In Badugi the best hand has 4 cards of 4 different suits and the overall lowest combination wins. Aces are low so the best possible badugi hand is A-2-3-4 in four different suits. Since Aces are low, the highest card in Badugi is a king and the worst possible hand is all four kings.
If you do not have 4 different suits then your lowest combination of different suites will be your best hand. Having A-2-3 of 3 different suits is the best 3 suited hand available, but remember a Badugi (4 suited with no pairs) beats any three card hand.
What about pairs? If you have A355 (all different suits) then your hand is really A35, which is a three-card hand. This is because you can only use one of the paired cards.
If any two cards in a hand are the same suit or rank, then one of the cards is eliminated, leaving the player with a three-card, two-card, or one-card hand. Any player with a four-card hand automatically beats any player with fewer cards in their hand. If players have the same number of cards in their hand, then the hand with the lowest high-card wins.
In cases where a card or more is removed, the hand is scored as if the highest possible card is removed, unless there is a case where a card is both of the same suit of one card and of the same rank of another. Then, only one card need be removed, leaving the best possible valid hand.

It's quicker to ask. It's ok. I've already won a couple badugi hands, and I have about 8k w/28 players left.
