why wouldnāt you either wanna go pair or 3oak tho
to enable flush house the minimum you need is a single suit tarot, for flush five you need at least 4 tarot cards
wordle but balatro jokers
full house is just 3oak with extra steps
Two?
Strength and a suit changer
perkeo
ah wait 3
and how would that benefit me
Okay this is sick, thanks for sharing
Bare minimum
ah yeah
oh š„°
it's two you're correct
Yes
too late
HOORAY
and i dont see how a FH joker would function. we already have 3x mult for playing 3 cards and 2x mult for playing pair
5x for full house obvi
it would function the same as those but be specific to full house.
the extra steps not being worth the lower draw probability for its scaling rewards from planets specifically. for joker specific builds benefitting on more singular ranks and played cards, 2 pair has a far higher probability of drawing in a standard/lightly modified deck
it's quite simple
well just have something specific for it
would that work for flush house?
What if
and break the design convention of balatro jokers?
how?
i think if there's to be a full house joker it should be something special and not just another The Something
I agree, just saying how it would work in that example
yeah it should be some generator like seance or superpos or smth
it should only show up when you have the duo or trio
other than to do list there is no joker that is hand specific. flush jokers work with any type of flush
full house isa combination hand
seance
yeah
?
it would work with any hand that contains a full house, which includes;
- Full House
- Flush House
Idk
yeah there is 0 intensive to go for full house with how 2 pairs and 3oak work
tdl
sixth sense requires specifically a high card 6
He said that
a single 6 is not a poker hand
i mean its funny
make yorick gain x1 mult per full hourse played in a row
high card
full houses are both two pairs and 3oak
both of which are decent hands
and then full house just has nothing going for it
and get what 3x mult? or 4x mult?
very little going for it, yeah
I think it should be x2
why is why i propose for earth to scale better
like why play full houses when you could just play 3oak or two pair
that.. doesnt solve the issue?
they still have nothing going for them you just inflated their stats
It gives more scoring cards
it does solve a major part of it, but it creates new issues
And enhancements are really useful
the stats is what makes hands good
scaling is itself a very big reason to go for a hand
I didn't say fh has zero reasons to play towards, im saying the reasons are both below easier poker hands in terms of drawing power. with pristine value generators and hyper deck fixing you still technically have fh be the jack of all trades for both joker specific poker hand and planet scaling poker hand. neither good or bad. in a comparison and consistency battle, it's down in the bad area
The pair in question
high card is 5 x 1
pairs are 10 x 2
two pair is 20 x 2
thunky did that for saturn and now look at it
"big reason", not the only reason. the other part of the equation is boss vulnerability, consistency, and joker synergy
that isn't what is meant by scaling
but what works with full house works with easier more consistent hands which is the problem
There should be more bosses that target jokers
pluto is +10 chips +1 mult
I am very glad you're not on the playtesting team
No.
uranus is 20, 1
earth does have shit stats but that's not the entire reason for why it sucks
It could be an ante 8 boss
in idk how many hours
there are too many reasons
I have had maybe one win on gold stake using full hourse
im down for this now because it decreases violet vessel chances
boss which disables golden ticket specifically:
i think i have 2. one was few minutes ago and one i forced a fh build because i never had one before
Because most bosses target the cards
every other time i try to fh i either pivot to 4oak or 3oak
Why 4oak
because 4oak is good
I've had many full house builds, but they're probably the least common base poker hand build I run besides Straight Flush
Instead of 5
5oak sucks
5 is scary and inconsistent
and f5 is too much work usually
because 5oak scales only 5 chips faster for significantly worse consistency
thatās what I thought
most of my fh builds during my streak arc happen to be freak accidents
5oak is to 4oak as fh is to 3oak
usually only ever worth for higher base & more triggers
the main reason to play it is wee
scholar
very rarely will I replay the same fh run in my head and say yeah doing a 2 pair run would've killed me
but they're just so niche that 5oak is basically irrelevant to a8
I play 5oak actually
itās usually on erratic though
confirmed based on my mobile planet stats
Yall play straights more often than fh
yeah
how did you get to 6001 pluto uses??
guys
I wouldnāt pay attention to Pluto
my friend doesn't believe that pairs are meta
he keeps discarding until flush
how do i show him the ways
Let him learn
zamn
you're realistically only playing 5oak for wee
the difference is that straights are actually good
oh vic already said that š
Whatās the big difference
I have a couple questions
Aside from scaling
50% more mult, 100% more chips
than jupiter
full house is awkward to build towards and extremely overshadowed by 3oak
just like in real life, Earth sucks in this game
Since you are likely only refering to mult scaling, I should note that for some stupid reason Saturn also gives a heck ton of chips.
what
for the cost of slightly more varied card draw probability and deck thinning tools which may or may not always be required
miaaw
straight takes as much effort to draw as flush on gold stake
any1 has a working strategy? i cant keep winning im mean my economy grows big i always reroll and i cant get the good jokers
Maybe?
uh i just think straights are fun
No????
