description Badacey Overview
Badacey is a split-pot poker game that combines Badugi with ace-to-five lowball. Players draw cards while seeking two different qualifying results: the best Badugi hand and the best conventional ace-to-five low hand. The pot is divided between those results, so a player may win one half, both halves, or neither depending on the final hands.
