[brittle temple]

[narrow wadi]

tbf in this instance it was probably the car that hit me

[terse dock]

theyre getting sloppy

[acoustic kettle]

blueprint is cornered

yuri

[ancient gyro]

its probably a good idea you didn't know that acronym initially

[brittle temple]

(i have the blueprint mod and i didnt want them to look like photo)

[heavy heron]

that’s true, people couldn’t handle my awesome jokes

[cunning sluice]

[tender hill]

gay lovers bro

[brittle temple]

they have to become friends before they copy eachother

[terse dock]

Put her next to photo

Lest glass

[cunning sluice]

All i see in life is score

[terse dock]

Or more aptly put photo between her and brainstorm 1

[heavy heron]

it’s always “what is blueprint doing” and never “how is blueprint doing”

you’re all the same

[cunning sluice]

Maybe thats why i suck at balatro

[heavy heron]

EXCUSE ME

[alpine halo]

look up seeded runs

[brittle temple]

i optimized the looks

[tender hill]

i mean like

the performance

[shadow spruce]

you

[terse dock]

Just put pepperoni in the paninis

[narrow wadi]

i'll see how i feel after the paninis, they arrive in like 10 minutes so i should at least have those and reassess. i do like your thinking tho

[shadow spruce]

this guy has the nerve to show up after i win

[narrow wadi]

i am vegan unfortunately

[terse dock]

Restart the game

[brittle temple]

it drains my phones battery like crazy i agree

[tender hill]

what was localthunk smoking when he decided to make the game lag when theres a lot of cards

[alpine halo]

i cant say youre wrong

[tender hill]

doesnt make sense bro

[terse dock]

There's a memory leak

[alpine halo]

it murders my steam deck battery

lmfao

[acoustic kettle]

flush house can be good

[tender hill]

sit down santa go eat some milk and cookies

[vocal rose]

[brittle temple]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[narrow wadi]

[terse dock]

Flush 5 has better hype

[tender hill]

crypto scams in the big 25

[brittle temple]

true

[narrow wadi]

straight flush is the number 1 in hype

[heavy heron]

OMG $100K IN THE FIRST 72 HOURS? 😍 😍 😍

[brittle temple]

he already has 3 spades so he's close to that

[cunning sluice]

Hoping to get flush five with ace of spades in this run

[heavy heron]

anyways mods eat him alive

[narrow wadi]

u don't wanna unlock 5oak then dilutes planet pool

[ancient gyro]

full house falls under the category of shit 5 card hands for being low scoring planets and joker scoring reliability in average gs runs.

flushes, full houses, and 5oak all have the base difficulty of needing to draw a 5 card hand to down the poker hand. these poker hands also have a theme of requiring to find cards of the same flavor (suits, ranks).

the planets that are tied to these three poker hands are notorious for having terrible chip scaling in proportion to the initial difficulty of drawing the hand, or the resources taken to deck fix for.

in comparison with other planets and poker hands, jupiter has the same chip scaling as mercury, earth has five more chips than venus, planet x has fine now chips than mars.

to offset the mediocre planet scaling, they have to utilize a narrow pool of jokers that best perform under these poker hand requirements. flushes have aj, full house has fib (and triboulet on rarer events), 5oak has wee. granted there are more jokers but I'm only listing the most consistent jokers of their respective poker hand for the reason you would play that hand.

being reliant on jokers in a game that's polluted with them, you would think they would be good when you have a joker dedicated to its hand right? for larger hands this becomes far less consistent within the huge 145-150 joker pool you have to think about each run.

the better younger brothers of those 5 card poker hands perform better in addition to the larger pool of jokers you have to work with. pairs have all of their scaling jokers with a majority of them immune to orange stake. enables you to dig through your deck while not being at risk of dying to a whiff.

2 pairs have good utility with on-card scoring jokers while not begging for intensive deck fixing. 3oak has good chip/mult scaling with venus to trade off of being slightly more resource intensive for deck fixing and one less card for on card non x mult score.

straights/4oak have ridiculous planet scaling to offset the difficulty of drawing the hand and the specific resources needed to deck fix for. their main sources of base strength comes from a smaller pool of 9 planets instead of a specific few of 145 jokers.

as planet cards, jupiter, earth, and planet x are pretty unimpressive for the reward you get in proportion to its success of the raw base chip/mult scoring. as poker hands, they are equally as bad with the lack of plentiful jokers that would provide an alternative source for scoring.

another proposed method other than what's already known with blue stake rework, is to balance the number of jokers so that more jokers will reasonably work with those poker hands and have those three poker hands be "joker specific" poker hands instead of planet specific poker hands.

having bad planet scoring is fine. having bad planet scoring and less overall jokers for their poker hand is something that should be changed.

[heavy heron]

holy

[tender hill]

holy yap

[heavy heron]

andolth…

[tender hill]

go get a breathalyzer

[ancient gyro]

don't car

[terse dock]

Ive been so high contrast rotten I didn't see the club

[heavy heron]

didn’t know you were into full house like that

[terse dock]

I thought it was a spade

[brittle temple]

idk if its a good idea to send flood after someone pinged mods

[coarse garnet]

Am I fucked? The next round is the verdant leaf

[ancient gyro]

not the first time this has happened

[tender hill]

theres no fucking way

I GOT A COMMON JOKER

[brittle temple]

full house my goat

[tender hill]

FROM A SOUL CARD

[brittle temple]

i love full house

[terse dock]

Yeah

[tender hill]

HOW DOES THAT FUCKING WORK

[terse dock]

Jimbo is the fallback joker

You ran out of legendsries to obtain

[ancient gyro]

that's nice, ties along with my wall of text I took an hour to type out

[brittle temple]

why do you have all 5 legedaries

[terse dock]

Same thing happens with all other rarities

[heavy heron]

you have all of them

[sly osprey]

