"Glaring error" being based entirely on my opinion of how the game should be played. It's entirely possible I am not good at the game and I fail to recognize their errors because I am making the same mistake.
I can think of some pretty clear and common mistakes I see people make in the game but they don't come close to some of the jaw dropping things I see people do in other games.
I think Badeucey is a fantastic pot limit game, however.
i'm not sure how much of your baduecy experince comes live vs online but if its all live you may not see the glaring errors because you only see their hands when they are a winner at showdown and usually something reasonable. so all of the times they call and take 2 on the end with 3-4-5, 34-7, 237 where its wrong to do so they just muck river and you don't think much of it or they call and you have badugi and assume they had 234 or something.
Further, you just don't play many hands of baduecy if there a bunch of games in the mix so small leaks don't really stick out unless you are really looking for it. But just to give an example, this week i played a hand where I opened UTG solid sb 3 bet and bb called. sb took 1 to 238(7). Its very unlikely they are going to make this magnitude of a mistake playing most other draw games.
Also, the river play in badeucy is probably the leakiest street of any format of poker that exists (except maybee pre-flop in archie and holdem). While in archie, more mistakes may get made, most players play the river pretty close to optimal. I mean its just really easy, if you have anything you probably call, if you have a bad low you usually check.