How, how is this the case??
scaling jokers are very consistent
why is jupiter so high
why isn't uranus 2nd
why is 4oak so low
why are you lesbiab
matador enabled run, my beloved
Should I make a new profile solely for gold stake
5 card hands are 5 card hands
girls
where did he go ?
Please tell me when you actively went for straights on round 1 instead of flushes when you hand leaned towards neither.
the bite of 27
recovering flush addict from when I was a noob
played endless for a bit until I realized it damaged my stats before starting a new profile
idk
i love my gf
I sold it so I wouldn't lose interest from the rental bus
valid
finding a flush that 1 shots the ante 1 big blind is easier than finding a straight that does so
why are YOU not lesbiab
so are pairs suddenly shit because they're bad in round 1
you make zero sense
im neurodivergent
it's a very different statistic
They're easier to draw than flushes in a base deck, but flushes are significantly easier to fix for
that hasn't stopped me
hasn't stopped me
:3
in poker sure but i think with balatro rules (8 hand size + discards) flushes are easier
we'll see where I go from here
they should make bloodstone be a 2 in 2 if you play a straight flush with it
We're talking about the effort it takes to draw them.
Last time I checked, every tarot card that makes straights easier makes flushes easier as well.
The exception is strength, but even so the suit changing tarots affect more cards than that.
i don't have the numbers to back this up though
Gng what so I do here
make bloodstone 2 in 2 for straight flush
they should make bloodstone a PILE OF FUCKING PEBBLES I HATE THAT SHIT
Is being gay neurodivergence?
hence the default poker hand rankings
no
Like I can sell bottle and handing chad for blueprint
are we serious brah
Yes
But what will be betterr
.-.
Like Iām being genuinely curious
i'd sell cola for arrowhead
sell cola buy arrowhead maybe
being attracted to men doesn't affect the fundamentals of how you perceive the world
blueprint isn't as good on painted imo
no. gayness is not a mental disorder
yes
Itās white stake
That doesnāt make it any less different
no reason not to play optimally right
But what about blueprint š¤
wut
being not attracted to chicot does affect the fundementals of how you percieve the world tho
too expensive

u r crazy
you'd probably die in ante 2 or 3
K
can you show that changes the absolute frequency?
because the # of possible straights is still higher in a base deck of cards regardless of whether discards are accounted for or not
on first draw first blind i draw more straights than flushes, no numbers or math here just saying what i see
this isn't really the same thing but consider what happens if you're looking for 1 last card for a straight vs a flush
Well I think that cuz like itās like neurodivergence
for a straight you have either 4 or 8 outs, for a flush you have 9
But its not
serious question yall
is being dead neurodivergence
what
iirc it's correlated but i wouldn't say it's the same thing
no. "neurodivergence" is vibes-based and that doesn't pass the vibe check
most people are dead
But itās like neurodivergence because itās a spectrum
Guys is it possible to even play high chip straights with abandoned deck
yes?
no
wdym by high chip
cant one shot wiht a straight on abanonded
Like over 10, for example 7,8,9,10 and something
Oh alr ty
i think they are asking about a straight that one shots first blind
which is not possible with abandoned
you can strength but its not worth it so no
just go for a full house
in the first round I mean
on abandoned i usually just play 2 hands
full house or just 2 shot
i don't want to risk losing another dollar or two trying to draw a rare hand
yeah or hope for a good full house
or the rare flush that one shots
you would need to do a monte carlo simulation to determine for certain which is more likely to be drawn as there's no combinatorial solution for balatro's card draw rules
none?
is it like finding the perimeter of an ellipse or something
or is it just really hard
Thatās mean
uhhh
Thatās a mean thing to do to someone
Oh yeah šššš
show levels
you can sell pants if your deckfixing is good
i only have 7 each of kings and queens so it's not terribly good
Merry Andy is deck fixing
though at the same time
Yorick the GOAT!!!!
