The exciting game of Badugi

Ba...what? Badugi? What is that? Your pet name? :)
Badugi is another poker variant, let me explain a little bit.

There are 3 popular types of poker variants:
1. Draw Poker, where players are dealt a complete hand, hidden, and then improve it by replacing cards. Five-card draw is the most popular.

2. Stud Poker, each player receives a combination of face-up cards and face-down cards in multiple betting rounds. Seven-card stud and Five-card stud are among the most populars.

3. Community card poker, each player receives a incomplete hidden hand that is combined with shared face-up cards. Texas holdem and Omaha holdem are the most popular.

Badugi is a draw poker where each player starts with 4 hidden cards. During each of three drawing rounds, players can trade zero to four cards from their hands for new ones from the deck, in an attempt to form the best badugi hand and win the pot.
