[normal sparrow]

sad i thought it would work like madness

[nova junco]

Depends on what hand you're playing

[sullen lintel]

full house

[weak relic]

Yeah ig? What's your main poker hand?

[sullen lintel]

level 4 cuz it wont drop me earth

[visual turtle]

So do I take red card

[normal sparrow]

i mean, i wouldnt take it yet

[nova junco]

Probably yes since your 1st face card is giving 4x per trigger

[sullen lintel]

ok

[normal sparrow]

get some more econ so u can find it later, and try to get rid of all the non face cards

but im no expert pls dont listen to me

( if u die i dont feel as bad for listening to me )

[sullen lintel]

I do not think the run is making that far man

[nova junco]

But like if he can't play face cards for any reason the run is dead probably

[sullen lintel]

ok

[normal sparrow]

the plant

[sullen lintel]

i have retcon

[normal sparrow]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[nova junco]

I mean, the X2 from duo isn't gonna make a difference

[sullen lintel]

I took it

[nova junco]

Or the X3 for that matter

[normal sparrow]

the kings with the +4 mult kinda do help with it no?

[nova junco]

If he can't play face cards then there's no mult king

[torpid bridge]

Hologram is really off putting

[normal sparrow]

he has retcon tho

[torpid bridge]

I cant dig for my seals with it

[nova junco]

Then why have a X2 instead of a x4

[normal sparrow]

maybe still hasnt found it

idk man

[soft pendant]

Negative business card on the "Cruelty" challenge

[torpid bridge]

[nova junco]

I'm just saying sock and buskin is more points, the reason not to take it is it only applies to face cards but he's gonna have to play face cards anyways, sock or not

[torpid bridge]

Sock is only times 2

And on the hand level

[normal sparrow]

btw guys how do u even start to try jokerless run?

[nova junco]

He has 2 photo triggers tho

[torpid bridge]

The sock itself only x2

[soft pendant]

Isnt it just the shop? "Bram poker" is the same way

[nova junco]

Get money and get tarots, or so I've heard lol

[visual turtle]

I died

Aw

[nova junco]

I beat jokerless almost by sheer luck

[normal sparrow]

but whats the game plan

[terse vale]

sock and duo are just x2

[torpid bridge]

Ah u mean the brainstorm

[terse vale]

duo is only a bit better

[nova junco]

^

[normal sparrow]

like just make a bunch of poly and see how far it goes?

[torpid bridge]

Poly is worse glass

Play gladd

Glass

[nova junco]

I think try to get good stuff from standard packs

Seals and like mult cards for early game I guess?

[normal sparrow]

makes sense, im so used to have jokers do stuff for me

[visual turtle]

Oooh i got castle

[normal sparrow]

like im a master and their the slaves that idk what to do without them

[spark kernel]

Watching someone play in 1x speed is like getting skinned alive

[normal sparrow]

we all start somewhere right?

[visual turtle]

Oooookay so I might have died already

[spark kernel]

I even told this person to turn up the speed and he said no 😭 🙏

[frank grove]

i loveee 3oak builds

[nova junco]

I mean there's a reason why that's the default speed

If you're new you're gonna need it to be slow to actually understand what's going on

[normal sparrow]

i mean, when i started playing the game i didnt raise the speed immediately

[tiny raptor]

obelisk is elite idk how people hate on this joker

[marsh dove]

can a nanlet tell me how many cards i need to have to hit the normal single ecto serpent burglar naneinf

[sullen apex]

theyre based for that

[visual turtle]

Oh it's photograph
💔

That means the plant will appear eventually

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[serene forge]

44 on plasma iirc

[visual turtle]

And then I'll die because

[ivory portal]

Showman

[marsh dove]

no shot

[visual turtle]

I won't have enough glass cards

[ivory portal]

Always disappoints me

[tiny raptor]

obelisk on 5 hands ✅

[marsh dove]

are you talking deck or in hand?

[serene forge]

44 cards in hand i mean

[marsh dove]

yeah

okay

ill just make a bunch

[spark kernel]

I would play on 8x speed just for a dopamine hit in balatro

[visual turtle]

Okay i got constellation

[weak relic]

I js completed it the day before yesterday

[normal sparrow]

this seems like a lot of effort that Im not going to do

[acoustic kettle]

Naneinf hand in .5x

[weak relic]

≤3 hours of attempting it

Maybe less

[normal sparrow]

around 3 hours of suffering and sanity deprevation

[weak relic]

I lost track with time

[weak relic]

Didn't do much for me

[normal sparrow]

that tends to happen yeah

[frank grove]

I LOVE 3OAK builds, just vagabond and lucky cat just... simples

[spark kernel]

That must be a form of torture 😭 🙏

[visual turtle]

I
got
splash

Desperateness

[vocal rose]

interesting

[weak relic]

What's the point?

That -X1 for stencil

[visual turtle]

not surviving with pairs 💔

[tawny radish]

hmm

[visual turtle]

sigh

It's blackboard

there's no hope

[twin rune]

Blackboard is one of the most reliably good jokers in the game

[tawny radish]

blackboard is one of the jokers in the game

[visual turtle]

How am I supposed to have a hand with only 2 suits

And with 2 discards

[twin rune]

Just play everything in your hand that isn't a spade or a club

[frank grove]

use your hands to throw away the diamonds and hearts

another reason why pairs are goated rn

[tawny radish]

blueprint perkeo death everything

[visual turtle]

And if I still get diamonds and hearts

[acoustic kettle]

Discard them away

[visual turtle]

without any hope of clubs

[acoustic kettle]

Play pairs + 3 red suit

[frank grove]

yeah

[twin rune]

You don't need clubs to trigger it, you just need to get rid of anything that isn't a spade or a club

[weak relic]

Blackboard aka suit racism and apartheid

Epic

[acoustic kettle]

Blackboard is one of the easiest xmult to use

[spark kernel]

Hologram is goated

[weak relic]

Death by ante 3 cuz no flat mult

[frank grove]

talking about the goat

[visual turtle]

Phew glad I have splash
Ok it's working

Nvm

[surreal spruce]

Me when people hate on a goated joker

[spark kernel]

What is this shop 💔 🥀

[visual turtle]

I have to use the spade if I want to make a pair

[surreal spruce]

💔

[visual turtle]

What should I do

[twin rune]

Blackboard still triggers if you use the spade

[surreal spruce]

Discard the diamonds

[twin rune]

Problem isn't the spade, it's too many red suits

[surreal spruce]

No it doesn’t

Yeah

He needs to discard the diamonds

[frank grove]

yeah

[surreal spruce]

Find 1 singular black card

And he’s done

[weak relic]

Why is he still needing splash?

