Ah. Thank you.

Badeucey: This game has an interesting history. First seen around Treasure Island in 2007, Badeucey is a split pot triple draw game whereupon the best 2-7 hand and the best Badugi split the pot. The best 2-7 hand is 23457 without a flush. The best Badugi is 2345, so the best possible hand is 2345 (rainbow) with a 7 (nut nut). The Badugi rules are explained in the Badacey section. This game has evolved a bit, as the original version had Aces be split, with the Ace playing low in Badugi but High in 2-7, and there was a 4 card qualifier to claim the Badugi side. Both of these rules went by the wayside everywhere except Imperial Palace, which still spreads the original version. In the modern version found in most Vegas mixed games, the Aces are high only, and are not cards you want to see dealt to you. It is also occasionally spread Pot Limit (usually at Aria or the WSOP), which increases the stakes dramatically, but often includes a per hand cap, depending on the limit.
Thanks, Donk Quixote.