scaling yorick with andy while trying to draw full houses of kings and queens sounds horrible
2 pair works fine too lol
i get a few mil a hand
i'm not expecting to get past ante 12 anyways, it's only red stake
can pivot to pairs do you have a blue seal?
ah nvm i cant read
its 2p
2p at level 9 is like 160 chips?
because of the number of state spaces there basically can't exist a closed form combinatorial solution as you would need a fixed, well-defined sample space and a rule that applies uniformly to every outcome, which isn't the case as the probability tree branches differently based on hand quality (what poker hands are most likely to be drawn based on the cards already dealt and the remaining cards in the deck), i.e drawing AKQJ9 you would discard differently than drawing AAA97
also after one discard the number of branches in the probability tree is ridiculous, somewhere in the range of like 10¹² and 10¹āµ
i mean if you ignore things like "the numbers would be absurdly big" it seems like you could just calculate every possible discard choice for every possible ordering of cards in the deck
theoretically, sure, but Chess isn't a solved game because of these same issues
Help, what do I do?
you lose
Aw man
i think monte carlo simulating it would be somewhat tricky as well because do we have a definite Best Strategy for discarding for a straight ?
spend all ur money before u lose
AHHHHHHHHHH
"best strategy" being the set of discard choices at each stage that maximizes the EV of getting it?
This is important because that differs from best strategy in balatro which is also dictated by scoring
which I don't want to have to deal with yet lmao
andy or trousers? trousers at 52 rn
so close
coming up with a heuristic strategy rather than a best strategy would work well enough that it's okay for general information (i.e keeping sequences of 3-4 consecutive ranks) but wouldn't be necessarily right for specific scenarios
it would also only apply to the specific conditions used, so whatever handsize and discards you were simulating with
i wonder if modeling it with some sort of ml could give any insights
and i dont mean "chatgpt" i mean like actually do the thing correctly
math is one of the few things LLM are good at
i think yorick has enough scaling for now so andy probably goes...right?
he's x18
that's less concrete than just running a simulation as you can't see how you get from A -> B
aren't models like chatgpt still bad at it
that is a downside yeah
my thought is that observing the solution found using this type of method might point in the right direction to a formal solution
im not talking abt llms here
depends on the type of math
They're fancy predictive text algorithms, which would not even be remotely close to the models used for something like this
like this is where you'd set up your own system where the linear algebra box gets the input of "current game state" and it outputs "what i should discard"
which is actually more complicated for something like this than what I'm proposing. I'm not looking for a best strategy as that would be a ridiculous thing for me to try and prove rn, just a decent guess which is why a heuristic strategy -> Monte Carlo simulation would be more than enough
Alr... I have a weird lineup and weird gameplan... Am I willing to give up a joker here for Cavendish?
Playing Flush
āfreeā 7 dollars
I don't think so
if anything you should swap gift card
oh yeah if u just want to know if the heuristic is good enough you dont need to go to nearly as much effort lol
me neither, Swashbuckler is at +77 mult
i think trying several heuristics / combinations of the heuristics would be interesting as a comparison
also pretty practical
i technically could, but then I'd lose on the Baseball and the incremental swashbuckler +mult... hmm
in general id love to know the actual best way to play round 1 the most
as its not clear to me when you should be going for straight/flush sometimes
or when trying for fh after getting 3oak is worth it
ugh...free hologram scaling? (trousers would have to go, it's at 58)
watch wat doc does
which wont catch up to a 3x
is anyone try to help me beat black deck i can't beat it i am not that good, I always make it to the end
i usually go for straights if i see 3-4 cards close to each other between 8 and ace or flush if i have 3 good cards from same suit or 4 cards of same suit
unless hes run simulations/proved it somehow i would still want to see the results
what hes doing is surely close to optimal but i wouldnt be surprised if there was something that could push it further without being super taxing
i wish this wasnāt a set seed run, cant send pictures right now but i have four barons, brainstorm x blueprint yuri, and nat negative hallucination
this run is peak balatro
is replacing trousers worth here?
for cert to give free hologram scaling
what is your goal?