Yeah, maybe make a thread or something for this

[brittle temple]

and a 6th soul card

[ancient gyro]

about a week ago

[cunning sluice]

I'm playing on a save where i accidentally pressed unlock all because while i do have another save made to start over in actual progression, i'm too lazy rn to grind back to the 90 jokers i had before i made the mistake

[tender hill]

oh ok

[brittle temple]

im not reading that

[ancient gyro]

maybe

[sly osprey]

Huge wall of texts consistently does constitute spam in my book

[tender hill]

jimbo dont fail me now

[heavy heron]

tsk tsk tsk

[narrow wadi]

unlocking 5oak is a run specific thing, in each run u will only see planet x if u have played a 5oak

it resets every new run

[heavy heron]

andolth no more wall texts regarding full houses

[tender hill]

balatro but all the soundtracks play simultaneously

[cunning sluice]

Oh Damn I Did Not Know That

[heavy heron]

there’s a video for that

[ancient gyro]

I have to forward it from here since the last acc got bricked and I have no means of shortcuts via message link

[tender hill]

It sounds like if you were on drugs

While playing balatro

[heavy heron]

mmmm… i’d have to listen again

[wanton breach]

Balatro is the drug

[worn oasis]

okay so mathematically speaking i think its better to dupe the retrigger when i have 3 red seal steel aces, but its better to dupe the yorick if i have less than that in hand

[vocal rose]

wdym consistently

[heavy heron]

HEY

I DISAGREE

chicot 🤤

[vocal rose]

there was only one wall of text

unless you're saying that because it was two messages

[ancient gyro]

they don't know I spent an hour writing this lol

[heavy heron]

bro deleted it and thought you could get away w it

system

[ancient gyro]

well technically this is my first message 🗣️

[tender hill]

i am gae

[heavy heron]

btw it doesn’t sound that good

[tender hill]

it doessss

[coarse garnet]

I would honestly take chicot over perkio half the time

[terse dock]

fmhy tag

We Know

[tender hill]

just remove arcane pack and its peak

[wanton breach]

Depends on how much yorick give

[heavy heron]

ehh.. it’s alright..

[tender hill]

We can atleast agree

[heavy heron]

the OSTs are just better separated

[tender hill]

The orchestra rendition at tga was peak

[heavy heron]

it sounds like there’s too much going on

[heavy heron]

HMM

haven’t heard

lemme see

[tender hill]

ok

[terse dock]

4/4 instead of 7/8

[worn oasis]

only x10rn

[terse dock]

It's Bilge

[tender hill]

@heavy heron

https://youtu.be/N_4Hyet9-3w

[vocal rose]

balatro

[heavy heron]

YEAH IM LISTENING

[brittle temple]

sending walls of texts daily vs onetime wall of text as a joke

[heavy heron]

HOLYYYYY

[wanton breach]

I think you should try doing some experiment with that

[cunning sluice]

Getting an ante 3 five oak is beautiful

[sly osprey]

I just mean don't make a habit of it regardless of how many times it was

[worn oasis]

i just tried doing the math manually but its pretty easy to lose track😭

[gentle canopy]

Stuntman is eluding me so hard it's the only joker I need for completionist++

[ancient gyro]

its only for message link purposes it's not like I'm gonna do this every 5 minutes someone talks about one of the three poker hands

[brittle temple]

why do i have jimbo particles in the middle of my screen

[hardy fable]

someone hates bloodstone

[tender hill]

Synth guy cooked

[brittle temple]

i love bloodstone

[cunning sluice]

He is possessing your game

[wanton breach]

For some mathematical reason, copying retrigger can be worse than copying scoring joker

[narrow wadi]

They really want you to take that erosion

[coarse garnet]

Stuntgod help me

[hardy fable]

I am not qualified

[coarse garnet]

Fuck

But the leaf :(

[cunning sluice]

What should i do

[heavy heron]

it sounds almost.. heroic

hopeful

it should be in the game 😍

[tender hill]

imagine jimbo was the final boss

[narrow wadi]

If you have 1 sock you are doubling triggers, copying sock is only adding a third hand

[heavy heron]

bro secret ante 8 boss

say less

[twin linden]

God I can’t wait for the update, I’m tired of blue stakes

[cunning sluice]

Me acting like i'm not just gonna grab the arcana packs and nothing else

[heavy heron]

and the boss condition is that you can’t have over 4 mult

LOOLLLL

jimbo boss

100k chips needed

[narrow wadi]

What’s ur money? U don’t wanna buy packs if it puts u under 25

[coarse garnet]

Yeah doesn’t seem like there’s much else

[tender hill]

Who greenlit the friends of jimbo ad

shits unhinged as fuck bro

[cunning sluice]

I got 18 at ante 3

[wanton breach]

Idk, im just a fool

[narrow wadi]

Just go next round then, u wanna get to interest cap

[alpine halo]

the legendary $20 reroll

[cunning sluice]

A fool with a gambit

[heavy heron]

which one?

[tender hill]

The first one

[cunning sluice]

This was my legendary reference to prerelease balatro and i will make this joke in the future

[heavy heron]

like… the one w among us?

[wanton breach]

What gambit? No, what is a gambit? Idk. Let's just put my entire live savings in. I'm all in.

[cunning sluice]

True..

[tender hill]

uhhh

lemme send

[cunning sluice]

Fuck this

[brittle temple]

holy double negative (and negative wee)

[tender hill]

https://youtu.be/8b_IQsAdABU

[tender hill]

negative wee wee

[heavy heron]

i mean……

[heavy heron]

oh that

LOOLLL

YEA

THE GUY

[manic zealot]

Flush houses are fun

[heavy heron]

yes they are!

