Still Roughing It...

Now it's on to Badugi, where I've been having some success over the past month-ish or so at the 5c/10c level. My BR rules allow me to play at the 10c/20c games, and today there happened to be a game running. After watching the players for a little while - and finding almost no difference in skill level - I jumped in and started to play.

As is the custom lately, I got very little to play (now is the time I get dealt all of the QQKK and AKAQ sets). I did get involved in a hand with this one guy who really had NO IDEA how to play Badugi. In a previous hand, he called a bet after standing pat on the final draw, and showed four spades. So, this happens:

Yup, that's him betting into me after I've made Badugi (a weak one, yes, that's why I didn't raise). He then needs to draw TWO cards on the final draw to hit his Badugi, and nails it. When you play against me, you really don't have to be all that good because the luck takes over, I guess.
