[dark cairn]

on checkered deck it doesn't take much effort to be able to spam them just as much as pairs or even high card

all you need is four fingers or +1 hand size

if you can spam them that often theres basically no reason not to

2 mult per level is pretty nice

[fringe crest]

checkered used to be my favorite but ive hated maining runs on flusg

exept for ancient

aj runs are so fun

[dark cairn]

can do more scoring card enhancement shenanigans

[potent tree]

i prefer shortcut over four fingers but agreed

[vestal copper]

aj runs are not flushes

aj runs are flush fives

[potent tree]

i cleared golden needle only after finding aj

[foggy sun]

shortcut is actually the best joker ever

because it lets u use the straights insane planet scaling so easy

its basically free

[potent tree]

isn't it Even Steven?

[fringe crest]

they can be both

[potent tree]

sorry your name

[vestal copper]

shortcut runner

[fringe crest]

sometimes you dont get lucky with tarots and cant deck fix fast enough

[potent tree]

for some reason i see runner a lot in ghost deck runs

like every other run it's either shop 1 direct or buffoon pack

[fringe crest]

having the equivelent of a stuntman late game without hand size and not needing to play straights to get the chips is amazing

[potent tree]

wee is a better option than runner tho

[fringe crest]

also really good for pivoting into obelisk

[potent tree]

wee is best chip joker

[fringe crest]

would be if it wasnt a rare joker

[potent tree]

no it's still clearly best. unless you somehow have extremely beefy hologram. then maybe blimbo works

(as grimbo, so blimbo)

most i've gotten a runner prior to ante 8 boss is 500 ish chips

[fringe crest]

i dont get wee that often and whenever i do its too late to even use

[potent tree]

wee i've hit 1.5k by ante 8

[fringe crest]

you dont need 1.5k though

also

whats your pb on wee

[potent tree]

uhh 2700 i think

and that was at ante 11 or so

i know people get 10k

[fringe crest]

ive gotten 6808

[potent tree]

yea i can't hyper optimize

[fringe crest]

i only do it when the game is obviously telling me to do it

i also got a cloud nine to 145

[hollow atlas]

man

[fringe crest]

could have gone higher but i sold

[fringe crest]

is this a leak

ok im gonna sleep

[potent tree]

stunt: -2 handsize

no positive effect.

[tacit stream]

man: +250 chips

[cursive crater]

man:handsize

[potent tree]

my hands are very small.

[foggy sun]

Pretty fun run. Survived to about ante 16. If I knew about the perkeo observatory, probably would have went high card instead

[potent tree]

yeah naneinf has only been achieved with high cards i think

[foggy sun]

I wasnt going for naneinf, it was just seeing how far I could go without knowing anything. I had a eternal grimbo just chilling that entire time

[potent tree]

due to ungodly amounts of baron and mime triggers

[foggy sun]

mmhm, didnt see no mime or baron either so

and it was abandoned, luckily found like a red seal queen early on and had it as a gold card. but still a fun run

I was ready

if it showed up

[potent tree]

for some reason everyone here seems to like using high cards when building obelisk

i use pairs to build instead

[foggy sun]

Its so much better, cause U cant just accidentally HAVE to play a pair

[potent tree]

the chance of not drawing into a pair is miniscule

it's happened to me maybe once or twice a day at worst

[foggy sun]

if u use high card, what if u just dont draw a pair

[weak relic]

Blewman

[foggy sun]

then bye bye ob*lisk value

[potent tree]

i hope my earlier ping didn't disturb you

[proper pollen]

waow what a shop

nat neg bus

and brainstorm

ok I didnt get immolate so I can only buy 1

[deft sandal]

W, 4 new gold stickers

[potent tree]

judgment in arcana pack gives credit card trust

[deft sandal]

matador, showman, even steven, cartomancer

[potent tree]

showman was i think my second to last gold sticker on my first savefile

[fringe crest]

so thats why episode 67 was bad

[vestal copper]

67

[deft sandal]

even steven was hard carrying the first 6 antes until I found yorick

just spamming flushes and getting Planets from my blue sealed gold king

[fringe crest]

+20 mult and a 1.5x is hard carry until ante 6?

[fringe nebula]

the lobotomy strikes again

[fringe crest]

sloppppp

what is c#

[deft sandal]

yea that just 30 mult

[fringe nebula]

c++ twice

[fringe crest]

no because base mult

[deft sandal]

Ahh right

[fringe crest]

i thought people just put the power 2

[deft sandal]

but Im not exactly finding all the even cards to play the flushes

[fringe crest]

²

[eager summit]

anaglyph is so fun

[fringe nebula]

some do c++2 some do c#

[deft sandal]

my deck was looking like this

[fringe crest]

how

what

genuinly why is everyone but me so lucky

[deft sandal]

that polychrome 2 was from ante 7

[vestal copper]

ive been getting shit runs all yesterday then picked up seance it generated one dejavu and this dejavu won me the entire game cuz i got aj

and 484858 deaths

[fringe crest]

is using ecto on dna in a classic naneinf run worth it?

it makes up the hand size

theres nothing wrong with overloading your deck as long as you conv to steel ig

[fringe crest]

i didnt look at the ante

genuinly

what the fuck

[proper pollen]

it didnt and it didnt have temperance and due to my foolish decisions I didnt get either so I restarted the run in rage

new run very good

[potent tree]

yes.

tbh i'm starting to appreciate 4oaks a lot

[grizzled robin]

happens to the best of us , but in some cases to the worst of us so Np.