[visual turtle]

Ok i got all hearts I can use

[frank grove]

for chips

[visual turtle]

2 pair with 5 cards

[weak relic]

What even is stencil doing anyways?

Bbc it is

[frank grove]

its uncommon for bbc right?

[visual turtle]

Yeah

[vocal rose]

+15

[visual turtle]

Oh yeah i forgot stencil is useless now

[frank grove]

you need flat mult badly

[visual turtle]

What do i even do when this happens

[frank grove]

you can look at your deck and see what rank you have the most of left and discard to find pairs

[visual turtle]

Alright

[acoustic kettle]

Stencil is an uncommon

Don't sell it

That sell button is makin me anxious

[surreal spruce]

It may be better to sell splash than anything

[visual turtle]

Too late

[frank grove]

oh ..

[surreal spruce]

Depends how many chips it’s giving

Nvm

LMAO

[visual turtle]

I found enternal hologram

[strange compass]

Bro got all x mults

[frank grove]

oops all x mults

what is this plasma?

[strange compass]

I don't like how it just pops up and stays sometimes

[weak relic]

Stencil is a dead weight anyways

[visual turtle]

The only flat mult so far is half joker but
um
I need 5 cards

[frank grove]

yeah with blackboard half joker is tough

not impossible though

[weak relic]

Go find a blue seal

[visual turtle]

I can't

[frank grove]

what do you mean you cant?

[visual turtle]

there's no spectral packs in sight

[acoustic kettle]

Standard packs

[strange compass]

It got nerfed right

[frank grove]

they can show up in card packs

[weak relic]

And he has little to no econ

[visual turtle]

Then why don't I take hologram and level up pair/two pair

[weak relic]

The run might be dead

[frank grove]

with two scaling x mults, it shouldnt be dead

[weak relic]

I hope so, I'm just skeptical

[strange compass]

This can be saved easily if you just get base mult

Keep constellation and baseball

[frank grove]

yeah any base mult and its like easy as hell

[ivory portal]

would this be winnable

If I had ONE MORE BRAINSTORM FRON SHOWMAN

or mime

It gave me 10 photo

[visual turtle]

Okay then

[ivory portal]

3 rebates

No mime or brain

[strange compass]

What is this off brand Baron strat 😭

[ivory portal]

Man 😭

This all I got

[strange compass]

Did you not get that queen card

[visual turtle]

Do i get this one too

[strange compass]

That gives base mult depending on how many queens there are in hand

That card is also a knock off Baron

[ivory portal]

Which

[frank grove]

go to run info and look at how many times you've played hands and send it

[inland helm]

oh shoot the moon

[strange compass]

Yes shoot the moon

[frank grove]

i would probably take it instead of splash probably and just play pairs, dont force half though

[tired condor]

Thats…. Uhhhh

Thats a run

[visual turtle]

wdym don't force half

[tired condor]

Fucking ante 4 antimater on black

[frank grove]

like if you have 2 non black cards in hand and you have to play two black ones, play the two non black ones for blackboard probably

[visual turtle]

Oh

[frank grove]

like dont force playing only 3

[weak relic]

I still haven't put a gold sticker on Cavendish

[spark kernel]

Holy luck

[weak relic]

Perky

[spark kernel]

How did you know it was a perkeo

[inland helm]

fucked up in the crib sippin dr perky

[visual turtle]

ok im still ailve

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh.. 300 billion?

[gloomy vigil]

time for yello deck green stake

[atomic trout]

Ante 12 doesn't fuck around

[visual turtle]

Oh my im getting 610 mult

[spark kernel]

My run is blessed

[spice cypress]

hey

[visual turtle]

Okay balalala discord has shown me that blackboard is decent 😌

And that I don't have to deckfix to use it consistently

[spice cypress]

anybody has any tips for purple stake? i being stuck in it for a long time

[spark kernel]

What is this run i am so lucky (also what do i sell)

[visual turtle]

Aaaand I died

[weak relic]

Wall'd

[atomic trout]

Scale

[marsh dove]

4k in rerolls
no burglar
💔

whats crazy is i'd have hit naneinf anyway if the discard vouchers werent the literal last vouchers i picked up

i got cola on juggle tags and 2 more discards wouldve naneinfed

[visual turtle]

There's no hope

[atomic trout]

Depends on the Deck: Green Deck I spend money on scaling Jokers. Even an econ if possible.

[sullen aspen]

pair slops reaps another soul

[atomic trout]

Purple Stakes doesn't mess around. The scaling is too damn high!

[spice cypress]

im currently playing in red deck

[visual turtle]

Yeah no hope

[atomic trout]

I usually try to play strong hands, find scaling Jokers. xMult Jokers if possible. It's really luck

[night moss]

Just failed a gold stake yellow deck run due to the game not showing a singular +mult item in the shop, great game 🫩✌️

[atomic trout]

I never had fun playing Purple or above.

