November 24
Today, UK online casino
company, Tribeca Tables
Poker Network, revealed its
launch of a new game called
Badugi Poker. Online casino
poker players are always
looking for something new,
this just may be it.
The
Tribeca Network and all
their well-known online
casino and online poker
sites will be the only poker
network to offer this new
and exciting game. Tribeca
Tables is also known for
their fresh approach to
enhansing online poker play.
Like
most online poker games,
Badugi Poker is a game of
skill. With this new online
poker game, it is not
immediately obvious that a
player has a strong hand,
making the game more
intreaging.
Badugi Poker is very popular
in the Far East,
particularly in South Korea.
It is also gaining ground in
the US, where some
Californian based casinos
hold live Badugi
tournaments. It is a very
fascinating game; but the
origins of Badugi are a bit
of a mystery. It is said
that it was invented in
Korea and for many years it
was known as Paduki in both
single-draw and triple-draw
versions. In key US cities
predominantly where there
are large Korean
communities, Badugi has been
the past-time for decades.
However it is now spreading
main-stream and with
accessibility of online
poker rooms, Badugi is set
to be the next big thing in
poker!
Pronounced "Bu-doo-gee".
Unlike Texas Hold'em, this
poker game is a triple draw
lowball variety of poker.
Each player is dealt 4 cards
and they must make their
lowest possible hand over 3
draws. You exchange higher
rank cards with the dealer
for lower cards if possible.
It is a lowball game where
Ace is low and therefore the
best possible hand is A234
in all different suits.
