Default HL Badugi hand, I lack balls, line check.

$1/2 HL game, Ive never seen any of these guys playing before so no reads, SB starts hand with $160, button has $200 and I cover.

I raise to 4$ UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], button calls as do both blinds.

SB draws 2, BB draws 3, button stands pat.

I make A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], blinds check to me I bet $8, button and SB call.

SB draws 1,I stand pat, button stands pat.

During the hand I kept thinking button was slowrolling me, or maybe being cautious with a better hand, but looking at this now it seems there is very little slowplaying in this game, standard line to pot it and rap pat 2nd draw because button is almost always rougher?

I'd checkraise button after the first draw. He has to bet here doesn't he? I'd never break this vs a pat all the way guy online.

I've also lost a ton against those type of guys. with clean T high baduggis. And then there are the guys who value 1/2 pot this crap on the river forcing me to fold my 9 high.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] this game. Just when I thought it was beatable in 1/2 pot limit form I now realize its not. But its more fun than blackjack so LETS GAMBLE!

Having played it a bit more recently, I really don't get Badugi. It's like triple draw but not as good of a gambling game. It's such a nitty game compared to triple draw.

Badugi limit is a great game, Badugi 1/2 pot limit is kinda lame. I'm over it too. Time for something new and exciting I can suck at.... PLO! You can stack me anytime Donkey, I know your good for it!

I agree re limit vs. HPL. In HPL it's a race to be pat first. In limit you can actually draw to a hand.

We played 20/40 mix at Commerce yesterday - TDL, badugi, stud/8, O/8. I still think Badugi is bad even in limit form. Very mechanical, and rock tight is correct strategy. Though I did beat a pat initial hand after drawing 3 on the first draw.