[spice cypress]

ok, thx for the help

[sullen aspen]

son u got

the duo

wnd green joker

free win

[visual turtle]

And if I don't get a 2 pair

or pair

Like last run

[sullen aspen]

brodie

its the second most common handtype

[spark kernel]

I dont know if i should take the baron or not

[night moss]

I used to hate playing purple stake or higher, because literally nothing was working, but randomly decided to play higher stakes one day, and it just clicked 😭. But the game can still make me mad every once in a while

[inland helm]

hows your deck

[visual turtle]

Yeah but there aaaaalways a chance of everything

[sullen aspen]

ur playing balatro

its rng based

[spark kernel]

A normal deck but with enhaced mult on number cards

[marsh dove]

do you have the boss reroll voucher and is your goal to win or to go endles

[visual turtle]

I got these

[inland helm]

prob not then

[spark kernel]

Just win

[marsh dove]

definitely not

[visual turtle]

Would 4 of a kind be considered a pair

since you have 2 of the same card (twice)

[marsh dove]

4oak isnt considered two pair in the game

[inland helm]

4oak contains a pair and 3oak, but not two pair

[marsh dove]

but yeah it feels like it should be doesnt it

[inland helm]

YEAH

[atomic trout]

I only beaten Plasma on Gold Stakes and my word. I didn't find it fun at aaall

[marsh dove]

the game has definitions for each of the hands internally that excludes it i think

[visual turtle]

Ok im not getting it

I don't think I can find

[marsh dove]

the games definition of 2 pair is explicitly 2 different pairs

[visual turtle]

4 of the same cards

[inland helm]

yeaaahhh

[atomic trout]

But what about 1oak?

[visual turtle]

I'll just
live off regular pairs I guess

[jade tinsel]

Oh my fucking god bro

[clever cypress]

Give me an oops all 6s PLEASE

[inland helm]

LMAO

get wheeled

[night moss]

I’ve beaten gold on red and blue decks, and for some reason those felt fine, but orange and gold on yellow deck feels like super hell 😭

[sullen aspen]

how

[inland helm]

no sixes?

[sullen aspen]

yellow is infinitely easier😭

[atomic trout]

Red and Blue both have that extra Discard and Hand, respectively, haha

[clever cypress]

I wish

[atomic trout]

Also, 1oak failed me

[inland helm]

you could get screwed over if you get incredibly unlucky

[serene forge]

here win

[serene forge]

why would you ever take a baron here

[weak relic]

1oak

[jade tinsel]

For some reason red deck is being absolutely miserable for beating all the stakes for me

[night moss]

I legitimately have no idea 😭

[visual turtle]

Ooh invisible joker is active

[marsh dove]

whenever i do the math on a bloodstone scenario it figures out to be that you dont have to be THAT unlucky to score waayyy below average

[clever cypress]

I know

[marsh dove]

so if youre doing a bunch of hands ur cooked

eventually

[visual turtle]

Aaand it copied
suck and blue skin

um

[spark kernel]

I CANT WIN NO MATTER WHAT

[clever cypress]

When I complete the run I'll drop the seed but I'm telling y'all, take the chad and take all the ankhs

[visual turtle]

what do I do

[atomic trout]

YAY the FLINT 😄

[serene forge]

oof

[atomic trout]

Nobody like the Flint.

[serene forge]

flint sux

[visual turtle]

Why would you pick that joker

[clever cypress]

I oneshot it with the triple 🪨

[jade tinsel]

I relate to this because for some reason red deck has been giving me the worst rng possible

[spark kernel]

I thought i would get something better if i rerolled the water

[serene forge]

skill issue what are we doing with 0 dollars in ante 6

[marsh dove]

i mean with double ancient joker you did

[atomic trout]

The water sucks at times at the start

[weak relic]

I forgor

Stickers aint allowed

[marsh dove]

did you play a heart flush and only score that much?

[clever cypress]

Money is for the weak

[spark kernel]

Yes

[atomic trout]

The most evil boss recently for me is the EYE. I can't High Card kill it.

[serene forge]

says the guy with 3 bloodstones...

[marsh dove]

tf

[atomic trout]

Your favorite

[clever cypress]

I literally got one from the shop one from a spectral pack and one cus I skipped a blind and (would you look at that) got an ankh

[night moss]

The Flint, what an annoying boss, lost countless challenges runs to it 💔

[visual turtle]

What do i do with two of them

[clever cypress]

Find a baron

[serene forge]

why would you take an eternal bloodstone

[clever cypress]

Because I'm playing checkered deck

[visual turtle]

Oh dear no

that's just attracting the plant

[serene forge]

what the fuck does a sock do for baron lmao

[clever cypress]

Uhhh replay all face cards?

[jade tinsel]

Bro fr the flint and the fish are the worst boss blinds for me I hate them

[serene forge]

yeah that is what sock does, retriggers played faces

so how is that useful for baron at all

[clever cypress]

King is a face card yk?

[acoustic kettle]

[jade tinsel]

But it doesn’t retrigger cards held in hand

That’s what mime does

[clever cypress]

Oh right that's lame as hell

[spice cypress]

wich is better to copy, the photograph or the chad?

[acoustic kettle]

Brunt

[clever cypress]

The burnt

[spice cypress]

ik, but when it come to the actual scoreing

[serene forge]

are you playing the kings when you have baron

[clever cypress]

The burnt

[clever cypress]

Dawg idk I don't play lifeless deck

[spice cypress]

after i used up the burnt, wich one is better

[acoustic kettle]

Phot

[spark kernel]

Chat am i the only one who only gets obselisk in the 1st 3 antes

[serene forge]

[clever cypress]

I'm not real

[cosmic sun]

count your blessings, you may not get it at all

[naive heath]

thats so crazy

[visual turtle]

I think I might die

[crimson hinge]

sinergy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[visual turtle]

Also I'm in debt

[acoustic kettle]

Fire emoji

[visual turtle]

Thanks tooth

[spark kernel]

What is this bs 😭 🙏

[acoustic kettle]

Campfire fuel

[serene forge]

bbc value

[jade tinsel]

Antimatter subscription edition

[spark kernel]

Why is my luck so bad on red deck gold stake

[jade tinsel]

Idk bro my luck in every stake in red deck is being horrible aswell lol

[visual turtle]

Yeah i died again

[spice cypress]

should i buy bloodstone and replace it for one of the burnt jokers? (checkers deck, mainly using hearts)

[serene forge]

no

[white lichen]

folks im garbage what do i do 😭

[patent sail]

I mean its really tuff in theory, but actually may be difficult to use

[spice cypress]

k

[patent sail]

Cant give you advice if i dont know the exact thing youre strugging with

[acoustic kettle]

Be good

[jade tinsel]

What high score balatro videos and watch what somethings they do that you don’t do

And try to learn from that

[distant burrow]

is this normal?

