Badugi fundamentally fits into the category of draw poker and is probably not at all familiar to most poker players. It is a very interesting game though for its odd betting structure and method of play. It is a four-card game consisting of three drawing rounds in which the players place their bets and begin the task of building the winning Badugi hand into showdown. In Asia, the game is widely played and is trickling slowly into North America. Badugi is for the most part played as a fixed limit game with two blinds, from then on it is similar to many other poker variations. Tournament play will often include pot and no limit games.

Poker is a vying game using playing cards that involves betting and hand rankings. Different versions exist depending on how many cards are used, limitations of betting, number of rounds of betting and different hand rankings.
The history of poker is the subject of debate. Around 969 AD, the Chinese emperor Mu-Tsung is reported to have played ‘domino cards’ with his wife. Egyptians in the 12th and 13th centuries had a version of playing cards. The Persians in the 16th century had a 96-card game “Ganjifa” and a 25-card version “As Nas”. An early known card game incorporating betting, hand rankings and bluffing was a German game entitled ‘Pochspiel’ popular in the 15th century. The French played a game called ‘Poque’.

The traditional venues for playing poker, brick and mortar casinos and poker rooms, can be intimidating for new players. And casinos have also been reluctant to make adequate room for card rooms up until recently, because of the lower profits from poker. Casinos would make much more money if they replaced poker rooms with slot machines or other traditional casino games.
By contrast, online venues are dramatically cheaper because of the smaller overhead costs. Adding more tables costs an online poker room nothing and takes up no valuable space, but makes dozens of players who can sit at those new tables happy. This is how the online venues can let players sit at tables with such low stakes, going all the way down to 1/2, and offer promotions like freeroll tournaments (meaning no entry fee).

While bearing some resemblance to Texas Hold’em, Crazy Pineapple poker offers several variations in the rules that make it a form unto itself. The variance is greatly increased in Pineapple due to its many opportunities for different hand combinations plus the increased probabilities surrounding the additional card. All this adds up to the warning that one should not enter into a game heedlessly without first studying the rules, strategies and methods of play both by game observation and literature.
How Crazy Pineapple Poker is Structured
There is nothing strange about the opening play of Crazy pineapple. Two players ante up (blind) prior to the deal. The deal consists of three cards, then a round of betting, then the flop, at which point three community cards are shown to the table by...

A dealer button is used to represent the player in the dealer position; the dealer button rotates clockwise after each hand, changing the position of the dealer and blinds. The small blind is posted by the player to the left of the dealer and is usually equal to half of the big blind. The big blind, posted by the player to the left of the small blind, is equal to the minimum bet. In tournament poker, the blind/ante structure periodically increases as the tournament progresses.
Two cards are dealt to every player face down, the small blind receives the first card and the deal proceeds clockwise from there. These two cards are the player’s hole cards, and remain private for the entire hand until the showdown. Texas Hold em uses a standard 52-card deck.
The first betting round takes place...