make it as far as i can i guess. i've already won the run
i get 2b a hand
if it's a full house
Painted deck is so hard wow
oh it's you again
nah the brainstorm lady
is anyone try to help me beat black deck i can't beat it i am not that good, I always make it to the end
which difficulty
ok NOW trousers has to die surely
white i am just not that good
cool we hit e12
ok i was asking partially bc how much experience you have determines the type of tips i was going to give lol
if you're dying at the end of the run you probably aren't scaling your jokers enough and/or aren't keeping your economy good and have joker slots with useless jokers
ideally you want scaling jokers a lot of the time
#let him live
also managing econ well can let u get better jokers
generally try to be at or above $25
ok thank you I will try to
also you should try to have 1 of mult, xmult and chips
generally if you have more mult, adding chips will help a lot, and vice versa
would i be able to share screen you and you help, iget it if you can't
probably not but you could send a screenshot
the reasons to go under that are mostly either a) i am going to die otherwise b) buying a value generating joker like golden that will recoup the lost funds from interest quickly or c) something exceptionally powerful
example:
a level 1 flush is 35 x 4
if we add 10 chips thats 45 x 4 = 180
if we add 10 mult that's 45 x 14 = 630
this is a hyperbolic example since mult and chips aren't really exchangable like that but you get my point
alright i will send screenshot when i need advice for my run hopfully i can make it past
yeah
xmult you can slam as much as you want and its just as good but the first +mult joker >> the second +mult joker in terms of how much it expands ur scoring
should i grab cloud 9 when i have $30
yes
yeah! consistent money per round!
Generational luck
probably
a little more always helps
cloud 9 is a very powerful econ joker
yeah
like i could come up with reasons not to take it but in most situations i buy it
at worst its a more expensive gold joker
at best you add more 9s to your deck and get rich while playing 5oak
i would take cloud 9 at like
$10 most of the time lol
i mean yeah i forgot the actual cost lol
I modified some old code from duck and it wasn't that hard to set up actually, the hardest part was just figuring out the heuristic strategy to use.
here are the results are 100,000 simulations
this is uhhh
hold on lemme explain the results
what is the heuristic?
Okay... you guys might think I'm crazy, but what do you guys think about...
deadass do you play balatro.
Yes.
I think the HC and Pairs will set off some alarms in your heads, but I have my reasons.
Who has gotten 151?
i mean the pairs are nuked from orbit lol
pluto >>> mercury with those values
why are we genuinely nerfing saturn
151 what
I made it into Ante 5 on Purple Stake with the wonkiest Joker setup ever
pairs did NOT deserve it
saturn also makes straights pretty garbage
took me a month but i finally did it lol
the 2pair card otoh is nutty
why are we also nerfing venus
like with those values i suspect 2pair is the play 90% of the time
Listen, Charrter we canāt hold your hand through it all. balatro is about gambling but what is the point of gambling if you donāt gamble yourself?
do i ditch hologram for chad? it's only at 5x
can this naneinf
no you need showman
+30 chips two pairs are as good as current pairs
your right I need to lock in
like why are we taking the good part of saturn and transplanting it onto the 3rd easiest hand to form lol
aggron pfp, i see you are a man of culture as well
hell yes
HC and Pairs are by far the easiest hands to play. If you have a way of getting lots of levels, then realistically the only hands you will play will be those easy ones.
I wanted to change this by adding a sort of... duality to planet cards.
HC and pair are missing eachothers values so that you still have to put some thought into one of the scoring type jokers if you are spamming levels.
Then, you may notice that 3Oak and 2Pair are also in a sort of duality. 2Pair for chips, or 3Oak for mult?
Full House takes the benefits of both as a reward for literally playing them both. Flush and 4oaks are basically the same, they are fine. Saturn no longer has the highest amount of chips of the common 5-card hands. It has enough of an advantage with having 3 mult. This also puts it in a duality with Full House.
but in any case, we ditch holo here right
i also am a garlic bread lover
found another issue with this :(
with my heuristic if you had 4 of a flush and 4 of a straight there is no "optimal strategy" and so you just don't discard lmao okay let me fix that for one
Basically, some times a certain hand is strictly stronger than another. I wanted to make it a more important choice by changing which planets give you a lot of mult versus a lot of chips.
ok but why do venus and saturn need to have less chips
doesn't like the color yellow
and with the discrepancy of chips and mult
the problem is that chips and mult aren't equally valuable
i like the general increase of all hands, there are a few quirks but i think hands increasing by mult and chips is important
high card and two pair will just overshadow their other counterpart
holy text wall
okay im willing to hear you out on High Card and Pair
but the 2pair and 3OAK doesn't really work
same with Full House and Straights because surpise surprise
Full Houses Don't Get Shit
the quirk in question is how flush house scales better than flush five but thats a small thing
because of the rest of the game having mult and chips at the frequency they do, chips from planets are typically better
š
Venus has a mult advantage over 2 Pair. It creates a decision between the two hand types. Mult is generally considered better (but that is not always the case), so thats why the harder hand to play has more mult rather than chips. Same with Earth/Saturn, mult is generally better but not always, which is why Saturn has it, since it is generally considered harder to play. If you need chips, then you should invest of full house instead of straights.
