Default Re: Badugi resources online?

Slightly off topic, how come there are rarely low limit 'other games' played live even though the pool of players is larger? I'd love to play some badugi live, but the smallest game I've ever heard is 10/20.

Because most low limit players are fish and fish don't know any poker theory so they wouldn't want to play a game besides texas hold'em since they think they know how to play that game.

Also its a cycle, there are no low limit mix games so low limit players don't feel a need to learn how to play mix games, rinse, repeat.

At high limits the fish aren't like "badugi fish" they are just rich guys who want to play a big game and if its a mix game fine, sometimes they know how to play and sometimes they have no clue. I played 400/800 triple draw with a guy who 4 bet the river and proudly showed down Aces full. As you can imagine, this phenomenon is better than if there were "badugi fish" in a similar way to "holdem fish".