[eager summit]

got bad discards at the worst possible boss blind

[eternal pumice]

[fringe nebula]

i think zodiac deck might be goated???

[eternal pumice]

THERES A BURNANa SPIN???:0

cant use it tough im broke

[proper pollen]

Do I drop a dusk for the 4oak 4x?

trading cards means I can eventually manufacture a 4oak deck

[fringe nebula]

is steven your only source of mult lol

[potent mirage]

Only two runner

[proper pollen]

we are jolly good!!

[proper pollen]

yeah but 12 steven triggers with some xmult is a good situation

[proper pollen]

didnt draw 4th 2

[manic talon]

its greed sickens me

[patent sail]

His desire for more was his downfall

[storm portal]

Is ectoplasm worth it

[patent sail]

-2?

If -1 maybe i think idk

-2 probably just no

[storm portal]

No my first one

[echo charm]

Trying for a nanenf run. Should I move a blueprint to the mime or leave both on baron?

[stone shell]

ecto definitely worth it

[patent sail]

How much dows it hurt the score

[storm portal]

I got pallete also

[stone shell]

blueprints on baron, brainstorm on mime

[echo charm]

Aight I'll try that

[stone shell]

assuming you have red seal steel kings already

[knotty zodiac]

looks like this run is going to the moon

[vestal copper]

here win

[knotty zodiac]

ill mess it up since i never play retriggers lol

[echo charm]

Yea im good on those

[devout quest]

generational run icl

[vestal copper]

here win 2

[shell dagger]

you need to find a cryptid asap

[weak relic]

Dont let it hit dna

[storm portal]

I got it on baron and it was so worth it

[weak relic]

Great job

[storm portal]

I found showman a few rerolls in and got another brainstorm

[weak relic]

Now find another copy joker

Great

Keep farming money then

[storm portal]

I now need to find retcon

[echo charm]

It never showed up

[rapid sedge]

is he really worth it

[mortal nimbus]

always

[dark cairn]

send this to everyone who hates bloodstone (it will not prove any of their claims wrong)
https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/mdNHsBjaZbLfgJxg6?invite=cr-MSw1UHEsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

[weak relic]

Ofc they're gonna use dice

[dark cairn]

yes

[weak relic]

[dark cairn]

now the only 2 gold stickers im missing are the tribe and perkeo

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAH, bloodstone did bail me out, my ass was not winning this run otherwise with a bum ass hologram

yea man, why not show up now

[weak relic]

Campfire and holo carried

[vestal copper]

campfire more like free win

[dire crater]

Why so +4 mult

[eternal pumice]

[dire crater]

we should change chicot description for

"Sell this for 10 dollars"

[mortal nimbus]

if you want to be reductive, sure

[dire crater]

only good for temperance

[heady narwhal]

we should change triboulet description for

"Sell this for 10 dollars"

[mortal nimbus]

there is a difference between boring and bad

[dire crater]

we should change perkeo description for "youll never gonna find me hua ha ha"

"Also, sell me to get 10 dollars"

[fringe nebula]

i disagree

change chicot's description to "hold this joker if you don't want to die to needle, eye, and vessel"

[weak relic]

Or a food for my madness

He is hungry

[proper pollen]

I didnt know that soul procced in spectral packs!!

ouhuohuohuh yay

[mortal nimbus]

me when the spectral appears in a spectral pack

[proper pollen]

idk Ive only ever seen it in the astral packs

[manic talon]

its the 1.25X hologram for sure

[weak relic]

Wtf

[proper pollen]

chigoat is a free win

[weak relic]

Hell yeah I love $10 sell value from my soul card

[proper pollen]

because think about it you cant lose your run to plant or needle or anything

[fringe crest]

dude that hologram is like a shops worth

[proper pollen]

dont want to go polluting the deck though

[manic talon]

it practically is a shop's worth

[fringe crest]

im talking about some dude who thought throwback was the best thing ever

also

throwback needs a buff

[proper pollen]

throwback is crazy good though because you can skip blinds and not worry about losing to them and still get free xmult

its better than triboulet

[edgy stone]

Or Immolate for 20$

[fringe crest]

you can skip them and move onto a harder one!

[fringe nebula]

is this real

am i hallucinating

[fringe crest]

i think hes joking

if hes not

oh boy

[edgy stone]

My first gold stake win with ThrowBack Carrying, this Joker is the best for me whatever

[delicate tide]

Vouch

You guys just don’t get it

[torpid bridge]

I won painted deck with throwback

[manic talon]

Throwback is good if you can somehow have 2 of em

but thats every scaling Xmult

[hollow atlas]

well, fellas, it was a beautiful run

[manic talon]

needed more 8 ball

[hollow atlas]

I should have gone for 8 ball

that and also all 6

see how many tarots I can get

dawg I think I had over 50 8s

[thorny cipher]

So closed :v

[proper pollen]

awesome !!!! Such Value!!!!!!

[fringe nebula]

oh man it's been so long since i've seen balatro with screenshake

at this point, i feel like i'm learning more by dying instead of winning

[proper pollen]

81 dollar joker

[fringe nebula]

please get obelisk

obelisk

[proper pollen]

obelisk would lowkey be Not good right her

I only have like 20 high cards played

[fringe nebula]

ONLY 20?????

[fringe nebula]

i made obelisk work with 8 pairs played once

[last cradle]

well, every player and game is different

[last cradle]

the more i look at the gif, the more i feel like i should have lowered the postion of the text

[manic zealot]

I was literally in the process of posting my recent win lmao

the game gave me like 33 clubs this run, so I easily pivoted into flushes

[last cradle]

did you buy the telescope?