mult isn't better than chips
Straights are dead with that scaling, and 2 pair should not have 30 chips lol
1/15 decks are plasma
heres the problem
the others are not plasma
what e are we getting to chat
Pain
so both chips and mult are valuable for them
people use planets based on what they're working with
Foil Square, Holo Abstract, Constellation, and whatever Riff-Raff makes. Currently have Odd Todd and am going into Ante 6
if i need chips with your planet values its 2pair time
Of course not always. You are given both options between mutl/chips with this planet reworks, and have to decide what is best for you at this time.
Okay admitedly I put 2pair too high whoops
I'm using any planet I can get this run because Constellation
Yeahhh I meant to do 20 how did I make that mistake.
I don't like this idea at all
I FINALLY BEAT PURPLE STAKE
and with how much more common +mult jokers than +chips, two pair and high card are going to be obviously better than their counterpart in 90% of scenarios
this type of design doesn't work very well
okay so im using 3oak
and i have a decent amount of levels in it
and my perishable stuntman/any source of +chips dies
fuck do i do now?
does 3oak scale better than 2 pair already?
yes
with +20 you are now probably considering pluto too?
i mean it doesnt address the problem of "98% of the time, i care about chips from the planets"
it's a harder to draw hand
in concept this is cool
but in practice it falls flat
ok then i have no problems with hand levels
i think the planets are already good
would this score enough to win, or do i need to use the safety net justice alredy
the only hands i want to get changed are flush and full house
maybe give earth a small bump
ig it makes early planet use harder to justify at the expense of destroying the viability of several hand types
instead of +25 chips its +30
Discard until flush
Metal sonic
is this peak plasma deck?
*neo metal sonic
also adding onto this
It's still metal doe
More
would anyone do a mult plasma run with that kind of uranus scaling
would each of them take away from the hand size, or only the 2 og?
pairs are dead, 3oak are dead, full houses are even deader
MORE CHIPS
anyone):
Thank you eternal rental seeing double Iāll never talk bad about you again (it was last reroll and I had one dollar to my name)
just 2 coz my hand size was 5
Sent that message on accident I wasnt done lol
peak plasma deck is at least one wee with over 2000 chips
holy handsize
I adjusted the heuristic to account for scenarios where there was no "optimal" I.e with 4 of a flush Vs 4 of a straight (the hand with the most hits is prioritised now).
based on this, flushes are more likely to be drawn than straights in a base deck
well you usually don't get planets in the earlygame
If that was the whole message id be stupid of an argument
tarots card need to be changed...
finally
make strength 3 cards and lovers (wild cards) 2 cards
also probably make magician (lucky cards) 1 card
ig i needed more chips
my answers have been solved
wild card needs to be 2 methinks
that doesn't solve the main issue with wild cards though
magician is good the way it is-
which is that they open you up to too many boss blinds
it used to be like this in the beta which was later changed
for obvious reasons
im considering making a mod that sets the planet values like thag when i get to my desk lol
im pretty confident that what a lot of us are saying would become pretty apparent
3 card strength or 2 card lovers
well the former
i see
the latter will be reworked while still impactful as one enhancement
Rick: Yo
probably not an amazing idea
this is my stance
Does anyone have tips for not letting nerves break your run? Heading into Ante 7 on Purple Stake for the first time
i feel like 2-card lovers with wilds not being debuffed by suit-specific boss blinds is too good tho
i dont think about it tbh
oh yeah this could also use +10 chips
didnt mean to reply lol
In the early game, you generally want mult to get by. In the late game, usually having a LOT of mult is what helps you win.
Saying that chips is the only thing that makes planets good is just... incorrect. If thats your playstyle, then great. But plants have value in their chips AND mult, and saying that all low chip planets or all low mult planets are useless is a bit silly.
It depends on the run what you want more. Thats why I made it a choice for most planets except the very high power ones.