[atomic trout]

🖕 Boss

[brittle temple]

cant you do a weak version of the bean bug with this

[atomic trout]

Plasma Deck is miserable

[cunning sluice]

So glad cult of the lamb is featured in the deck settings i fw that game so hard

[brittle temple]

plasma deck is a free win*

[heavy heron]

now i just need an omori deck

[atomic trout]

Not really for me

[manic zealot]

So fucking true

[brittle temple]

you just need chip jokers

[cunning sluice]

But isn't it problematic medias

[brittle temple]

yeah you're using swashbuckler

[manic zealot]

More the fanbase

[brittle temple]

fortune teller...

[atomic trout]

Swashbuckler is awesome 🤣

[wanton breach]

Are you a fool or something? Falling for that gambit

[brittle temple]

why are you using mult jokers in plasma

ofc you're losing

[cunning sluice]

What is this joker poker i have to endure

[brittle temple]

misprint 💔

[wanton breach]

It's called "Balatro"

[brittle temple]

3 mult jokers...

[atomic trout]

I realized chips are strong

[cunning sluice]

I love misprint if yall don't fw misprint yall don't fw me

[atomic trout]

No wonder I'm losing

[brittle temple]

he's using it in plasma

[tender hill]

No shit

[wanton breach]

They are

[atomic trout]

I didn't know 🤣

[heavy heron]

plasma is not as intuitive as it looks

[brittle temple]

its intuitive

[tender hill]

if you only had 1 chip but 2 billion mult

[brittle temple]

just use chip jokers

[cunning sluice]

Not familiar with the decks so i don't understand the evil within

[heavy heron]

when you have a billion hours on it yeah obv

[tender hill]

The multiplier would be useless

[heavy heron]

but not for new players

so chill out

LOOLLL

[brittle temple]

no?

[heavy heron]

ok

[narrow wadi]

if you put chips/ econ jokers on the left you are a psycopath. the only order that looks right to me is +mult-econ-chips-xmult

[brittle temple]

i litterally gold staked it without dying in it a single time

[wanton breach]

Got to 2 mil only on chip scaling jokers and pluto

[brittle temple]

i dont think i had a billion hours when i just downloaded the game

[worn oasis]

okay it turns out doubling this yorik is much better now that its more than x10

[heavy heron]

well the fact you have gold stake unlocked means you have more experience than a new player

so

[brittle temple]

i think you're missing my entire point but okay

[atomic trout]

It gets worse

[heavy heron]

just because you got it first try doesn’t mean to stomp on someone new is all i’m saying big dog

[cunning sluice]

Coming up with a new strat its called i love invisible joker

[brittle temple]

im not stomping what are you on

[wanton breach]

You better start preparing to send presents around the globe, gramp

[brittle temple]

i cancelled christmas this year to play more balatro

[heavy heron]

that’s what i’m saying, you got bigger problems to worry about

[heavy heron]

CRAZY

people need their presents

[brittle temple]

you got parents for that

[heavy heron]

no cookies and milk this year though my bad

[brittle temple]

i retire

[wanton breach]

Could you at least send some of us a copy of balatro as a present?

[cunning sluice]

This is why i don't celebrate yall at the north pole lazy af

[wanton breach]

You wouldn't belive

[brittle temple]

i've been making billions of toys a year since 800 my knees are in constant pain

[tender hill]

i cant wait for the balatro update

Idek how much content its gonna add

[cunning sluice]

My eyes are burning at this sight

[tender hill]

but i know its gonna be good

[atomic trout]

Plasma Sucks

[wanton breach]

Three gay photo, a brainrot, and worse chad

[cunning sluice]

Be honest should i have made it copy gros michael instead

[wanton breach]

WHERE IS MY HANGING CHAD

[atomic trout]

Anaglyph Deck is better

[cunning sluice]

Or am i a genius boy with a genius brain living my genius life

[wanton breach]

When one extinct, you can find Cavendish at the shop and have 2 banana at once

[brittle temple]

4 mimes no baron

💔

[wanton breach]

The king is dead

[cunning sluice]

I had to sell midas mask and gros just to make it copy photo

I already turned 90% of my face cards into gold so midas mask was getting useless

[narrow wadi]

i've never seen michael in shop while having a cavendish, i think without showman, michael and cavendish exclude the other from the shop

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wanton breach]

I'm tired of playing photochad
But other strat is rarely available for me

[serene forge]

look harder

[narrow wadi]

i pretty much never play photochad, it is not a very reliable strategy

[wanton breach]

Depends on your play style, actually

[narrow wadi]

not really

[wanton breach]

It's not reliable when one joker is missing

[serene forge]

the good gold stake playstyle is contradictory to photochad

[cunning sluice]

Died instantly to needle turns out i am not a genius boy

[narrow wadi]

it's not that reliable when u have both even

[tame sluice]

tung tung sahuurrrr

[serene forge]

and onscored xmult in general

[wanton breach]

That strat carries me to gold

[narrow wadi]

ye onscore xmult is not a consistent strategy

[wanton breach]

True

[serene forge]

photochad is incompatible with mult jokers and requires strong planets to be useful

[wanton breach]

I'm just lucky

[serene forge]

so while its very strong its not reliable

[woven spire]

when i get bored i just do a run on the first scaling joker/build arround joker i see

it can be fun sometimes

[serene forge]

and probably not something you're building towards without a good reason

[wanton breach]

I wanna do a run involving spare trouser

[cunning sluice]

Never risk a really weird strat on needle, just learned that lesson

[narrow wadi]

if u wanna get to a good gold stike winrate u want to not be forcing this strategy, u want to start learning the more conventional +mult, xmult scoring (also having a chips joker in this is very nice but not as necessary)

[woven spire]

try madness

[wanton breach]

I'm tired of this xmult shit

[cunning sluice]