[manic zealot]

I'm not continuing the run

I beat ante 8

[last cradle]

ok

don't feel like it would scale?

for inf

[manic zealot]

no it would die by ante 11 or maybe even earlier

[last cradle]

well, you will never know unless you play

😉

[manic zealot]

It'll definitely die by ante 11 at best tho

other similar runs have

[last cradle]

maybe this is different

just teasing you

[manic zealot]

maybe I'll suddenly get +10 levels in high card and a baron + mime

ik nw

[fringe nebula]

or you already know the limit the game

[last cradle]

it's like in runescape, people say for drops which have set amount % to drop, they ignore that and say it is a 50/50.
either it drops or it doesn't

[manic zealot]

hmmm

[last cradle]

50% of a outcome, but they joke that it is 50% for the item

[fringe nebula]

do you have something to carry your earlygame

if not, pants

[proper pollen]

3rd ecto??? yes please!

[last cradle]

true

[manic zealot]

I picked up the pants and lost lmao

[last cradle]

scaling is important

[manic zealot]

my mistake there, I misplayed bigtime. pants were still the right call

[proper pollen]

pants is probably worth there yeah

[waxen fable]

https://youtu.be/aYvqVW9q-LI?si=6-HNNUMGPjurZJ3O

[exotic orchid]

Man, I can't for my life get icecream to gold sticker. 😭

Only gold sticker left

[rough edge]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get this 30 of any suit 😅

[waxen fable]

oh shitt thats actually one of the more annoying ones

[fringe nebula]

just roll for it at ante 7 or 8

[fringe nebula]

not really, that's 20 hands

until the ice cream gone

[exotic orchid]

Ye might have to change my approach. Hoard money at start and start rerolling near the end.

[white flame]

Good morning guys

[unreal topaz]

idk if im gonna win this one

gonna be close

[white flame]

Good luck with that

[exotic orchid]

I always try to keep emergency deaths, or glass tarot for final blinds.

[unreal topaz]

coulda scored billions if i drew another steel card :/

ah well

[heady minnow]

I discard too much I feel like I'm not playing right

[unreal topaz]

you should be using all your discards

[heady minnow]

I use it to get like one flush though

[unreal topaz]

later on they have a chance of giving you money

[unreal topaz]

or blue seal value

[unreal topaz]

it's a good habit

[proper pollen]

GARGANTUAN throwback value

[heady minnow]

really? I felt that it was harmful to my games when I had no luck getting flushes

[unreal topaz]

it's a good habit in general to dig as far through your deck as possible

once you start finding cards with enhancements, seals, or editions

[proper pollen]

generally flush can be expected to be found on two discards, sometimes it takes 3 and sometimes 1

its not even based on skill just luck how many discards you need

[heady minnow]

I do it way before the fact though

[unreal topaz]

i mean i would say the first couple rounds def have skill aspects

[vague elbow]

gold stake green deck done after way too many attempts. wee at +456 green at +69 and holo at x2.5

[heady minnow]

like on my first hand of the run I'll discard for a flush

[unreal topaz]

getting a better chance of getting out in fewer hands

still chance based but you can improve your chances with correct play

[vague elbow]

acrobat was there for emotional support <3 (really it was just insurance for before i grew the holo)

[vague elbow]

that is the like, most common strategy.

it's basically the best one

[unreal topaz]

if you want a specific flush of one suit with smth like ancient joker then its luck based how many discards it takes

[vague elbow]

first round, play a flush. you can win in one flush and one pair most of the time, and it's not that hard to get a flush that wins in one - it just needs to score at least 40 card chips.

[knotty zodiac]

that was fun and different!

[heady minnow]

I lose my runs cause I don't have any luck getting the right suits a lot though

[vague elbow]

on the first hand of the first round?

[unreal topaz]

i'd say there's still skill in terms of whether you get out in 1 or 2 hands

[heady minnow]

no

[vague elbow]

getting out in one or two hands is often luck, tbh. sometimes you just dont draw

but its like, fine to get out in 2. sometimes you gotta

[unreal topaz]

maybe try to find something that enables a hand that isn't flushes long term

[heady minnow]

which are good ones? cause all I really try is flushes

[unreal topaz]

yeah, it's chance but some discards give a better chance than others

[vague elbow]

im assuming youre getting the sinful jokers - they work ok with flushes but theyre kind of just good aux mult for before you get a good scaler or something

[unreal topaz]

pairs are very consistent if you can find jokers that give you mult and chips no matter what hand you play, instead of playing 1-2 flushes per round you can consistently play 4 pairs per round

[vague elbow]

flushes of a certain suit arent too bad to get - theres 13 cards of each suit in your deck, versus say digging for a specific rank - but theyre definitely not good long term.

trying to play more than one flush of a specific suit is not a good idea

[unreal topaz]

in addition it's easier to find or hold onto valuable cards when you play pairs

[vague elbow]

you literally cannot play more than 2 flushes of a specific suit with a starter deck (outside of erratic)

[wanton oracle]

Depends on the jokers you get but the big three is pairs (90% of the time), straight and either 5oak/flush five or high card

[heady minnow]

what is a sinful joker?