VERY big asterisk *, this isn't with the best strategy as there is no proven best strategy, but it's an okay approximation
curveball balance would be to buff venuts as well for no reason
ok gtg
i think pairs have enough jokers to be considered over high card so changing the chips to be the same is safe
I was stupid and accidentally deleted my message literally twice, thats why it took so long to type out š
But I can't respond to anything else.
i like venus scaling because chips is exactly 10x the mult
planets are good for providing chips as a source if you can't find +chips
gah damn we almost hit e15 with this hand...
but the mult is also useful for glass cards and such
How hard is orange stake
it makes me happy i hope it stays like that
and also big number better
if you're confident with purple stake, you can beat orange stake
I did get my first purple stake win
makes sense cause how are you going to logic your chances of finding the last card once or twice
i just realised
my 2 favourite decks (magic and ghost) both start with consumables
Huh.
what if im not confident with purple stake
Rate the Joker setup: Foil Square, Arrowhead, Holo Abstract, Poly Swashbuckler, Constellation
arrowhead š
put a "starting hermit" in your deck description and im sold
Add More XMult
Playing Two Pair build on Checkered
i still say that pairs work fine if not well if the whole game ran on black deck juice with two extra discards for the blue stake removal
Love a blueprint canio run
(not rework btw, idk what that would be yet)
Swashbuckler is Polychrome and Constellation is at x3
we'll have to see how the gamestate will look like after thunk's rework of blue stake
i still think the parent problem is that there's no reasonable interest in going for high reward builds
and ig blue seals
but im about three months into black deck don't listen to me
even just removing blue stake is enough to change so many things in ways people wouldn't immediately expect, but then it's actually going to be replaced with something along with a myriad of other balance changes
will there be a new rebate joker who knows
will skip tags be manual instead of automatic
I so hope that rebate gets nerfed to $3
will people finally see the light and see that 8ball is actually really strong
8 ball is
8ball is just okay
Is it possible to unlock invisible joker using painted deck
That's how I did it
I'd want it to proc almost all the time so yeah ofc idc
yeesh. guess i am making it to ante 15 after all
8 ball is just fine for a common tarot generator
yeah
i can see changing the rate to 1 in 3 but idk if it needs it
wow constellation! too bad it's ante 14!
timing can be wack for blue seals but that's about it
Don't panic. Going into Ante 8
3 discards makes 8ball stronger already
also makes superpos stronger which is nice
yes
i need to beat brooke before 1.1 comes out
Violet Vessel. Am I cooked?
and aces are both the highest (ace king queen jack 10) and lowest (5 4 3 2 ace)
context hat
yes
holy shit it makes sense now
Needs 1.2m
is this how it felt to discover photochad
zawg ik what vv does
it's Really Big
I hate Bloodstone
i love bloodstone
Using Arrowhead
i find it funny how out of the Suit Based Gemstones onyx agate is just... there
Bloodstone is The Guy
Arrowhead is just a chill guy
Rough Gem is neat
and then there's Onyx Agate...
plasma deck is just nnoying to gs, i did orange stake in 2 hours and i cant get through gold
Bloodstone is ass
Arrowhead is the goat
Rough gem is okay
Agate is decent
ive never seen someone use agate
agate is fib but for clubs, it's very good
most normal ppl don't get c++ repeating plasma
bloodstone is the one that i see talked about because people see on score xmult and start foaming at the mouth
I hate Plasma Deck
i agree
this won't naneinf but still funny
I love Plasma Deck
i dont take the soul right, wee is at 232
wee can't be tossed anyways
crafty joker gotta go
neither can bloodstone...
grrr
his time is up
what if perkeo
agate is poor man's fib, slightly locked under a worse poker hand poker hand and slightly lower mult
sell bloodstone
same, it was my 1st gold stake(i have 2, and am working on abandoned for the 3rd, curently on black stake)
Yeah either crafty or bloodstone go
eternal
How much base mult do you have?
Kill crafty
@serene forge look at that center Joker
i don't care just sell it
why not the flush guy, im mainly playing oak hands
HOW
oh yeah, and its eternal
that could work too
damn almost e16.
canio.-.
if eternal jokers can't be sold why are they sold to you in the shop
ON ABANDONED DECK

wthwthwth
trib
triblue.-.

Let it ride
you can kill
OFCF I GET THE 2 FACE LEGENDAIRS ON ABANDONED
trib technically you can make work but im spiteful
canio is VERY usable on abandoned deck
ante 7 small blind
trib not so much
somehow I don't take here
oof
is this before or after ante 7 small blind
rip run. but hey i'll take it
you can skip blinds
yorick x29
also true
I can also score 1m in 1 hand
gold stickers
my first visit to ante 15 with full houses. that's something.
Nah, I'd C+++
WAIT45SF 2 souls around ante 4, canio then trib
holy ragebait.
