Cool
Padooki is mainly played in the UK casinos (usually Pot Limit).
I only played it once so far (not even knowing full rules lol) and I can't decide whether is better than Badugi or not hyhy
(I like both really
)
For those who don't know, here are some showdown rules for Padooki:
Its like Badugi but you always
use ALL of your cards at the showdown
Hand strenghts:
#1 Padooki - all rainbow, no pairs (like a Badugi)
#2 Flush - still no pairs, but two or more (
doesn't matter how many or which card is suited) matching suits
#3 Pair - no matching suits but a paired hand
#4 Full House - Flush + Pair
Examples:
A
2

= Padooki