[vague elbow]

lusty, wrathful, greedy, gluttonous

[unreal topaz]

you need tarot cards to do that generally

[vague elbow]

the ones that give you mult for suits

[proper pollen]

yea Im just saying it doesnt make you bad at the game to have to use a few discards to draw a flush

[unreal topaz]

you can lean into flushes but it's mostly tarots that help them

[unreal topaz]

ofc

[heady minnow]

I get those only when I'm falling on REALLY hard times and need something to pick my run up

[vague elbow]

theyre really good early

if you see one in shop one i would just pick it up

theyll let you cruise and make interest

[proper pollen]

RIP run you did good

[unreal topaz]

i can send a vid that shows a different type of build to flushes if you want

[proper pollen]

ante 13 is where they all drop for me

[heady minnow]

btw @vague elbow I like your pfp a lot

[vague elbow]

thank you! my girlfriend drew it for me, it's based on flavor foley's "spoken for" :)

[vague elbow]

pairs are good. 3oak is pretty good. straights are not all that good but they are a lot of fun, they have a lot of jokers that work with them and they scale really fast

high card builds are silly fun

generally pairs are good because they score enough to not die while still being really easy to play

so they enable you to play a lot of hands while not dying, letting you scale stuff that relies on hands played, and play consistently

[proper pollen]

not in like the first ante tho

[vague elbow]

yeah. no

in the first ante honestly i would just play flushes LOL

two flushes is enough to beat the big blind, or a flush a two pair and a pair - but if you get literally any + mult joker it should just be enough

[proper pollen]

flush/full house/ straight, whichever seems easiest to draw from the cards you get

[vague elbow]

generally speaking i'd say that's a flush

[vestal copper]

straight flush

[vague elbow]

if you have a near-straight it might be worth to look for the high or low card but idk

[knotty zodiac]

dat seance synergy 👌

[vague elbow]

a good enough +mult joker might mean you can even play 2 pair or 3oak tbh

[proper pollen]

yeah because when you have 4/5 cards for a flush theres like 9 more you could pull compared to either 4 or 8 for straight or like 4 for full house

[vague elbow]

full houses are just not consistent yeah. if you have a 3oak digging for any pair works ok

i typically just fish for flushes and straights in the first ante cause like - theyre easy and they score enough

sometimes u gotta just tank the big blind cause theres nothing in the shop tho

[knotty zodiac]

generally i always draw for flush (9 outs) unless i have 3 or less AND I get an open ended straight (8 outs) or a triple (draw for full house/4oak)

but ya as someone getting into the game, "just draw for a flush" is right >80% of the time

at least for round 1

[exotic orchid]

Whaaaa... Yuge.

[heady minnow]

joker luck is INSANE rn I got both of these in ante 2

[vague elbow]

awesome!

[jagged cliff]

thats a free win right there

[vague elbow]

(it isn't, what you need now is hand levels)

[odd mango]

Omg this game is addicting

[vague elbow]

hi Middleagedwoman43

[odd mango]

Still a newb but finally beat the fish

[proper pollen]

poor fish

[odd mango]

Hi!

[vague elbow]

what did it ever do to you :(

[shell dagger]

flopped around

[odd mango]

All hand withdrawn Zz

Wtf is that no skill lol

But i kinda get it now

You kinda build around your joker

[woven spire]

indeed

[odd mango]

It keeps on beating me. I was like how can beat this boss when its all hand withdrawn

[fringe nebula]

save your discards

[vague elbow]

yeah, if you discard you can throw away the face down cards.

[woven spire]

i forgor what the fish does

[fringe nebula]

discard the cards that are facing down, and everything will go back to normal

[vague elbow]

not even necessarily all of them btw

you can use the sorting methods to tell what cards are in your hand

[odd mango]

This was my lineup that was finally able to defeat the fish

[tawdry burrow]

don't you just love

I had literally nothing better at the shops

[odd mango]

I see

Welp i got lucky

[fringe nebula]

give me the seed

[odd mango]

I was dealing the face down cards

[fringe nebula]

lemme try

[vague elbow]

um haha, just a heads up, all that paradoleia is doing for you is giving you 1.5x mult with the baseball card... which is pretty funny

[jagged cliff]

you couldn't find anything with 149 dollars?

[tawdry burrow]

and the run is like 2 days old

[odd mango]

But even my pair is lvl 3 now

[tawdry burrow]

and my habit of not clicking the run info button because fuck touchscreen controls!

[odd mango]

Plus combined that with multiplier

[edgy whale]

Which one would u choose?
Blood+Oops
Or
Ancient+Smeared
?

[fringe nebula]

you're just walking into your own demise lol
should've spent those money to find something that counters the boss

[odd mango]

This

[fringe nebula]

pairslop

[vague elbow]

blood + oops

it's almost the same as ancient + smeared but runs a lower risk of having my cards debuffed lol

[edgy whale]

bruhh

[tawdry burrow]

and for some reason the games performance is ass even if LOVE2D is supposedly a very efficient engine

[vague elbow]

and i can just make all my cards hearts

[ebon maple]

Damn

[fringe nebula]

huh?

[ebon maple]

The bus will be Happy

[odd mango]

So should i sell it now at this point?

[fringe nebula]

the game is running fine for me

[vague elbow]

i'd sell it if you find another, more useful Uncommon joker in the shop

or if the boss blind is the plant

[tawdry burrow]

yes I'm on a budget chip (Helio G91 Ultra) but I'm pretty sure even that would be able to run Balatro above what 30 FPS?

[odd mango]

Lowkey don’t want to play and lose and go all the way back to the beginning Zzz

Shit is stressful

[vague elbow]

its a roguelike...

[odd mango]

What do you mean by this?

