Action Razzdugi

Forced Money

The game is played with antes. The high card on the board by rank first and then by suit brings it in. The K♠ is the highest possible card followed by the K♥, K♦, K♣, and so on.

Dealing Procedure

Starting with the player in seat one, each player is dealt two cards face down then one card up, followed by a round of betting at the small bet limit.

A second up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the small bet limit. Action starts with the lowest hand showing.

A third up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.

A fourth up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.

A third down card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit. This is followed by a showdown.

Evaluating the Showdown

The best five-card Action Razz hand and the best (ace-to-four) Badugi hand split the pot. A face card is not required to win the Badugi hand. There is no qualifier for either the Action Razz or Badugi hand. (Neither a “face” Action Razz hand, nor a 4-card Badugi hand, are required.)