[patent sail]

Watch doc 🗣🗣🗣

[acoustic kettle]

High score video is not really a good way to learn

[visual turtle]

I got ride the bus hooray

[acoustic kettle]

Better to watch doc

[patent sail]

Truth

[visual turtle]

Now I can do my plan

Of turning the face cards into aces

[patent sail]

Doc is the god of balatro tbh

[acoustic kettle]

Doc is john balatro

[distant burrow]

What are the odds of full same card arcane pull?

[serene forge]

yeah

you have blowman

[distant burrow]

Ahhhhh i see

Never seen it proc like that

[serene forge]

that's why blowman is usually bad

it makes your packs worse

[acoustic kettle]

True

[distant burrow]

Got it from tag skip

thought might as well lol

[patent sail]

Whenever i watch him, he just keeps doing plays that make me go "theres no way thats good" and its somehow so good

[distant burrow]

decent pull tho

[slender creek]

full house of tarots

[serene forge]

probably don't take uncommon tags

[patent sail]

Number of tarots to the power of number of cards in the pack btw

1 in that number

[distant burrow]

first few runs on this higher stake, not watched any guides or anything yet probs should

[limber loom]

someone think abt this for me pls

[serene forge]

red card then open packs

[jade tinsel]

Not really but it worked for me, because I tried to analyze their way of strategizing and how it impacted their run

[jade tinsel]

True

[serene forge]

high score strategy is not the same for winning a run

is the thing

[white lichen]

i watched a couple videos from balatro university but hes so beyond me like idek why es making some decisions

im stuck on blue stake on the blue deck

[jade tinsel]

Yeah I know, but idk atleast it worked for me a bit

[serene forge]

he explains all his moves

[jade tinsel]

But I get what you’re saying

[limber loom]

i feel like i should be taking blue seal here

[white lichen]

yuh and i still dont understadn

[acoustic kettle]

Both are good

But blue seal is just a free win

[patent sail]

Stuck on blue stake too, -1 discard doesnt even seem like that huge of a nerf, but its really bad somehow

[white lichen]

its cuz it al compounds

[acoustic kettle]

It is 5 less card you see each round

[patent sail]

I may not even be needing all the discards but i will somehow die to the most random things imaginable i never died to on a lower stake

[weak relic]

Damn why poly on a stinky joker?

[white lichen]

is to the moon a good joker?? its eternal so idk if i want it

[jade tinsel]

I get that sometimes I don’t understand it either, I think in this situation it’s good to pause the video and like verbally try to figure out the reasoning behind a decision of his. Or continue to watch the video and see how that decision of his impacted certain aspects of the run

[patent sail]

Totally didnt lose a winnable run to greeding a negative skip

[acoustic kettle]

Most of his decisions makes sense

So uh

[jade tinsel]

Bro I’m gonna be so fr because I think I hate this joker because for some reason 90% of the runs this joker appears and doesn’t leave me alone💔

[white lichen]

basically i keep losing because i end up not makin enough chips on like, the wall or something

[patent sail]

Wall 🥀

[serene forge]

ttm is good

don't be afraid to take eternals

most jokers aren't bad enough to the point where you lose by taking them eternal

[patent sail]

Lowk doc taught me that eternals arent that scary, yeah

[white lichen]

i just realized, i only have 4 dollars and it costs five 😂

iwas just so caught up in should i take it or not i didnt even realize if i COULD

just lost on ante 1 big blind 😭

[patent sail]

🐈

[urban heath]

💔

[patent sail]

Congratulations!

[cosmic sun]

just gotta take stuff to stay alive sometimes

[visual turtle]

Oh no

I played 2 jacks

:(

[torpid bridge]

I stay dead

[jade tinsel]

Idk it is a bit good but I don’t like it very much

[limber loom]

all my poker hands are lvl 1 so do i go for buffing pairs or maybe two pairs?

[serene forge]

pairs

[white lichen]

yooo just got a holographic joker stencil, epic

[serene forge]

also move your red card

[limber loom]

it was there for to do list value

[serene forge]

true

[visual turtle]

do i HAVE to buy it

the other card is pareidolia but that one seems to be useless every time

[jade void]

HOW RARE IS THIS
Non seeded Round 1 Ante 1 natural negative eternal jimbo

[jade tinsel]

Not really worth it tbh

No real impact on the run

[jade tinsel]

I don’t think it’s really good to buy pareidolia when you have ride the busmcbdkdkchfmkfbfmjfjkk

[visual turtle]

Oh yeah

Oh eternal foil square joker!!!

[patent sail]

Emotional support jimbo

[visual turtle]

Yeah so um

i died

again

[patent sail]

[acoustic kettle]

Skill issue

[patent sail]

I won my first ever run thanks to him, which is probably the dumbest way to get the first win

[grizzled warren]

ofc i get legendary on knife challenge run

[patent sail]

Feed him to the knife

[strange compass]

Do I get scary face?

[visual turtle]

rare tag gave me the tribe 💔

[patent sail]

Also wtf nat negative mystic summit

[patent sail]

Thats the flushes one, right?

[visual turtle]

Yeah

[patent sail]

Its not even that bad i guess

[acoustic kettle]

It is the worst one of the hand xmult

[jade tinsel]

Guys I have a question

[patent sail]

Not terribly powerful, but there are worse options to get this early

[limpid gate]

What is this seed 😭

[jade tinsel]

Is Square Joker actually good or am I just using it wrong?

[white lichen]

yooo throwback is insane, im just gonna skip every blind i can lol

[weak relic]

Who do I murder?

[dusty meteor]

thats my first gold stake win!

[modern marsh]

All hail the Cavendish

[weak relic]

Yes

[spice cypress]

Wee joker is better

[limber loom]

so is this my game pretty much over? in a good way ofc

[visual turtle]

Yay i got ride the bus again1!1!1!!1!

