.

p.s. don't play pinochle for money with any old people or you will probably lose.

Do a search of the WPT forum for "padoogie."