Anyone else not gaf about red card

[narrow wadi]

the good xmult in gold stake is xmult that does not trigger on a played card, so that u can multiply mult from another joker

[narrow wadi]

red card is a fantastic joker

[serene forge]

I do

[woven spire]

youve said it like 5 times today, the hate might be growing

[wanton breach]

I want to play more +mult but keep finding chad and then photo

[serene forge]

its awesome

[cunning sluice]

Fuck red card if i buy a booster pack 90% i'm gonna use it

[narrow wadi]

u can do this for early game i guess but it doesn't score that much by itself

so u want to pivot to something more traditional

[wanton breach]

True, the furthest i can go is ante 14 with photochad

[serene forge]

booster pack in question:

[narrow wadi]

there are so many bad tarot cards, and all planets other than whatever ur playing is bad

also so many bad standard packs

[wanton breach]

I rely on lucky cards triggering that juicy +20 mult

[narrow wadi]

this is why i was saying it is inconsistent

[wanton breach]

I'm just fucking lucky

[narrow wadi]

also u have a boss that ruins the whole strategy

[woven spire]

pillar(?)

[cunning sluice]

I don't open standard packs often, most of my strategy is upgrading hands i use a ton and turning multiple cards into a certain suit

[wanton breach]

Again, I'm just fucking lucky.
Those bosses appears at low ante

[west python]

What should I do there guys

[narrow wadi]

the face card one

debuff all face cads dude

[wanton breach]

Plant

[woven spire]

oh the plant

[narrow wadi]

ye that guy

[warped valley]

fuck plant

[serene forge]

so you're ignoring situations where red card can be really good and wondering why its not useful for you

is that it

[worn oasis]

LOL i just misclicked and lost my best run so far, it wouldve gotten me past ante 13 for the first time💔💔

[serene forge]

eh nah

[west python]

What do I do there (I used wrong pic last time

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad

if u know what you're doing

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe endless photochad

[narrow wadi]

plant is a very nice boss to see on most gold stake runs, score rarely comes from ur cards

[woven spire]

i did that today too, could have gotten to ante 19 at the very least

[wanton breach]

Leveling up planet and having steel numbered card is my answer to the plant

[woven spire]

it just happens lol

[serene forge]

plant is a buff to ride the bus

I love the plant

[cunning sluice]

I just don't fw it much cause it doesn't fit my style of playing, i've seen how it can be useful to many but eh

[narrow wadi]

huh? it quite literally is the direct counter to photochad

[serene forge]

nah

glass exists

[narrow wadi]

same

[acoustic kettle]

Glass numbers

[cunning sluice]

Everytime i talk about balatro i realize just how trash i am at it

[acoustic kettle]

Chad is just too good

[patent prairie]

thats still countering photo

[serene forge]

you can't really force a playstyle in this game

[heavy heron]

you’re not trash, you’re just learning

[woven spire]

it counters photochad tho

[patent prairie]

youre just using chad

[serene forge]

at least not like that

[serene forge]

yeah it counters photo

not photochad

[wanton breach]

All my face cards are enhanced to lucky cards while number cards are all steel, i also level up my high card really high

[narrow wadi]

this, i said it counters photochad, if ur relying on a different scoring angle this is still countering photochad

[serene forge]

everything counters photo because photo fucking sucks

[wanton breach]

This is what i usually do

[acoustic kettle]

Real

[narrow wadi]

this

chad is good

photo is bad

[woven spire]

fuck 8 ball

[serene forge]

use oops

[woven spire]

still, fuck it.

[west python]

Any 1?

[narrow wadi]

this is my favourite joker, it's not very strong but it's so fun cos it's gambling

[wanton breach]

Photo is only good when there is chad

[woven spire]

good point

[wanton breach]

Chad is good with everything

[narrow wadi]

even here i would generally rather have something different with the chad

[acoustic kettle]

Wee chad

[narrow wadi]

photochad is very nice for early game but i will be looking to pivot off it if i am using it

[wanton breach]

Chad + glass card is better than with photo

[acoustic kettle]

I'd aura

[cunning sluice]

All i go for is straights and flushes ngl, i should probably chamge that

[patent prairie]

just get hack lowk

[acoustic kettle]

Straights are good

[wanton breach]

Flush is bait hand

[narrow wadi]

straights are great, flushes less so (unless ur playing checkered deck). i play pairs most of the time, straights quite a lot

[wanton breach]

Only good when desperate

[narrow wadi]

high card is good

[woven spire]

flus for the 3 first antes

[narrow wadi]

4oak when it works

[woven spire]

then pairs or 4oak

[wanton breach]

Flush five on the other hand

[narrow wadi]

if i get an ante 1 saturn then i'm playing straights

[lyric shore]

high card is not good

[narrow wadi]

it is good

it is consistent

[cunning sluice]

I always try to turn my deck into checkered for this reason

[narrow wadi]

high card is probably the third best hand on gold stake

[lyric shore]

pair is as consistent and a lot better

[woven spire]

thats fair, im just too dumb to play straights and flush its just easier for me

[acoustic kettle]

Pairs score too much

[narrow wadi]

it is technically not as consistent even tho u are generally always getting pairs. it is not a lot better- only 5 extra chips per level. being a slightly worse pair is still putting u third best hand

[potent tree]

i've had high cards score 50m without photochad before

[woven spire]

thats not that hard tho

[wanton breach]

Pluto farming is great

[narrow wadi]

i rarely play high card cos pairs are so consistent, but that's not cos high card is bad just that pairs are slightly better

[acoustic kettle]

Without baron mime is the better flex

[wanton breach]

If you think about it, high card is a great hand to farm supernova

[potent tree]

true. i use mime a lot but not baron

[narrow wadi]

mime is a good joker, baron is awful (maybe bottom 1) outside of high score runs

[woven spire]

highest ive got with stm is 7 mil on a MP match

[idle haven]

hack where are you

[acoustic kettle]