[patent sail]

I think its good gold stake? I never got to gold stake myself, but i see him used a lot

[grizzled warren]

ok we ball

[jade tinsel]

Bro how

[acoustic kettle]

It is good

[dusty meteor]

rip chicot

[jade tinsel]

EXACTLY

[acoustic kettle]

Just play 4 card pairs

[strange compass]

It's fine

[jade tinsel]

It scales so much quicker and better

[strange compass]

Two pair mechant

[spice cypress]

Look at this crazy ass seed man my best play ever

[acoustic kettle]

Of course wee is better it is a rare

[strange compass]

Rarity doesn't dictate joker goodness

[weak relic]

Any suggestions? Do I js kill vampire?

[patent sail]

But wee is rare and requires 2s, youre gonna see square way more often even if wee is undoubtedly far stronger

[visual turtle]

Yeah

[strange compass]

Some people would consider Runner to be better than a Legendary joker

[modern marsh]

Baron sucks by itself and without deck fixing and it’s rare

[acoustic kettle]

True

[modern marsh]

WHO???

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe sucks as well

[strange compass]

Me

Fuck Chicot

[patent sail]

It does to an extent of how often its gonna appear

[acoustic kettle]

I mean runner is a good chips joker

[spice cypress]

You can make it better witj the red fist jokes whos name in forgor

[acoustic kettle]

No

[modern marsh]

Bet

[visual turtle]

What am I supposed to do

[acoustic kettle]

What is the bus

How big is it

[visual turtle]

+4

[spice cypress]

Chicot hate wont be tolerated

[strange compass]

Play A,K,Q

[acoustic kettle]

A K Q

[spice cypress]

Sell that awful joker why th are using that

[patent sail]

Wee? Or square? Wee is already better, but my argument here is that square is gonna appear way more often just due to being lower rarity

[strange compass]

You can take out face cards with Ace if you have them in singles

[visual turtle]

I didn't like the other jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Bus is the best +mult scaler

[visual turtle]

Also I died

[strange compass]

You hate Bus but like Chicot

[acoustic kettle]

Skill issue

[patent sail]

Bottom 5 takes of all time im sorry 😭

[strange compass]

Sad

[visual turtle]

because there was no other way to get a 2 pair that doesn't have face cards

[acoustic kettle]

Hc A K Q

[strange compass]

@spice cypress

Check this out

[visual turtle]

I got two 3s

[acoustic kettle]

What

[strange compass]

@visual turtle Bus works well with big hand size

[spice cypress]

There are not many good 4 card hands, besides two pair and 4 of a kind, and theres no efficient way to make square joker scaler much more

[acoustic kettle]

4 card pair

4 card hc

[patent sail]

Lowk the bus challenge is so good, it actually taught me that the bus is good

[acoustic kettle]

[spice cypress]

Damn nice play. I dont like the bus, i always have trouble using it

[grizzled warren]

i think riff raff wants me to play flush guys

[visual turtle]

There's no hope once again

[spice cypress]

Chicot has no counters

[patent sail]

You can just do pairs and 2 random cards? Pairs are awesome in gold stake

[strange compass]

It works really well with Burglar cuz then you have a bigger hand size and can pick out all the face cards easily and use number cards

[acoustic kettle]

It.is salvageable

[visual turtle]

I don't think I can live off of diamonds

[jade tinsel]

How so? Idk for me it just takes too long to scale in a way that actually benefits the run but maybe it’s just something with me

[spice cypress]

You right

[patent sail]

Like i won it only when i actually used the bus, i tried ignoring it first

[spice cypress]

Its fenomenal with ab deck

[strange compass]

Diamond has the weakest special joker

[acoustic kettle]

Bus is just a green joker without downsides

[acoustic kettle]

Hearts

It is hearts

[spice cypress]

The humble joker pack when i try to play smth that is NOT flush

[strange compass]

Heartsone in optimal build is great

[cosmic sun]

People play pairs on gold stake which means more hands to spam + easier to play four cards

[white lichen]

bruhhhh i had the most broken setup and still lost bc all mmy face cards got debuffed

[strange compass]

If you play diamonds you're not gonna score

[acoustic kettle]

Rough gem is good

It is econ

[strange compass]

The other suits are better cuz they have scoring jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Econ is never bad

[cosmic sun]

Rough Gem gives money which is already more tangible than Bloodstone

[strange compass]

Flush struggles to score

[patent sail]

Honestly youre better off asking someone who actually plays gold stake, i would never tell you why, but what i do know that any scaling joker is pretty good if you know how to use it

[acoustic kettle]

5 dollars

[acoustic kettle]

Pair spam

[spice cypress]

I think my pc discord and my phone discord are delayed

[strange compass]

For a fully flush build it doesn't work

[cosmic sun]

And it's not even exclusive to flush tbh

[acoustic kettle]

You never build flush

[cosmic sun]

As is a few other of the suit jokers

[spice cypress]

.

[cosmic sun]

Lol

[weak relic]

Bro I'm hunting for gold stickers

[visual turtle]

I mean I could but

[acoustic kettle]

It is not a consistent strat

[visual turtle]

I kinda want 2 aces

[cosmic sun]

Arrowhead pairs

[strange compass]

That's a you thing

[visual turtle]

though

[strange compass]

Lel

[cosmic sun]

Gold stake thing

[visual turtle]

Ok i got the aces

[cosmic sun]

[weak relic]

Sad to say im gonna pass on a soul card

[strange compass]

You can play other suits

[acoustic kettle]

You'd never get anywhere with flush on gold stake

[weak relic]

[terse vale]

basically true

[cosmic sun]

incoming "I play the game for fun so all your arguments are invalid"

[strange compass]

Sure but I am talking about flush decks in all points of the game

In lower stakes flush is easy and fun

[terse vale]

ohh boy lmao

[cosmic sun]

wrong ping

[weak relic]

I jus wanna put a gold stiker on hack

I never used that joker

[visual turtle]

Ooh another shot

[acoustic kettle]

Black board

[weak relic]

Plus it gives x1.5

[cosmic sun]

hoenestly it's funny to pass on soul

[strange compass]

Don't pick it

[visual turtle]

It's too late

[strange compass]

Actually pick it and sell it

[weak relic]

I already have all of em on gold

[acoustic kettle]

[weak relic]

[cosmic sun]

"my steak too juicy"

[visual turtle]

Oh popcorn died

[terse vale]

? why

[strange compass]

Flush is tough in blue stakes and above @visual turtle

[acoustic kettle]

BB is great

[weak relic]

This game is cruel

[cosmic sun]

bro thinks he's playing flush

[acoustic kettle]

Yeah so?

