Even Cliffs would be NSFW, so you are better reading from the source, imo.

Pat/pat. He bets, I raise, he thinks forever and calls/pats, I draw 2 to 85.

He bets, I call, he announces "king".

I don't know badugi one f***ing bit, someone care to explain this?
Is DC's 85 badugi a premium hand?

Just curious.

The hand is an abortion on both sides. When I break and draw 2 I'm probably a 30-1 dog vs. any reasonable Badugi he should have, except for the ones I'm drawing dead to. I can pat my bluff catcher or chase a hoodwinked draw, obviously I chose wrong.

He won the Sklansky bucks, I won the pot.

I am sure this would be more entertaining if I knew the parties involved but I don't so it is pretty meh.

Cliffs:
1. chick allegedly cheats on dude with other poker players.
2. dude isn't happy and blasts off on twitter about her stinky twinky and how he buttsexed her.
3. chick feels no remorse and recognizes dude as pathetic and claims to take the high road with nose in the air. this substantiates dudes claim to some extent that she only cares about her own upward mobility.

I'd say "A pox on both their houses," except it sounds likely this has already happened.

well both examples are sorta kinda ******* cards but they kinda aren't because even with a set if someone wakes up in either example it will alert me to a higher hand and I'll just call (unless they're like balls to the wall money haters). I think of the true ******* cards that make us wanna 3 or 4b when it drops. The classic ahole cards are ones that improve your hand to a FH and the other person's hand to quads (when you had set over set). Or your hand makes a str8 and the other guy a flush (that's not so bad - prob not 3/4b there)... it's really specific as you can see.

This isn't really an ahole situation (imo) but I hate it no-less. It's when you flop a (small) FH and the other guy has trips and the board double pairs otr and you're done! ex H44 VAJ: 4JJ22 That to me - is the worst kind of Bad beat lol. I wouldn't 3/4b if I got raised otr a lot of the times so I don't really consider it an ahole situation just annoying lol.

I could have gone completely off the deep end of nitdom here, but eight handed I think you should fold utg.

Wacky, what is the it that you mentioned at the end of last months thread?

Not in this game, and not with a better than average pat hand.

Isn't the median pat badugi Q752? QT85 is substantially worse than this.