Idol exists

[narrow wadi]

same as pairs, high card and pairs are strong for the same reasons

[narrow wadi]

if idol hits in a 4oak build on ante 8 i am taking it

i am probably never taking baron

[woven spire]

idol is trash too the deckfix nedeed is wild

[wanton breach]

High card is stronger from late game perspective

[narrow wadi]

for sure it's still awful, i take idol 0.5% of the time tho, i never take baron

[wanton breach]

Pair is strong, but you might waste card on deck

[acoustic kettle]

Well baron works with pairs

In theory

[cunning sluice]

I love purple seals

[narrow wadi]

not rly, the 5 extra chips per level does eventually stack up, pairs are undeniably the top 1 hand for gold stake. high cards i have at third cos it does exactly the same thing a tiny bit worse

[wanton breach]

Nobody hates purple sel

[woven spire]

ive had better runs with baron that with idol, i like the gambling on idol too ngl

[wanton breach]

I'll try doing more pair run then

[acoustic kettle]

Baron is easier to hit than idol

[narrow wadi]

for baron to be not worthless u need to have so much already

[atomic trout]

🟣 Stakes victory

[narrow wadi]

imo the hands worth playing on gold stake are pair, straight, high card, 4oak. obviously there are very niche situations to do something different but generally u shouldn't be playing something other than these

[supple veldt]

any fun interactions or tech for zodiac deck?

[wanton breach]

Does straight scales that good?

[acoustic kettle]

Yes

[narrow wadi]

it's +3mult per planet, this basically means u don't even need good +mult

[supple veldt]

saturn scales insanely good

[wanton breach]

Cuz i never scale straight

[acoustic kettle]

+30 chips (?) And +3 mult per level

Is great

[wanton breach]

Hmm that would be fun

[narrow wadi]

here is my jokerless challenge build to show u how insane the scaling is

[supple veldt]

doesn't need chips, doesn't need +mult, just needs some deckfixing and eventual xmult

[wanton breach]

Yeah, level 34 high card is only like 500 ish chips

[supple veldt]

or get telescope and you don't even need xmult lol

34 high card is 350 chips

[narrow wadi]

the chips are obviously great but the real power is the mult

[supple veldt]

and 36? mult

or 35

[narrow wadi]

35

starts at 10 chips 1 mult

[supple veldt]

ye

[narrow wadi]

wait

[acoustic kettle]

Both really

[narrow wadi]

is it 5 chips

[supple veldt]

10

[acoustic kettle]

You never need a chips joker for straights

[supple veldt]

starts at +10 +1 and goes up by +10 +1

or starts at 15 i forger

[wanton breach]

How to deck shape for straight then?

[supple veldt]

or 5 maybe im dumb

[quiet zodiac]

It's 5

[narrow wadi]

i think the power of straights is that u don't need +mult, pairs u can still eventually sell a chips joker at like level 20+ hand but u could never even think of selling +mult

[supple veldt]

i am dumb

[acoustic kettle]

Well level 20+ vs not needing one at all

[narrow wadi]

that's true tbf

[narrow wadi]

u either go for one specific straight and kill everything else but this is very resource intensive, u can also start by killing aces and 2s and basically just getting all the cards more in the middle

[acoustic kettle]

And straughts is a 5 card hand which is more chips

[narrow wadi]

after killing aces and 2s u go to k/ 3s and so on

[acoustic kettle]

20 chips from cards at the very least

[narrow wadi]

the worst cards for straights are the ones either side cos u can only get connecting cards on one side of them (ik a-5 straights exist but this doesn't work with a king so it's still harder to draw a straight with an ace than with like a queen)

[acoustic kettle]

I want a
3 2 A K Q straight

😔

[heavy hare]

i just unlocked bloodstone after abstaining on it because of all the slander

and almost immediately won a run with it

bloodstone is peak

[languid heron]

Þe rng will hate you one day

[heavy hare]

nah rngesus is on my side

also helped i had a blueprint a dusk and a photograph plus red seals but that can be ignored

[narrow wadi]

i was gonna respond by pointing out that this is not something you can do in poker but then i realised that you also cannot delete cards in poker

[heavy hare]

yummy gold stake on another deck

[acoustic kettle]

I can

[heavy hare]

nah wdym

[acoustic kettle]

Just rip them apart

[heavy hare]

i eat card

it deletes

[acoustic kettle]

In front of the dealer

[narrow wadi]

how are u copying cards then?

[heavy hare]

printer

[acoustic kettle]

I have my own supply

[narrow wadi]

ah ok

[heavy hare]

[narrow wadi]

mb

[heavy hare]

photocopier

[narrow wadi]

i guess balatro is completely accurate to poker

[acoustic kettle]

You don't bring 500 cards in your pocket to poker?

[heavy hare]

badly drawn copy

[heavy hare]

100%

[primal rock]

Do you even use death with straight builds

[narrow wadi]

i should go try and play a flush 5 in a casino

i'm sure they will be impressed and happy

[heavy hare]

fifteen sevens and eights (trust its optimal)

[acoustic kettle]

I want tabletop balatro

[amber forge]

I wouldn’t go to a casino that steals $1 per card played

[heavy hare]

hjave fun calculating 😭

[narrow wadi]

you want more middle cards and less like aces and 2s (if these are gone then ks/ 3s) having more cards like j-6 is helping u draw straights unless u keep copying just the same card

[acoustic kettle]

Steals your entire net worth for playing a hand you played most

[narrow wadi]

u also always wanna be deathing a blue seal or something

[acoustic kettle]

It'd be fun

Balatro calculator exists

Just use that

[narrow wadi]

ignores my hand the second time i have a pair

[acoustic kettle]