[cosmic sun]

💀

[visual turtle]

Yeah im not doing that

[strange compass]

Blue stakes is where the difficulty amos up

[terse vale]

one of the best Xmults in the game you caaaant pass on that

[visual turtle]

Ummmmmm I don't see +mult

[acoustic kettle]

You have egg

[visual turtle]

Oh that's 17$

[weak relic]

Im gonna use cryptid on a blue seal card

Im sorry...

[terse vale]

fair

[strange compass]

Oh I did not see your other cards

[visual turtle]

And watch I don't get anything

[cosmic sun]

bros gonna find a single empress or something

[visual turtle]

I was right

[acoustic kettle]

Why are you so poor in yello

[terse vale]

I believe in half joker

[visual turtle]

ummmmm
could i get scaling

• mult

[terse vale]

well its something!

[cosmic sun]

ppl blow their load early

[visual turtle]

eternal

so uh

[acoustic kettle]

Just take it

[cosmic sun]

pause

[visual turtle]

So many things to buy

[acoustic kettle]

Can't buy anything if you're dead

[visual turtle]

okay 0_0

[acoustic kettle]

I mean

Are you close to dying

[strange compass]

It syncs with your square joker

[fervent plover]

guys need a help here

[strange compass]

You can take it if you need

[visual turtle]

Idk
As long as I can get 2 pairs

And have my hand only have spades/clubs

[acoustic kettle]

You might just take grabber if you're not far from making it

[terse vale]

what ante is it

[visual turtle]

3 round 7

[jade tinsel]

Nah bro do NOT disrespect the goat like that

[terse vale]

I mean no matter what u take grabber tbf

[acoustic kettle]

Well i mean

[visual turtle]

It's now 3 round 8

[strange compass]

@visual turtle did you take grabber? It's good if you can afford it especially for two pair

[fervent plover]

what do i pick? like replace with.

[visual turtle]

No

[strange compass]

You need all the hands to build up

[visual turtle]

I can save for it

[terse vale]

I think with like 1 blackboard trigger and like 4 - 3 two pairs you win?

[strange compass]

I c

[vague aurora]

well...

[rich mauve]

chicot slander spotted

[fervent plover]

man, fk my net

[acoustic kettle]

Can we please post full screen whrn asking for tips

[rich mauve]

starting termination

[jade tinsel]

I actually really like runner but I think his biggest downside is that it’s hard to build around straights in general lol

[terse vale]

YES

[acoustic kettle]

Runner is a pair joker

[terse vale]

PLEASE

[jade tinsel]

Wdym

[fervent plover]

should i take the ace joker?

[acoustic kettle]

It just is

[visual turtle]

I got grabber

[acoustic kettle]

Works best on pairs

[jade tinsel]

But why

[jade tinsel]

How so?

[terse vale]

ya so u can’t
just play straights here and there and use it as your main chips source for hands that don’t get tooo many chips from planets

[acoustic kettle]

Because anything scaling is pair's toy

[strange compass]

You still need straights to build it up

You can pivot afterwards

[visual turtle]

Oh my it went extinct

[strange compass]

It's good if you find it early

[limber loom]

[visual turtle]

Oh look it's ride the bus

[acoustic kettle]

The greed

[acoustic kettle]

Take it

Especially with a grabber

And square

[limber loom]

+72 mult each card

[weak relic]

Real

[visual turtle]

I don't think I can NOT play face cards AND also have both spades and clubs

that seems like, a lot

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[limber loom]

get real

[serene forge]

thats not a lot at all

[spice cypress]

hey guys i need help, i can only see reply messeges idk how to enable the other messeges

[serene forge]

much more simple than you think

you can play the face cards

just dont score them

[limber loom]

[serene forge]

and you don't have to score your non spades or non clubs

[visual turtle]

Okay and if I have to?

[jade tinsel]

True I also do the same thing, it’s just that I never feel that I really use him to his fullest potential y’know?

[weak relic]

I had rtb and grimbo run before, its not that bad

Both eternal and I still won

[patent sail]

His greed is sickening

[acoustic kettle]

A dream run

Honestly

[visual turtle]

Okay then

[patent sail]

I mean those 2 are a bit easier to use together, pairs are easy to draw and you can lowk just play some bs and still get the scaling

[visual turtle]

Um

[fervent plover]

YESSS!!!!! FINALLY CLEARED GREEN STAKE ON ABANDONED DECK!!!

[jade tinsel]

Got this high score unseeded and I was pretty proud of myself lol

[serene forge]

ace queen jack diamond 10 heart 3

[quick cloak]

damn crazy work

[visual turtle]

Why this

[quick cloak]

is dna that good?

[visual turtle]

What if i can't get another pair

[serene forge]

so you mulligan your red cards

[quick cloak]

i never use it idk

[fervent plover]

Its goated

[patent sail]

Situational

[fervent plover]

really good in early game to get a good deck

[visual turtle]

I'll

try

[serene forge]

its not hard to draw them

and you have 5 hands

[quick cloak]

where do u get mult from w these jokers tho idk ehat the last 2 r tho,

im pretty new to this game

[fervent plover]

i thght it was shit, until i used it. mid game also its best

cause u know what deck to build towards

[quick cloak]

what do u tend to dupe w it? steels?

[jade tinsel]

I think it works best when you have bp or bs to increase it’s value but even withou that it’s pretty good

[patent sail]

It hurts to use sometimes because it does give you more good cards, but doesnothing about bad ones

[fervent plover]

depends. steels are good. but those with red stickers are the best.