[knotty zodiac]

i like how midas and bus are right next to each other. feel like theyre not usually on speaking terms

[vague elbow]

well losing and starting a new run from scratch is like an integral part of the genre lol

[vague elbow]

after all your cards are gold you have no reason to play them tbf

[odd mango]

Ok thanks. Its a shame cause that joker was the one who help me on the earlier rounds lol

[odd mango]

Stressful!! Hahaha I worked so hard dammit

[vague elbow]

im curious how. paraedolia only works with jokers and boss blinds that specify face cards

[odd mango]

Respect the game tho no pay to win omg

[vague elbow]

i mean i guess the 1.5x from baseball cards pretty good early

[knotty zodiac]

there's just some tension between wanting more face cards and wanting less face cards in the deck

[odd mango]

I work at such an easy job where im on my phone 8 hours of my 12 shift

No more doomscrolling because of this game

[royal bobcat]

https://youtu.be/9abVM_d1cEU?si=M5FlwpTjikBzoF8t funniest shi I've watched this week. Yes it's Monday morning

[knotty zodiac]

now only doom(re)rolling

[fringe nebula]

????????????????????????????????

that is better than mine

[vague elbow]

ok yall now that i finished green, what do i gold stake next?
choices: red, blue, painted, and anaglyph

i'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel now

[jagged cliff]

red 🗣️

[odd mango]

I want to discover my own strategy and only consult here but eventually im going to look at guides at youtube because this shit is fun lol

[fringe nebula]

painted

[ebon maple]

Do i take gronkler as my flat mult?

[vague elbow]

sorry shouldve answered faster

[vague elbow]

what's the bus at?

[odd mango]

Hahahaah used to play poker for a semi living

The old gambler in me likes this game

[knotty zodiac]

lets never meet. im a lifetime donor at the table xD

[fringe nebula]

taking eternal midas while playing bus
uh

[vague elbow]

you dont play gold cards

[manic talon]

selling yorick still a 100% winrate strategy, Common Yorick L

[vague elbow]

its literally fine its just precarious. -1 joker slot

[ebon maple]

Other way around

[fringe nebula]

ok good

[ebon maple]

Almost nothing

+8

[vague elbow]

damn.

thats an unfortunate groker then. would definitely be better than the bus

[edgy whale]

but dont u have higher chances to hit x1.5mult per card without deck fixing with ancient+smeared?

[vague elbow]

yeah but i dont want all my cards debuffed LOL

one boss blind instead of like 4 possible ones yknow

[vague elbow]

to be frank id just let the bus be a dead slot and play golden faces to get a bunch of mult on the vampire while scaling the groker.

[edgy whale]

yeah u can def manipulate ur deck around hearts once u get pass that heart debuffing blind...

[ebon maple]

Yeah thats what i am doing rn

The things is idk if to take gronkler as flat mult

[odd mango]

Wish me luck gotta go back now hopefully I unlocked more items and get a deck before im defeated

[ebon maple]

Like odd tod chips, flat mult joker and midas vamp xmult

[vague elbow]

truthfully your bus is not gonna scale with your vampire

it's a dead slot

[knotty zodiac]

crush it! lots of unlocks ahead

[vague elbow]

either accept your bus is crashed or sell the vamp

sell chaos, id say

[ebon maple]

Ik ik

Its at 0, i thought you asked what was it when i picked up the vamp

What i am scared is gronker not being good enough ig?

[vague elbow]

gronkler will scale at least a little bit unless youre relying heavily on discards to pull faces

[knotty zodiac]

i think its good enough that its worth trying vs rerolling into the dark. you need flat now

[ebon maple]

Fuck

[fringe nebula]

taking grimbo at ante 3 is fine

...

right as i said it

[ebon maple]

I understimated 6.4k

[vague elbow]

"the house always wins"
the house:

[ebon maple]

Fullh house prolly doesnt

[vague elbow]

well no the joke is that its the house

the boss

[fringe nebula]

b612zr66

lemme try

[vague elbow]

me 2

[ebon maple]

OHHH

[edgy whale]

what's the worst poker hand that doesn't go along with >8 synergies?

[vague elbow]

oh its anaglyph i dont got gold unlocked on that

[ebon maple]

The seed is pretty good imo

[jagged cliff]

guess you gotta do that one soon

[digital pewter]

so like lowkey

[vague elbow]

i dont wanna play default-deck

i mean, im just - i dont skip

and when i do its ante 1

[digital pewter]

what if flowerpot only needed to have all suits played in hand instead of needing all suits to be scored in hand

[knotty zodiac]

better balance, less fun

[vague elbow]

it would be extremely easy to do that lol

[jagged cliff]

mostly same, but the fun with this deck is just getting that good negative tag when youve got a lot piled up, and then getting total ass jokers

[vague elbow]

maybe? that sounds like a good plan for C++

[heady minnow]

why do people like hack as a joker?

[heady minnow]

you have to have REALLY buffed small cards for it to be good

[vague elbow]

it retriggers 4 ranks. its closest comparison is sock and buskin which retriggers 3 ranks

[knotty zodiac]

with just a bit of glass, you are in business

[vague elbow]

retriggers synergize with a ton of things. and honestly ranks matter very little

[vestal copper]

hack and wee

[jagged cliff]

hacking love wee

[tacit stream]

hack wee, hack fib

[digital pewter]

i mean yeah, but at the same time doing it normally without somehow inflating your deck with a bunch of wilds is very rough considering you need to basically only play full houses or 4/5oak, and there you run into playing multiples of the same suit

[heady minnow]

so the game is to get a bunch of small ranks and level them up and then since I LOVE hanging chad I use those with faces?