Forces the player to play 5 card hand

Well not that bad

[narrow wadi]

with the mechanics that wouldn't rly matter

[acoustic kettle]

The dealer stealing 2 of your cards everytime you play a hand

[narrow wadi]

it would matter if all 5 cards had to be used by the hand

[narrow wadi]

poker is generally only 1 hand so this one also wouldn't matter

[amber forge]

Dealer feels a bit mischievous and gives you 1 less card

[atomic trout]

You guys were right. Chips only

[narrow wadi]

this is fire

[atomic trout]

High Card for the win

[narrow wadi]

dealer doesn't let you play any cards until you sell them a joker

[acoustic kettle]

Still played but not counted

[narrow wadi]

lmao ye, u show 4oak and the dealer just looks away

[acoustic kettle]

Straight flush
"Nah fam"

[narrow wadi]

i don't see any straight flush

[fallow fog]

dealer deals ur hand face down and forces u to play random cards

[narrow wadi]

will there be a gay flush in poker 2 and what would it look like?

[narrow wadi]

this would be hilarious

[acoustic kettle]

All polychrome

The cards shiny

[amber forge]

But the dealer will take a $10 bribe to change their tomfoolery

[acoustic kettle]

The dealer forcing you to use one random card for your hand

[fallow fog]

nah i js casually throw the luchador i have with me at them

[wanton breach]

The photo is haunting me

[acoustic kettle]

The luchador beats up the dealer for the tomfoolery

[narrow wadi]

this is the kinda situation a photo is fine to take, u have no scoring so kinda need it to win

[fallow fog]

ah yes

[narrow wadi]

mb u don't have 0 scoring u have splash

[wanton breach]

Straight at level 2 did carry me out up to ante 2

[fallow fog]

then gets ushered out the casino

[acoustic kettle]

That's why he has to be sold

[narrow wadi]

oh ur playing straights, photo is also honestly takeable in straights

[acoustic kettle]

Banned from the casino after

[narrow wadi]

cos ur mult comes from planets more than jokers

[fallow fog]

what does chicot do then

[narrow wadi]

the dealer has a brain aneurysm any time u sit at their table

[acoustic kettle]

He is the casino owner

He pays the dealers wages

[amber forge]

Has the dealer at gunpoint

[wanton breach]

I'm trying to do straight tho, a high rank straight can use photo i guess

[acoustic kettle]

They won't do anything to him

[fallow fog]

ceremonial dagger point

[wanton breach]

And That's what im gonna do

[acoustic kettle]

Perishable jokers are clowns with cancer

[narrow wadi]

u can generally just go for a straight with a single picture card, that's pretty easy. photo isn't amazing but it's still x2 mult for straights given u don't need joker +mult

it can also not work if u go against the plant but x2 on everything else is good enough to take imo

[fallow fog]

mansssss

u ruined it

[acoustic kettle]

Generally you still want a +mult regardless

In case you miss every straight

[narrow wadi]

if u miss every straight u are probably losing anyway, i do like having a +mult early to get my money up before i start pumping straight levels but i often sell it later

[acoustic kettle]

I am a truther

[brittle temple]

get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head

[fallow fog]

throw the sock and trib in as well

[brittle temple]

sock and trib are the future versions of photochad you see in the timetravel episodes

[acoustic kettle]

Trib gotta be the worst legendary

[fallow fog]

perkeo

[narrow wadi]

hard agree

[brittle temple]

yorick smiling

[fallow fog]

or yorick

[acoustic kettle]

Wrong

[narrow wadi]

the worst perkeo can be is +4 money per round which is golden joker which isn't bad

tribb can do nothing

[brittle temple]

wait is he actually hating on perkeo

[acoustic kettle]

Why would you take triboulet when you can have yorick

[fallow fog]

nope

[acoustic kettle]

When you can have canio

[fallow fog]

i frekin love perkeo

[brittle temple]

i shouldve known not to trust a c++

[brittle temple]

i like the flush five 64x

[narrow wadi]

yorick is consistent xmult after 2-3 rounds, once a joker gets to x2 mult it is good and that is very quick with yorick. tribb is on score xmult which is very inconsistent

sure tribb has some insane scores

but u don't need an insane score

u need just enough to beat ante 8

and tribb does not do that consistently

[acoustic kettle]

Consistent > big number

[brittle temple]

tbh just one or two colour changing tarots and you have consistant flush houses

i love trib

[narrow wadi]

uh nope

[brittle temple]

yes*

[narrow wadi]

ur not consistently drawing a k/q full house with 2 colour changing tarots

[brittle temple]

you dont know me

im a king magnet

[acoustic kettle]

I thought you're based santa💔

[idle haven]

welp i guess thats it

[narrow wadi]

u don't need to be playing flush house with tribb, 4oak is what u shld be going for, the issue is that this is still inconsistent and can be completely killed by the plant if it's all ur scoring

[brittle temple]

have you considered that you're the one who isnt based

[brittle temple]

flush five*

[fallow fog]

holy

[brittle temple]

flush house to 5oak to flush five

[fallow fog]

wheres ur hack man

[idle haven]

never showed up

got to ante 13 round 45 with this build

[brittle temple]

thats a pretty big wee

[narrow wadi]

this is just looking for insane scores not trying to win, 4oak is enough to win, u don't need to handicap urself by forcing something even less consistent

[amber forge]

I had a trib run on gold stake today, that plus photochad made for a very easy win

[brittle temple]

why would i bother with winning when i can get an insane score ante7 and die next round

[narrow wadi]

ah we have different objectives from the game, in your case tribb is good

tribb is a bad joker for winning, a good joker if u like big numbers

[brittle temple]

thanku

[acoustic kettle]

On score has a high ceiling

But low low floor

[fallow fog]

in hand trigger even higher

[brittle temple]

tbh most of my runs are on plasma which is why i dont like yorick

[fallow fog]

and an even lowrr floor

[narrow wadi]

yorick is good on plasma

[brittle temple]

i got him once on another run and he cleared

[brittle temple]

not really

[fallow fog]

even on plasma u try to multiply ur mult

[acoustic kettle]

No?