[quick cloak]

i see

[jade tinsel]

Thank you🫶

[visual turtle]

So um

[quick cloak]

fairs

[visual turtle]

I might have played 2 kings

[fervent plover]

good for 5 of a kind with red stickers

i did it once, pure ASMR

never got tht one since then

🙁

[quick cloak]

ah i get u

i hit a billion first time the ither day i felt dopamine rushing to my head

🤣🤣🤣

[fervent plover]

hehe

[visual turtle]

[limber loom]

[fervent plover]

[patent sail]

Classic canio moment

[quick cloak]

i felt miserable

🤣🤣🤣

[spice cypress]

[serene forge]

can i ask why did we open an arcana pack with 6 dollars

[fervent plover]

lets see how far this will shoot

[patent sail]

Funny

Gamblepilled tarotmaxxing

[spice cypress]

I smell the dopamine rush

[quick cloak]

because uh... spin that wheel

[fervent plover]

687K

[fervent plover]

not much tbh

[jade tinsel]

In my opinion Canion is one of the best legendaries

[spice cypress]

Did number go brrr?

[quick cloak]

i didnt even know legensdird existed until j saw a soul card

😭

[keen pilot]

Ah yes, just what I needed in this situation

[patent sail]

He eats all card destroying methods as soon as he spawns

[quick cloak]

holy shit

[fervent plover]

the ace had to go with a blue one 🙁

[spice cypress]

Yoric better imo

[fervent plover]

went brr, little slowly. cause its slowtrigger jocker set

[quick cloak]

how did u end up with this deck

😭😭😭

[patent sail]

Deckfixing

[fervent plover]

maybe if i had the speedup mod, it might be {{FoX}}

[quick cloak]

yh im too new idk what that means

[fervent plover]

HOLY SHIT!!

[quick cloak]

so many red seals and face cards

[jade tinsel]

I actually don’t really agree because for me it’s way easier to scale Canio then Yorick

[patent sail]

Fixing the deck

[spice cypress]

Aww

[fervent plover]

means getting a proper deck. built for ur current run

[patent sail]

Who up fixing they deck

[quick cloak]

how u get so many seals

[strange compass]

They are trying to naneinf

[cold flower]

Seed?

[fervent plover]

u play with billions, how do u still not know deck fixing {{FoX}}

[quick cloak]

bro i started last week

[patent sail]

Death or cryptid or dna

[quick cloak]

oh now i see why dna is useful

[keen pilot]

First you remove the cards you don't need, then you make copies of the card you do need

[fervent plover]

how did u start playing with billions when u just started last week? i started like 2-3 months ago and still just passed green deck

{{FoX}}

[spice cypress]

I higly desagree, for yorick you just need to discard, for canio you need to destroy faces, which is not only harder, but limited, yoric would synergise with anything

[quick cloak]

idk

[strange compass]

Those 3 mime cards retrigger all the red seal cards which syncs with Barron's ability of giving x mult per king in hand, the mimes and red seals and steel cards all are made to get as much x mult as possible.

[quick cloak]

i js did it randomly

[patent sail]

DNA is the best only when you can get rid of garbage in the deck, you dont want it to randomly resurface when youre trying to draw all the good stuff

[keen pilot]

That's called deck fixing: optimising your deck so that you always see the cards you need

[visual turtle]

I got
Red card

[spice cypress]

Look at this magestic play i did last night

[cold flower]

I mean he coulfve just gotten a crazy run by luck

[quick cloak]

yh i get how it works i js dk how u can get so much steels and seals, ive mever gotten more than like 5 lol

[visual turtle]

And I skipped like 3 times for once

[quick cloak]

im not good tho so yk

[strange compass]

Yorick is way easier tho especially if you have a big hand size

[fervent plover]

damn. my luck hates me in this game then.

[keen pilot]

This might seem good, but I'm struggling very hard at this point in the run, and this soul card is not helping me in any way..

[latent egret]

requires luck

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[jade tinsel]

Well I like to turn a lot of cards into face cards using strenght or death so I can destroy it later and leave my actually useful face cards intact

[latent egret]

and money to open packs

while yorick is the freeest win

[spice cypress]

Thats what im saying

[patent sail]

You need tools to destroy stuff for canio which may not appear, but yorick is as simple as discarding stuff which is something you can do almost anytime

[strange compass]

You have to use "Cryptid" spectre cards and "death" tarot cards to convert other cards into the same red seal steel kings, and then you destroy the other cards you can't convert with "death" tarot card.

[spice cypress]

True, unless you’re playing with bulger

[visual turtle]

What if you don't get any of those

[patent sail]

Did you mean to destroy with hanged man

[terse vale]

yeah yorick is usually better than canio

[visual turtle]

Or not enough

[terse vale]

due to the consistency

but canio is still goated

[patent sail]

You dont destroy with death

[terse vale]

if you get canio on a face run it genuinely wouldn’t hurt to destroy a few faces thats how good it is

[quick cloak]

death doesnt kill you, w

[terse vale]

just one hanged man and you’re good

[patent sail]

Honestly if youre running burglar with yorick, what are you even doing

[visual turtle]

How am I still living

[quick cloak]

i that the one u have to discard 23 cards

[strange compass]

Exactly I just had a Canio run today and only managed to get it at 5x while I got Yorick at 10x yesterday

[visual turtle]

There is no xMult 💔

[jade tinsel]

True I agree, I just find the scaling to be better with Canio but I get what you’re saying

[urban heath]

My balatro crashes every time I try play a hand

😭

[spice cypress]

If you are running yoric with bulgar, its a free voucher!

[fervent plover]

damn, just got saved from the pillar

[weak relic]

$10

[keen pilot]

In one very recent run I got both Yorick and Canio. In the end I sold Canio cuz it stayed at x1 for several antes, while I ended up hex+ankh-ing Yorick and got him to over x50

[spice cypress]

Wow you must have a really high scaling then!!

