Badugi in Poker

Badugi is a draw poker game aiming for four low cards of different ranks and suits. Aces are low. Cards that duplicate a rank or suit cannot all count, so a valid four-card badugi beats any three-card hand. Lower cards win between hands of equal length.

A heart ace, diamond two, club three and spade four make the best possible badugi. Four different ranks and suits allow all four cards to count.