[brittle temple]

unless you have other jokers also giving you plenty of mult

[narrow wadi]

plasma uses chips jokers to clear early game then around ante 4 u start trying to pivot to +mult/ xmult

[brittle temple]

nah i can clear with just chips

[fallow fog]

higher ceiling than on score trigger??

[narrow wadi]

past purple stake this is very hard to do

sure white stake u just use chips jokers

but that's just white stake

it isn't enough the vast majority of the time in purple and higher stakes

[wanton breach]

It's really hard to do, but my superior hand size really helps out

[brittle temple]

you're getting a guranteed wee ante1 this christmas

[narrow wadi]

paint brush and juggler are fantastic for straights

[wanton breach]

And superposition came in clutch

[fallow fog]

i only managed to do that once with marble stone and blueprint

and never again

[brittle temple]

my first gold stake win was wee on plasma

my goat

[narrow wadi]

ye it's for sure possible- i've done it a couple times when my chips were all broken. the consistent play is always to pivot to mult around ante 4 tho

[amber forge]

I think my first gold win was ghost with 2 chads and 2 photos lol

[fallow fog]

u prolly should move the empress enhancement to the far left to get more photo valur

[fallow fog]

yeh ik, doing only chips on plasma gold stake was a fun side project

[wanton breach]

Can i do immolate ? Would it make it harder to do straights ?

[narrow wadi]

lemme see what's on ur screen

[fallow fog]

nope, it makes ur deck smaller

[narrow wadi]

immolate is generally still good for straights

[wanton breach]

Just in general

[narrow wadi]

but u don't wanna be killing like all ur 10s or something

[wanton breach]

Yeah

[fallow fog]

just make sure u kill as little middle cards as possible

[narrow wadi]

generally u still take immolate, if u have a ton of middle cards u probably don't want to tho

killing 5 different cards is very chill, killing 2-3 of a card is very not chill

unless that's an ace/ 2

[wanton breach]

That's really good advice, thank you both of you

[narrow wadi]

np

[fallow fog]

yeh but generally smaller deck always equal more consistent draws

[narrow wadi]

i'm always very happy when i see a small deck

[fallow fog]

dont look down then

[narrow wadi]

looking down is a constant source of happiness for me dw

i feel like opinions on deck size have a weird correlation with skill: an entirely new player probably doesn't care much about thinning out the deck, semi experienced players generally care way too much about making sure the deck gets as small as possible

obviously a small deck is always better but it doesn't matter that much on most builds

[fallow fog]

experienced players just click randoms things on screen and number go big

[wanton breach]

LOL guess who's crawling back

[brittle temple]

its in my muscle memory to buy the baron

i need dna

[wanton breach]

I can make joint straight and photochad operation here. Now this is Fun

[narrow wadi]

straights are probably the best hand for photochad in gold stake

it is way more viable to photochad straights than like high card or pair

[fallow fog]

that saturn base mult is so yummy

[wanton breach]

I appreciate how fast runner scales

[narrow wadi]

it needs to scale that fast to make u not sell it cos straights scale chips so fast as well

[brittle temple]

did you reply to the wrong message

[wanton breach]

I just need 4 finger or shortcut

[fallow fog]

i think i did

[fallow fog]

always shortcut

[narrow wadi]

it is by far the fastest scaling chips joker because otherwise it would be useless on straights

[fallow fog]

actl issit always

[wanton breach]

Real

[narrow wadi]

i will take a four fingers on any straight run without shortcut then miss shortcut

four fingers is still a good joker

shortcut is just so much better

[brittle temple]

wee always forgotten 😔

[wanton breach]

Faster than wee

[narrow wadi]

oh uh second fastest lol

[wanton breach]

I think the fastest is the stone card joker tho

[narrow wadi]

ye mb i'll change it to fastest that isn't rare

[fallow fog]

no but with four fingers u can play straight flushes so much easier

[wanton breach]

Stone card + marble joker is scaling really fast

[fallow fog]

only when paired w marble

[brittle temple]

you can do multiple straights a round

[narrow wadi]

2 jokers for 25 chips a turn, 1 straight played is a higher joker to chips ratio

[wanton breach]

Stone card the fastest, built for sprint, runner the best, built for marathon

[narrow wadi]

agreed, i only found out about this like a week ago

the straight and the flush not having to be the same hand to count as a straight flush is rly cool imo

[brittle temple]

thats really funny

[narrow wadi]

and not what i expected

[fallow fog]

proceeds to wonder why i scored so much lower

hehe

[narrow wadi]

i didn't play the straight flush lol, i just screenshotted cos it's funny that it works like this

it is a flush and it is a straight

but the flush is not a straight

and the straight is not a flush

[fallow fog]

exactly

[narrow wadi]

i can't tell what challenge that even was

[fallow fog]

i wonder if four fingers wld confuse the 5oak to a flushfive

[narrow wadi]

if 4 were the same suit surely it would

[fallow fog]

judging by the amt of money

prolly the luxury tax one

[fallow fog]

havent tried it tho

[narrow wadi]

nah i always roll down to zero in last shop

all my runs end with poverty

[fallow fog]

urgh

cant tell then

[narrow wadi]

it just looks so normal

lemme work out what it could be

[fallow fog]

no its definitely luxury tax

u have ten hand size

[narrow wadi]

i doubt i would have had palette so ye

[fallow fog]

unless u somehow got both vouchers that run

[narrow wadi]

wait

uh

no that's very possible

i'm always taking hand size on straights

[fallow fog]

thats the highest chance i guess

[fallow fog]

fk

i remember for my luxury tax run i had vagabond

so that was very fun

[narrow wadi]

it could be xray and inflation but imma ignore those cos it would be very unlikely, build is too strong for inflation and everything is face up which is possible but crazy unlikely for xray

[fallow fog]

yeh so highest chance

luxury tax?

