Badugi

We here love this game. In PokerStars never ending quest to populate weird games that a talented player would never waste their time with it's one of the best I've seen in my decade long research.

I'm pretty sure there's no real money Badugi (called Bad for short from now on - because that's what it is.) I got involved in a 300+ tourney last night and actually finished in the money in something like 30ish.

Naturally the game had the requred amount of lack of random cards, but this game does cater to one of my superpowers. Superhuman patience. I hate feeding Internet poker on what they're doing wrong, but I'll say this anyway. Superhuman patience doesn't work so well on games with an ante. Bad doesn't. This allows me to linger on watching AI raise and beat themselves to death. I sneak in, stare at your sister's boobs (not that great, AI tits are pretty small) win my statiscally unreasonable 12th hand in 200 and sit out without sitting out. That is, watch the bad movie unfold as AI struggles to win for a minimal payoff on a significant time investment.

More than three hours, three player breaks, no significant chat I play great poker and...wait Bad can't really be called poker...I play great cards and my free money chip stack goes up by 3k. No real human would suffer so much punishment. Except me.

On the other end of the coin-the hot Asian tail end-are the feeders that if they have nothing better to do with their lives log in to poker and apparently go all in every hand and register for 20 games and never have to put any thought into it.

Personally, I enjoy being alive and interactive. Meet the family for Thanksgiving dinner, take care of the aging crack team member(the dog), watching football, anxiously awaiting the newest episode of Dexter, continuing working on the nuclear bomb I'm building in my shed and debating with Jarah over the virtues of asparagus vs. Ben and Jerry's ice cream.



This is homeland security. You mentioned a nuke in the shed.

Guys, (and the cute blonde) give me SOME artistic license. It was for the limited comedic effect to make my point. You've got to give the something ridiculous to negotiaite with. If I give you some Ben and Jerry's will you take the cuffs off?