[subtle drum]

cos it's good

[ebon maple]

Imo it would be better if he was like +1xmult per suit played

[digital pewter]

yeah probably

[tacit stream]

don't forget straights (it might be a bit tougher though)

[digital pewter]

true sorta

[vague elbow]

hmmmm. honestly if youre playing photochad then idk if hack is gonna work for you. the point of hack is you play a bunch of 5 4 3 2 and you have enhancements or fibonnaci or odd todd etc

[digital pewter]

harder with straights but still possible

[vague elbow]

or wee

straights have for me been the flowerpot run hand

not that i do those very often LOL

[heady minnow]

I am playing photochad do I sell it?

[knotty zodiac]

flowerpot straight is really fun

[jagged cliff]

ive got beef with flowerpot, first time i used it i thought it worked if you just played one wildcard in there, ended up dying, never used it again 💔

[vague elbow]

are your low ranked cards enhanced or anything? honestly it depends but usually yeah. you probably want hacks older brother sock and buskin

[heady minnow]

straights are very unlikely and the way they work is confusing so I don't like to mess with them

[vague elbow]

straights are pretty good odds

a specific straight, not so much

[heady minnow]

no my run is pretty early

[vague elbow]

but any straight, thatll work

[vague elbow]

yeah hack isnt really doing anything for you then. if you want it for the future maybe but if youre playing photochad you probably dont need it

the trick to playing straights is that the middle of the ranks are played in the most straights. the other trick to straights is killing a lot of cards

[heady minnow]

well it doesn't matter anymore my run ended cause I got overconfident and started wasting my discards in hope of a face card

[vague elbow]

ah

[heady minnow]

I do still wanna play photochad though it's really fun

[vague elbow]

yeah honestly photochad needs a lot of support early

planet levels are integral

[heady minnow]

I just find it hard to get jupiter a lot of the time which is the one I go for most

I really only play flushes

[vague elbow]

ah yeah, flushes arent super good with photochad unfortunately... you usually wanna just try playing pairs or high card with it, cause only the first card you play actually does anything...

[heady minnow]

I find it good if I get a lot of faces

cause photo will still be useful

[vague elbow]

well... photo only works on your first face card.

you wanna play them in multiple hands, cause any extra ones you play won't score

[heady minnow]

oh wait I think I got confused

I actually don't know why I thought that

I could've sworn I was getting xmult from all my faces

weird

[jagged cliff]

did you have another joker that was contributing to the other xmult?

[heady minnow]

no

[jagged cliff]

hmm

[heady minnow]

@justspidey

oops

[jagged cliff]

what the, how dare you use an e instead of a 3

[knotty zodiac]

you can turn the game speed down to 0.5x to watch the count next time

[jagged cliff]

thats disrespectful

😔

[knotty zodiac]

but ya you only get x2 from the first card for photo

[odd mango]

Gg

[heady minnow]

sorry it was a mistake I didn't read it properly cause I usually read 3s in leet as just e and miss when I type it wrong

anyway I was gonna ask, is your status a reference to pop fizz from skylanders?

[odd mango]

Damn im glad i made it this far for a newb

But yeah props to the dev of this game

[jagged cliff]

yupp, my fav lander of 'em all

[odd mango]

This shit is complex

[heady minnow]

🔥

[jagged cliff]

you'll get it dont worry

[heady minnow]

I like punch pop fizz do you like him too? I think it's a cool recolor

[odd mango]

AI would break its mind trying to comprehend everything

Cope lol

[jagged cliff]

i like all pop fizzes, ive got them all as well

[heady minnow]

that's SO cool

[jagged cliff]

also bought the pop fizz youtooz, gonna be shipping in april i think

[heady minnow]

my brother has a really good skylanders collection, his best ones are blastertron and power blue double dare trigger happy

[odd mango]

Hopefully. I just learned that all the rank can be lvl up and I was wait so that means I should aim for straight now instead of fullhouse+

[heady minnow]

we should move this to #🃏・off-topic probably if we are to keep discussing this

[odd mango]

Plus my pair was higher than 2 pair

[jagged cliff]

oo, PBDDTH is one i still need, ive got like 373 skylanders now in total, hoping to get them all one day

[small ferry]

bruh

[odd mango]

Especially if I add stones on it

[jagged cliff]

nahh, theres no one here anyway, mostly

[heady minnow]

that's insane

balatro is SO difficult and there's SO much to learn HELP

[jagged cliff]

yurp, its been a long collection journey

[latent egret]

just put the pairs in the bag

[jagged cliff]

youll get it

[heady minnow]

I don't play pairs though

[heady minnow]

thank you

[vestal copper]

all c++sers gonna kill you

[heady minnow]

well I guess I'm giving the pairs to someone else

[small ferry]

pairs just suck gng

like legit

[knotty zodiac]

🍐

[jagged cliff]

i dont play pair as well

I usually play flushes

most played hand by far

[vestal copper]

[drowsy rain]

Ethical gold stake xmult

[small ferry]

FLUSH APPRECIATOR!!!!

i luv me sum flushes

[heady minnow]

I almost only play flushes

[small ferry]

most played hand by far

[heady minnow]

I play flushes unless I can't

[jagged cliff]

its just so reliable

[patent sail]

Killing you with hammers rn

[small ferry]

yeah green joker is impossible with me

[patent sail]

We LOVE green joker

Green joker nation rise

[jagged cliff]

whos WE

[latent egret]

factually incorrect

[heady minnow]

sometimes it isn't but that's just the luck to blame, most stuff isn't as reliable as flush is though

[latent egret]

they might suck to play

[small ferry]

dwight just come and dunk on u

[latent egret]

but its the most reliable way to win

by a decent margin

[small ferry]

ig

[patent sail]

