I havn't played it but I think the hand rankings go like this: (not sure, so don't hate!)

A hand can consist of 1, 2, 3, or 4 cards. Any 4 card hand beats any 3 card hand, any 3 card hand beats any 2 card hand, etc.

A hand is determined by throwing away multiple suits or pairs. For example 2s 5d 9h 6s is a 3 card hand because the 6 must be thrown away. 2s 7d 10s 10d is a 2 card hand, a 10 must be taken from the pair, but there is also 2 spades and 2 diamonds so one of each must be taken away, leaving you with a hand of 2s 7d.

From there the best low hand wins.

I am not sure if this is right, but I took a shot at it. Go google it

check out one of the sites that offer it. (I think Full Tilt has it) They usually tell how to play their games. then go to play tables and play. It really is a fun game,but takes a lot of practice. I learned the hard way not to play for real money.

Full Tilt doesn't have it. Here go to this page and read about it:

Badugi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is played on Porker Nordica and affiliate sites and is basically
low hand of four cards wins, with a three draws.

The lowest and best hand is

1h 2s 3d 4c (each off suited) .

Next best is
1h 2s 3d - 4d ( the lowest of 3 unsuited pair wins
if tied for the three offsuits
the fourth card lowest wins)
(if no one has the four off (badugi))

great game to got to when you find your getting crap hands at holdem
