Planet Poker now has Badugi

I'm not kidding. Just fixed limit with tables from $0.05/$0.10 to $1/$2. I just sat at a $0.25/$0.50 table. There is also a $0.05/$0.10 table going. They also have play chip games.

Ha wow.

And they are having a Badugi MTT tonight! $2+0.20 at 10:20 PM ET, 30 players maximum.

They also just had a scheduled single table Badugi tournament. It started at 7:45 PM ET with one table of 6 players. $5+0.50. I won (*brag*) and grossed $21. I've played very little Badugi, but I don't think anyone else had either. Between my triple draw experience, playing position, remembering it's hard to make a badugi, and excellent card catching, I was able to win.

I'm going to play the $2 Badugi MTT at 10:20 PM Eastern. Hopefully I can make it 2-for-2.

Not to change the subject, but how are you withdrawing your money from Planet? They don't have much in the way of options.

I saw that today. Currently the only way to withdraw from Planet is Neteller if you aren't American, Click2Pay (if you have that), or a wire transfer for a ridiculously high fee. I emailed and they told me that they will have ePassporte soon and a new check processor soon for paper checks. Obviously a sucky situation and I can't recommend starting a new account at this time. The badugi action is awfully thin, anyway.

Planet now has ePassporte.

They had a couple of scheduled single table tourneys yesterday. I entered 2 and (*brag*) won both, so I'm 4-for-4 in these little tourneys. There doesn't seem to be a consistent schedule yet. They also have $2 Badugi SNGs available-good luck filling one.