[jade tinsel]

True I REALLY like Canio but also I really like Yorick aswell, both of them are really goated to me

[urban heath]

I'm on ante 6

[patent sail]

New challenge! Win without playing any hands

[spice cypress]

10$=voucher

[urban heath]

😭

[visual turtle]

Do I get even steven?

[strange compass]

Canio needs its own specific strat while Yorick needs a bigger hand size which syncs with alot of other things

[keen pilot]

Later I also ran into Triboulet

[spice cypress]

Its good in early

[visual turtle]

It's eternal

[keen pilot]

In the same run

[spice cypress]

No

[strange compass]

Also I swear glass cards just don't break when you get Canio lol

[patent sail]

Omg literally me, i dont think i got to scale him a single time i got him

[spice cypress]

There are better options

[fervent plover]

well.... fun while it lasted

[patent sail]

He eats all hanged men as well 🥀

[fervent plover]

damn, did not notice i did a run without a pair

[jade tinsel]

Yes exactly and even more so if you make a lot of useless face cards with strenght or death so you can destroy it and scale Canio while not actually affecting your scoring hand and also thinning your deck in the process

[strange compass]

Dont get hanged man either

I only got like 1

[spice cypress]

Holy mama over 50? I think my max was 7-8

[patent sail]

Truthhhh ugh

[strange compass]

And the other stacks came from glass cards breaking

[fervent plover]

how is painted deck from y'alls experience?

time for one more achievement. god, bless me in the black stake

[patent sail]

I know canio is good but i just hate him due to his scaling kinda depending on rng and my rng is horrible

[spice cypress]

I had one of the best straight runs in my life

[fervent plover]

is it tht good?

[weak relic]

Shit

[visual turtle]

It's all planets

[spice cypress]

God bless you in purple bro

[strange compass]

^ Getting death isn't consistent enough

[visual turtle]

what do I even do

[fervent plover]

wow, bro said shit with two canios in hand 😄

[weak relic]

-1 joker slot
-1 freedom

[keen pilot]

Here, these are the screenshots from the run
It's still unbelievably hilarious that I got 3 legendaries in the same run lol

[weak relic]

Shit

[patent sail]

Did you mean hanged man 😭

[spice cypress]

Its a strong deck, not the best one for sure but is good

[strange compass]

Yes

[keen pilot]

Final stats and seed

[strange compass]

I got it confused

[patent sail]

Death is the copying one

[spice cypress]

Oh my

[fervent plover]

why not in black? i mean ill need in purple. god knows when ill complete the game. so many more stakes

[atomic trout]

Damn Water! Chill out!

[spice cypress]

What did black do again? No money on small blinds?

[patent sail]

I mean i can see why, you would think a card literally named "Death" would kill cards

[strange compass]

Sold my Luchador even tho I didn't need to 💔

[atomic trout]

That and Eternal Jokers

[fervent plover]

indestructable/non-sellable jokers

[patent sail]

Madness becomes tuff on black stake 💗

[fervent plover]

was the 2nd word correct? feels wrong.

[atomic trout]

No Small Blind rewards, higher scale Stakes, Eternal Jokers are available

[fervent plover]

fr

[spice cypress]

Aint that bad then, you should avoid mid eternal jokers

[fervent plover]

im just waiting to get tht

[patent sail]

Won my black stake with madness

[fervent plover]

yea. hopefully luck blesses me.

[atomic trout]

That's madness!

[patent sail]

[spice cypress]

Its all about luck and GAMBLE

[fervent plover]

have some assignments to write, will do two runs and then get going.

There is no hope again 💔

[fervent plover]

wait wait

im confused

[spice cypress]

Mr bones my goated wife

[fervent plover]

i just bought a joker

panicked and sold it

how?

[visual turtle]

I need xMult
not
+Mult
again

[heady narwhal]

$1 in ante 4 on yellow deck?

[fervent plover]

like i thght i cant selll

[gloomy lichen]

hey yall, i’ve got a question im throwing out to the public. i sometimes see streamers or youtubers with text on the “play hand” or “use” buttons that say things like “ship it” or “hang em” as the actual text. im wondering if this is some sort of mod or a customization feature in game?

[keen pilot]

FINALLY GOT ECTO
unfortunately, pretty sure it kills me here..

[visual turtle]

There's so much to buy
and also red card

[spice cypress]

Trader mentality

[patent sail]

Custom language pack by doc

[heady narwhal]

how is there so much to buy when you only have two jokers

[ebon mantle]

Chat I need help with finding jokers for plasma

[fervent plover]

use and play hand exists. i never saw ship it.

[visual turtle]

Planet cards because I only have two jokers

[gloomy lichen]

tyyyyy, do you know where one could find it perhaps?

[fervent plover]

no i mean how did it sell?

[heady narwhal]

seems like you shouldn't be spending so much money

[visual turtle]

I rerolled the shop

[patent sail]

Thats a mod made by docs community 💗

[visual turtle]

and there was

More planet cards

[heady narwhal]

why

[spice cypress]

The great depresion looked better than that run for sure

[patent sail]

I honestly dont know, try searching online?

[visual turtle]

To see if I'd get something

[heady narwhal]

you can't afford to reroll here though

[spice cypress]

Wich joker it was

[crimson hinge]

would blueprint here be better on the idol, photo, or chad?

[fervent plover]

@spice cypress do uk how the sell worked?

[fervent plover]

forgot the name. but the one where u select blind and it gives a tarrot

[heady narwhal]

as long as you stay above interest, red card alone makes you pretty secure for quite a while

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[visual turtle]

I don't think there's any hope for this seed

[keen pilot]

Unless I find.. Exactly DNA. That's the easiest hit. The harder one would be to find a showman and then another scoring joker copy.. With $81..

Guess I die!

[heady narwhal]

what's the seed

[visual turtle]

Idk haven't lost yet

[serene forge]

red card scaling > planets

[spice cypress]

Take a pick of your current joke hand, maybe you just missclicked

[fervent plover]

if u dont have a good 1st card, put next to face card. if u have a good one, put next to the retrigeer

[serene forge]

what is red card at

[visual turtle]

+15

[fervent plover]

also the hand and its mult power through plants matter too

i told i sold it
