Re: 3-6 limit badugi
I call the re-raise; MP calls.
Pat; pat; pat.
I check; MP checks; Button bets; call; call.
Pat; pat; pat. Check; check; check.
As Button checks out the last round, he says, "If I was called in two places on the last round, I'm beat."
I show my 8; muck; muck.
Button's comment well illustrates the plight of the badugi player. He may have been rough, but if he wasn't, he was drawing so thin that it was difficult to break a losing hand.
I misplayed this hand in many ways. The business of limit poker has to be extracting bets, and I did a poor job of it.
In retrospect, I like DD and CDC's lines of play. I don't really have a big problem with my bet/call after the first draw, but I needed to lead or check-raise the next betting-round. The only thing my opponents knew about my hand was that I was dealt a budugi. The median dealt badugi is a JT, and I had way better than that. I needed more information about my opponent's holdings, and the only way to get it would be by betting.
MP commented that he lost the minimum amount possible on his hand, and I have to agree with him.