Just pair it up

[heady minnow]

I wish I could win

[small ferry]

but they just suck

[vestal copper]

two pairs are for the real ones

[patent sail]

Pair it up

[small ferry]

i used to play two pairs

[heady minnow]

pairs are so bad

[patent sail]

As good as flushes may seem to be pairs have so many more synergies

[patent sail]

Youll get it one day dw

[tender quarry]

True, they only score like +15 chips and +1 mult on the planet, that's nothing

Like why would I ever play pairs

[heady minnow]

I don't wanna know how many upgrades that would take to make it any worthwhile

[patent sail]

Kid named Jokers

[tender quarry]

That's a terrible name for a child

[heady minnow]

yeah it is

[patent sail]

Chat full of whitestakers today smh 😔😔😔

[knotty zodiac]

pairs are way easier to upgrade with blue seals and flush scaling at 2/15 just doesnt keep up

[heady minnow]

I can literally only play white stake I haven't played this game over 1000 hours

[patent sail]

Nor have i

I have like 200 at most

You dont need 1000 hours to master the art of pairslop

[jagged cliff]

balatro addicts when your favorite hand isn't pair:

[tender quarry]

It scores twice as much, enables enhancements like glass which reduces reliance on finding xMult and the deck manipulation to play flush is really easy

[vestal copper]

i jave like 160

[tender quarry]

As well as less reliance on +Mult jokers of course

[vestal copper]

pairs are good

[knotty zodiac]

fave is one thing. calling the other hand "bad" is just wrong lol

[patent sail]

Pair requires no manipulation whatsoever

Lowk dont even need to discard most of the time

To master balatro one must learn the ancient art of pairslop

[tender quarry]

True but it's quite low tempo in comparison, there's a higher barrier to entry for survival which in turn means you need a stronger start

[heady minnow]

pairing isn't fun at all though I'd be so bored of the game if that's how I played

[jagged cliff]

the fact you say pairslop makes it sound like its a bad hand to play

[royal bobcat]

i think most veteran balatro players hate pairs

[jagged cliff]

frfr

[royal bobcat]

pair is slop

[patent sail]

It is

[royal bobcat]

its slop that wins

but its slop

[patent sail]

But guess what

It wins

Game just incentivises small hands way too hard

If there was something that made me play more like idk full houses id play more full houses

But pair just turns put to be most optimal no matter how boring it may seem

[stone shell]

i remember making a suggestion to add full house jokers centered around deckfixing for other hands

[royal bobcat]

my favorite hand in the game is four of a kind followed by full houses

[fringe nebula]

yeah not taking the bus was the right choice

[stone shell]

so like stepping stone jokers into 4oak and stuff

[royal bobcat]

i would NEVER place pair in my most fun hands

[patent sail]

Full house is such a chuddy hand

Like i lowk like it actually, but its just so mediocre

[royal bobcat]

im a chud :(

[vestal copper]

true

[ebon maple]

Yeah, the seed was pretty good

[patent sail]

Hey i like full house

[vestal copper]

flush fives are cool

[patent sail]

Its super underappreciated

[fringe nebula]

yeah pair feels kind of spammy ngl

my favorite part of the game is managing tarot cards, so spamming pairs like that feels eh

[vestal copper]

but 2 pairs are goats

[royal bobcat]

full houses are silly and i like them thats why painted is my 3rd fav deck

[fringe nebula]

but it helps me win

like idk

[vestal copper]

5oak 8s 🤤

[patent sail]

But just because its like

Way too annoying to draw sometimes with not a whole lot of other synergies to support it

[jagged cliff]

just let me play as much cards as possible and hear that sweet sweet xmult sound

[tender quarry]

Full house is just not good

Because like 3oak exists

[royal bobcat]

i KNOW but i LIKE full house ANYWAY

[vestal copper]

u seem like a flush 5 enjoyer

[stone shell]

tarots and deck fixing is the most fun common element of the game to me

especially wheel fr

[jagged cliff]

i am

[fringe nebula]

always spin the wheel

[patent sail]

There need to be stronger +mult scalers scaling off of bigger hands

[vestal copper]

aj red seal wild cards

[gentle lintel]

This build has turned out stupid

[royal bobcat]

its just like macro in ror2 for real!!!

[gentle lintel]

12 hands per round

[tender quarry]

To be honest I like macro gameplans and the shop decisions that come with it more than anything else in the game

[patent sail]

Rn bus and green are meta cuz you can spam them with pairs/hc

[heady minnow]

YES I GOT A GROSS MICHAEL

[vestal copper]

gg

[tender quarry]

I honestly enjoy pair runs

[fringe nebula]

that looks normal to me

good synergies

[jagged cliff]

bros gonna be perished next round

[knotty zodiac]

or stick around til ante 8

[heady minnow]

doesn't matter as long as I get a cavendish later on

[vestal copper]

no this banana is not perishable

[heady minnow]

also you were right

[stone shell]

yeah cuz it'll die in 6 rounds not 5

[jagged cliff]

eternal michael when

[vestal copper]

true..?

