Today, UK online poker company, Tribeca Tables
Poker Network, announced the launch of a new game called Badugi Poker.
Online poker players are always looking for something new, this 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.