Lol what
also is it funny how i found both trib and yorick ante 2
I hate Green Deck
you're gonna give mickel ideas
FIN DE PARTIDA
dead chat?
my first unseeded bean bug
noice. i had unseeded juggler bug the other day
Bean bug?
if crimson heart disables bean on the hand you win, exit to main menu and reenter the run
#unknown
or just look at the video lilo sent you to
what kind of VIRUS is this
damn when did you get on terraria arc
it's literally not for me but pop off š¦
Whatās the required score for ante 32?
Feel my pain
do i sell blue here?
90
i'd sell devious honestly
i played thru the whole thing with a friend in 2016 and then didnt really pay attention to it til the past 3 weeks or so
damn bro is comin back after 10 years
ight
we're getting balatro 1.1 and even gta 6 before terraria 1.4.5
video gaming is fr
and bludstone
I hate Bloodstone
holy midas
I cannot imagine GTA 6 coming out this year
It's absolutely getting delayed
what does Midas do
But the Baron never came..
I sincerely think that resetting bus here (4) is worth it for golds
The bus isn't gonna like that
a little bit controversial
Just sell bloodstone /j
congrats
"/j" is a tone tag that stands for "joke", just letting you know in case you don't
3 2 pairs might do it if you get to draw that
I decided against it, ending up with a good run if I don't mess this up
36 on pairs means I'm fine
well obelisk on painted is a free win
ofc
I just had some tragic luck, took a rare joker tag and got a perishable brainstorm and then took a rare joker from a spectral pack and got obelisk
wait cartomancer made temperance with egg im so back
i don't need oops anyway
complains from a stupid decision and a good hit
what else is new
aint no complaining here
tf
i said tragic luck its nothing negative about it except the way you read it
expected value is expected
Why are you taking rare tags?
why not
to make this statement
im playing how i want idc if i play perfectly
Skipping is kinda not good
as long as im having fun whats the problem
I kinda just wanna draw, black Deck Gold stake is draining me
woah the game punished me for something i did on my own accord, i guess ill lose and have to play this game i enjoy more, its so horrible
i hate when i have to play this amazing game more
mhmmmm
At least you actually like playing the game
Chaos has done a good job
if people dont enjoy this game they lying
Plus, free temperance value immediately
yh he has to go
Trib is balling
ehhhhhh
tragic
Not bad tbh, it's good safe guard for plant at least
would like a chicot more here tbf
oh hell yeah 3 hits from 2 lucky cards played 5 times
wait i think its not 5 times
i think its 4
The best Joker, Canio, is perfect for selling.
he has done a good job giving me 10 bucks
trying to deckfix with a stuntman feels like im doing it blindfolded
damn i got wheel with only a perishable joker and it actually hit
ill be good without more jokers for a bit tho so i guesss thats nice
gold stake plasma deck: never again.
nice
best buffon pack of all time
Round 1 what would be better here ?
is this gold?
i would say nanna cause it will help with the early game
Aight
so what exactly do the percentages mean?
is it something like "the probability that, after 2 'optimal' discards, this poker hand is the highest-ranking hand available"?
if so that's pretty useful information
i'd also be interested in the probabilities for trying to get specific hands
like if i'm trying to get a flush and only a flush
and if a 4oak or whatever shows up i discard it
Famous last words right there bromigo
Holy tough decision
Round 1 purple stake black deck
Sorry for my shit camera thatās blueprint on the left
blueprint trust
i'd stencil because it's black deck
no trust
you can just die otherwise
also stencil is better i guess
something like this would be nice for other poker hands
good boy
I think lucky cards are okay
Strength isn't really all that bad either
So it can stay as 2
Wild Cards definitely need a buff
i forgor how to play normal balatro after 2 days of just plasma deck.
magician was buffed from 1 to 2 so i'd rather it stay that way
strength is already very good
wild cards need a buff, lovers does not
free temp value i guess?
The tarot itself is okay
with current wild cards, lovers could enhance up to 8 cards and i still wouldn't take it (bar license of course)
The enhancement however is definitely the weakest
I would actually take it
If it did that
I'm a wild card enjoyer
I like the idea of that enhancement so I really want it to become viable
if lovers enchaned 8 card ancient would go crazy, but any suit boss would destroy u tho
That's probably the buff it'll get
I hate Bloodstone
glass card my beloved saved me because i have brainstorm and chad
@still geyser
Ftl??
