Thinking Outside the Hold'em Box: Badugi

In this series, I am discussing some of the poker variants other than no-limit hold’em you’ll probably hear about during coverage of this year’s World Series of Poker. If a game piques your interest, think about taking some time to explore it further. Who knows — you just might find a new game to love!

One of the relatively recent additions to the WSOP schedule is the “10-Game Mix.” This event made its debut at the 2011 WSOP, where a $2,500 buy-in version of the event attracted over 400 entrants and garnered rave reviews.

Notably, the 10-game mix represented the first time the game of Badugi had ever been played as part of a WSOP bracelet event.
