Kevin Gerhart and Kyle Miaso Delve into the Secrets of Badugi Poker


In a recent analysis, Kevin Gerhart, a four-time WSOP bracelet winner and a PokerGo commentator specializing in mixed games, and Kyle Miaso delved into the intricacies of Badugi poker.

Badugi is a unique poker game that features three exchanges and a mandatory split of the pot. The best hand in 2-7 is one that does not form a flush, and the best hand in this version of Badugi is of different suits. This game requires strategic thinking and a deep understanding of poker dynamics.

During their discussion, Kyle Miaso and Kevin Gerhart analyzed a multi-pot hand involving Josh, Matt Valeo, and Chad Ivsledge, who are top high-stakes players. They explored the strategies and decisions made by each player, providing insights into the complexities of Badugi poker.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