I love FTL Faster Than Light
do cards that get negative from like spectral packs have increased sell value or what
I fucking suck at it but I liked it alot
It's an edition
evil blueprint be like
why are we on 360p
It increases the value yes
thanks
oh wait i figured it out all my other jokers sell for like nothing thats why temperance wasnt that good
it is a quarter of the screen cause... idk
You bought the discount voucher?
yeah but i bought the jokers before it or does that not matter
well idk how many of them i bought before
it doesnt
alr so thats why
It doesn't matter if you did or not, the voucher will take effect
Because you made them cheaper
that's why clearance sale is bad for dagger
Kinda why I like Gift card alot
because it makes the scaling worse
Tbh, Dagger isn't that great anyways
it also makes egg and gc stronger in a way because their sell values are not affected
more people should consider this
fuck no
wha
dagger is literally just better swash
I took a second to think, yeah not good
But I just never found dagger good either
It's not bad though
8 or ace first also any jokers swap around or what
dagger is better than swash imo
same
less joker space
itās way better
swash is easier to use tho
pluh
and it looks cooler
but dagger clears
imo dagger is better than supernova
i agree
My opinion on both isn't that high
yea fr
But I'd say the same, Dagger at least get better faster the longer you have it
As long as you feed it
If I have Gift Card, I actually delay it's feeding
keep the dagger nourished and its a good scale mult
tbh swash should be a chip joker
sort of a stretch but one is proactive so um uh um š£ļø
wait real
Too much of a Grimbo fan
what's being thrown here? i'm running fullhouse/4oak/5oak
it would be more interesting and also blue is water
Your deck is thin enough
thats a good point
I think trading card has done enough
itās pretty inconsequential between walkie and trading card
yea
Walkie gives a little bit of chips
But that's a good sell too
Trading is erosion value
theyāre only gonna get +12 from trading card max
you could get bbc on the reroll
bbc doesnt sound right lol
and replace duo
if you're running higher poker hands you don't need walkie chips
š¦
i mean i've deckfixed around 10s and 4s to some extent
probably not surviving ante 10 anyway
Wdym? It's perfectly normal
BaseBallCard
What's your final score?
so trading card
i might just be dumb
yh ik
currently i manage 200k a hand
You can get to it, probably not pass it
what's ante 10
this is first shop ante 8
3mil boss blind
67
boss is VL but i can just sell superposition
never heard of it
We need to leave that stupid meme in 2025
sixty seven
i heard 2026 was supposed to be a meme reset
no
and everyone flashing back to 2016
"great meme reset"
2025 had the WORST memes oat
Let us celebrate the return of the Skyrim skeleton
That was never gonna last a week
That's not how the internet works
property in egypt
its a rollback actually, all memes from the past 20 years are now GAME! Z0mg
mehhhh
rollback? THROWBACK??
cicada 3301
did you know?
nose
no
did anyone know?
.
zomg
we can all agree 67 was ass right?
nah
yeah
WYM
anyway i prefer 67 to all that ai brainrot shit
"Whats 9+10?"
na am nat
spanish balatro players after the 47th "balatro balatrez" joke of the day
ok what now? trading card goes?
sell duo
as a spaniard i can agree.
superposish goes 
WHAT?
saving that for VL
You and I have some history
how
I was born in Philippines
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
i saw it on vine
second biggest reason Iām learning spanish is to be able to understand spanish balatro memes
im hyperventilating
this is the new meme of 2026 š
spain has beef with 20% of the world cant keep up w it
Some bits and pieces of Spanish stayed with us
anyways add me on musical.ly
yo bro add me on google+
I thought that was the British
lowk tuff
spain? bull? makes sense
but the world can't keep up with spain on plasma deck
We say "Amigo" alot, aswell as the numbers
Uno, dos, tres, quattro, Cinco
im spanish without the S š¤£
hey lets sell our useless bitcoin, that's nerd shit anyways
erm actually "quattro" is italian š¤āļø
if bread in french is pain
then i own a whole bakery šššššššššš
whole south america hates us tho lol
arrivederci
cuatro
Oh yeah, that is true
Because this might've been the right spelling

not to be confused with cuarto which means room
quat t t (triple t) ro
We also use that word here
yh cuatro is spanish
quatrƩ
genderless 4
cuarto means fourth too
tengo cuatro dólares en balatro š¢
quarter yes
cuatrocientos
Y'all definitely forced fed us Spanish back in the day
not the same thing but that too yeah
This is probably a Geometry Dash reference
lmao
gif-ified
nah that just means 400
this is the end times
so consensus is duo or trading card here?
[heavy american accent] yo tengo.. hamburgesuh..
Yeah I know but they're from the GD server
