Badugi

Badugi (also known as badougi, paduki or padooki) is a draw poker variant that belongs to the lowball family of games. It is usually played six-handed, and uses a unique hand-ranking system where the goal is to make the lowest four-card hand with no pairs and no cards of the same suit.

Badugi features regular blinds and three drawing rounds during which players can exchange up to four cards to improve their holdings. Rounds of betting take place before the first draw and after each subsequent draw. The winner of the pot is either the player with the best hand at showdown, or the last remaining player in the hand.

Badugi is played in cardrooms worldwide, as well as on online platforms such as PokerStars.Since 2023, the WSOP has featured a $1,500 Badugi tournament, and it is also included in the WSOP Dealer's Choice and Triple Draw Mix events.
