I play Stud when I have a chance. Stud H/L is my favorite game. But I guess NLH is what most people like, so that is what you find the most of on the poker sites. Badugi just doesn't seem to be very popular.

The main reason is that they are not that popular. Texas Hold’em is the game that most people play, so it is discussed the most. Which is a pity, because I like Stud Hi/Lo and Razz, as well as all the Omaha variants more than Hold’em.
However, you (and I) are most welcome to post any questions, advice etc., re Badugi and Stud here on Cardschat.
Also worth mentioning, is Cardschat sometimes have Badugi and Stud games. They are run from the Home Games section on PokerStars using play money. This allows members from the USA and other countries, who are not able to play real money games on PokerStars, to play. Prize money is paid by Cardschat.
You will find these games here on Cardschat https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cardschat-special-events-buy-ins-39/

Holdem is so over-analyzed and gets boring after you had played it as the main game for over a decade.
I also think it is easier to keep the bots (and AI) away if you rotate the games often. Not to mention the "chart"-players that knows every all-in situation in NLH-tournaments.
I hope CardsChat take this into consideration. Even if it maybe takes a little more work to set-up different formats.

The good old days.
I remember those games, in the Astronomer Freerolls. That's where I learnt to play Stud Hi Lo, Razz, Omaha, etc. The top 64 to 108 (depending on game type), got a ticket to a $2,000 weekend Hold'em Freeroll. I never got to use many of those tickets, because the money games started at some ungodly hour of the morning (here in new zealand).
They are still listed in my Tournament Tickets on PokerStars, but are worthless now. It's a wonder they don't delete them.

I really like playing Badugi but unfortunately the prizes are not good enough in tournaments and that is simple most of the players have a preference for Texas Holde'm so the big tournaments with great prizes are in Holdem, this leads to The rest of the game types, perhaps with the exception of Omaha, do not have so many players, everyone in online poker concentrates on playing Holdem because that is where the good prizes are
