Badugi starting hands.
Make the lowest four-card hand using four different ranks and four different suits. Duplicate ranks or suits cannot both play, so a complete four-card Badugi beats every three-card hand. A-2-3-4 rainbow is best.

How to study Badugi starting hands
Badugi starting hands must balance low ranks with four-suit potential. A complete four-card Badugi outranks every three-card hand, while a strong three-card core may still have valuable clean draws.
Is this Badugi GTO?
This chart is an interactive starting-hand model, not a complete equilibrium solve. Use the Badugi equity calculator to test exact cards and draw choices, while remembering that equity alone does not model betting strategy.
What should I study next?
Start with the Badugi rules, compare how the range changes by table format and width, then use the calculator to test a specific hand against an exact opponent or range.