[narrow wadi]

that means it could only be omelette or luxury tax

and i know it isn't omelette cos omelette was like the third ever run i did

so has to be luxury tax

[fallow fog]

its not omelette

cause the blind gives u money

[narrow wadi]

how do u know from the screenshot that the blinds have given me money?

[fallow fog]

under score requirement it shows the dollar sign

[narrow wadi]

oh ur right

[fallow fog]

so luxury tax it is

[narrow wadi]

it could technically be inflation but there's no shot i would be that strong with inflation

like that build wouldn't make sense

i wouldn't be buying michael

or red card

[fallow fog]

red card is such a bad joker for inflation

[narrow wadi]

fr

[fallow fog]

imagine running campfire fir inflation

[unreal iron]

i remember i beat inflation with only a nat negative a1 s1 madness

never touched it after that

[narrow wadi]

lmao

[icy hollow]

Lol

[wanton breach]

I greeded the gold cards here XD

[unreal iron]

skip

[icy hollow]

I got so lucky for my inflation run

Riff raff and dagger

Lmao

[narrow wadi]

i think inflation is the first challenge i had to think for, the last 3 (golden needle, cruelty and jokerless) were the only challenges i found difficult

[unreal iron]

i full skipped golden needle to win

throwback my goat...

somehow

[narrow wadi]

this shouldn't work surely

[unreal iron]

and yet it did

[icy hollow]

Run is deadanyways so im taking it 🗣️ 🔥 (also playing phone without anim skip is so ass 😭 😭 😭 )

[narrow wadi]

that's crazy

[twin lantern]

Can someone explain how erosion works? The card not the one that occurs in nature of course ☝️🤓

[narrow wadi]

only challenge i skipped a lot on was fragile

[unreal iron]

so a deck is made up of 52 cards

every card that goes below 52 is +4 mult

so a 50/50 deck is +4 mult

[lyric shore]

8

[unreal iron]

right

[fallow fog]

oh fk

[unreal iron]

isnt erosion +4

am i crazy

[narrow wadi]

it is

[twin lantern]

Yeah it's +4

[narrow wadi]

so a 50 card deck is +8

[fallow fog]

my brain

[unreal iron]

also exception in the abandoned deck where 40/40 doesnt count for erosion

[fallow fog]

yej its plus 4

[unreal iron]

its still the default deck size

very niche joker

[fallow fog]

and the challenge deck w 32 cards

[unreal iron]

believe it or not

[twin lantern]

Is it not +4 for each individual card?

[unreal iron]

theres a challenge deck like that???

is it the no face cards one

[unreal iron]

yeah

[fallow fog]

mad world

[unreal iron]

so however many cards removed from the base deck (also must be under the base deck number) you get +4 mult accordingly

[narrow wadi]

erosion sucks as a scaling joker, but is great as a joker that has already retroactively scaled

[unreal iron]

so erosion doesnt count if you removed 2 cards from a 62 card deck

[narrow wadi]

i'm not gonna take it (unless i have trading card) early but sometimes it shows up already at like +24

[narrow wadi]

it counts cards under the starting amount

if u add 2 cards and remove 2 cards that is a net zero cards

[unreal iron]

forbidden erosion vagabaond

hung man weeeee

[brittle temple]

erosion should take away 200 mult if you have a 100 card deck

[fallow fog]

erosion pareidolia canio trading card

[unreal iron]

negative mult

[narrow wadi]

fire emoji

[twin lantern]

Is that good?

[fallow fog]

amazing

[unreal iron]

very

its a dream come true build

[narrow wadi]

ur getting a minimum of +1xmult per turn

[fallow fog]

immolate + x5

[unreal iron]

and also erosion scaling

now get some chips and you dont even need planet levels anymore

[fallow fog]

everything settled

[fallow fog]

nah lets use blue joker

[unreal iron]

hell nah 😭

squimbo my goat clearly

or something funny like stuntman

[narrow wadi]

blue joker is technically a scaling joker

[fallow fog]

antisyn

[narrow wadi]

but it's good not because it scales

I just looked it up an omg

[twin lantern]

I gotta try this

[icy hollow]

Run is deadanyways so im taking it 🗣️ 🔥 (also playing phone without anim skip is so ass 😭 😭 😭 )

W dead wifi sending message 3mins late

[narrow wadi]

3 exact uncommons, 1 exact legendary is happening once in a thousand unseeded runs ngl

i guess if u try to force it every game it's more like 1/100

but ur dying 90% of the time

[fallow fog]

good luck i guess

[narrow wadi]

i'm considering taking more speculative pareidolias

it will lower my win% for sure

but it has so many fun combos

[fallow fog]

its fun tho

[narrow wadi]

that i never use cos i never take it

[fallow fog]

imagine midas vamp

[narrow wadi]

ye exactly, all the coolest combos have pareidolia

[fallow fog]

or dice business card

[narrow wadi]

it will for sure lower my win% a little but also raise my fun%

[fallow fog]

yep

[narrow wadi]

i would never buy it on a streak unless i already have the synergy

but maybe on a 0/1 streak i can take it speculatively

[brittle temple]

its a good timepasser if you're on a train (this is why i have 5 naneinfs)

[fallow fog]

i havent tried playing for streak

i play for the funnys

[narrow wadi]

[fallow fog]

hm

[fallow fog]

im finishing up the challenges

[narrow wadi]

doing c++ i did get to i think a 19 streak

[fallow fog]

thatll be it

[narrow wadi]