[fringe nebula]

sometimes michel just..... refuses to die for 6 antes straight

[drowsy rain]

When Balatro two comes out

[vestal copper]

eternal rental perishable showman

[jagged cliff]

Balatro 2 🗣️
now with microtransactions

[patent sail]

Also can we talk about straights as the hand

Ive warmed up to them a lot lately icl

[drowsy rain]

Battletro Pass

[stone shell]

michel either folds in 2 rounds or fights for its life for 10 antes

[vestal copper]

wait does rental still eat money after the joker perishes

[stone shell]

yes

[vestal copper]

guh

[fringe nebula]

nah here's something better

[jagged cliff]

gonna have to spend real money to open packs, get emotes, skins and battle royale mode

[patent sail]

Like it can be scary sometimes

But scaling on it is wild, sometimea i dont even need a chip joker with those

[knotty zodiac]

enhancements dont work, still takes rental fee. what a scam lol

[stone shell]

the amount of joy this brings to me

[drowsy rain]

But it’s ok because now the game is free

[royal bobcat]

did thunk add new emojis?

[stone shell]

honestly i LOVE straights in general

[vestal copper]

no

[fringe nebula]

straight is fun

ngl

[jagged cliff]

but the DLC to unlock all jokers cost 150 dollars bc its the collectors pack

[patent sail]

Ive had a seed with one of those in very first shop

3 dollars short 🔥🔥🔥

[royal bobcat]

:(

[stone shell]

though for some reason my brain is atypical and still clings on to the idea super position is good

[vestal copper]

superposition IS good

[stone shell]

knowing damn well straights usually one shot every time theyre played

[knotty zodiac]

need one more hand to beat the boss? watch an ad to get an extra hand!

[jagged cliff]

it does say in the down right they were just added

so maybe

[vague elbow]

i like superposition

[heady minnow]

I thought you meant the sexuality straight and in the channel general 😭

[jagged cliff]

now you got a energy system, can only play so many games, then gotta wait til it recharges

[tender quarry]

Superposition isn't really good unless you're able to miss the straight and still win the round

[fringe nebula]

superposition is ok, but other common tarot gen like hallu absolutely mog it

[vague elbow]

its not that good by itself but if youre playing straights anyway its just a few free tarots

[royal bobcat]

[tender quarry]

Or if you have a lot of deck manip (mostly thinning)

[vague elbow]

well - if youre not cutting highs and lows.

[royal bobcat]

waiting for the balatro deck to be restocked PLEASE thunk i NEED IT

[vestal copper]

hallu is just broken ngl

[patent sail]

8 ball gave me 1 tarot from 11 triggers 🎊🎉

[jagged cliff]

like little alchemist

[pine swift]

4 BPS.

[knotty zodiac]

its sold out? suddenly im fomo

[fringe nebula]

hallu is sooo strong. I won many gs runs by taking eternal hallu

[royal bobcat]

its been sold out for months

[stone shell]

my mind still clings to the one game where superposition was at comparable tarot gen to VAGABOND while HAVING MONEY

[royal bobcat]

i wanted to buy them for christmas in december and they were gone alr

[jagged cliff]

i got like 4 packs

[vague elbow]

hallucination isnt broken im sorry. it costs like $4 per tarot and its a 1/2 chance so its more like $8 per tarot which is just crazy. if you have good econ its really good for sure, but its not broken

[royal bobcat]

scalper in chat

[vestal copper]

dice

[drowsy rain]

Superposition requires you to play in a way you might not want to in order to generate value (which I think is fun and engaging) vs hallucination giving you tarots for doing something you already do

[stone shell]

the thing is hallucination rewards you for doing something you're already doing

[vague elbow]

oh, absolutely

[stone shell]

im opening my arcana pack with or without hallucination

[jagged cliff]

i just use 2 in most card games and wanted 2 for when those other 2 wore down too much 😭

[stone shell]

so its free value

[vague elbow]

which is what superposition does if youre already playing straights for any reason, right?

[vestal copper]

with dice its insane too

[patent sail]

Vwry specific straights

[fringe nebula]

hallu dice is becoming my favorite combo

[royal bobcat]

yeeah well because of you i don't know the joy of having a balala deck

[jagged cliff]

sorry

[royal bobcat]

it is YOUR fault

[vague elbow]

without deck thinning theres 8 possible straights that gen a tarot

[royal bobcat]

as a person

john balatro said it was

[vague elbow]

its really not that hard to get a wheel or a high straight

if youre not already playing straights its probably not worth getting into tbf

[patent sail]

Im way more likely to go for 10-6 straights idunno

[vestal copper]

hallu is just always nice to have

[drowsy rain]

Superposition is a decent early game pickup since pairs don’t pick up until mid game

but again hallucination is just better

[patent sail]

Superposition is a very fun concept but its like

Meh to me

[fringe nebula]

any zodiac deck gold stake experts here???

how do you play this deck

[knotty zodiac]

you have superposition and draw AKQJ7654. do you try for the 10? interesting decision but shows that ace ended straights are tricky

[patent sail]

Try to not lose

[drowsy rain]

Jokerless run practice

[fringe nebula]

very helpful, get out

[patent sail]

Play cards

[vestal copper]

thats not funny

[patent sail]

It is

[vague elbow]

zodiac deck is my favorite deck

[fringe nebula]

me when i ask a genuine question

[vague elbow]

its literally nothing but upside

[patent sail]

I never played that deck idk is it that different

[royal bobcat]

idk u play it like another deck

u just have more tarot and planet than normal

[patent sail]

Yeah ikr

[fringe nebula]

idk it feels weird to play the normal way

[vague elbow]

and jokers!

[drowsy rain]

The problem with zodiac is a lot of early games just die before they get started since there’s not a lot of jokers

[patent sail]

Just play the way you always play

[royal bobcat]

yeah your shops just become better

[vague elbow]

people dont know this but zodiac gives you more of everything besides spectral

[solemn sonnet]

i just died because my lucky cards hit money instead of mult oh my lord

[royal bobcat]

funnily enough you get more jokers per shop than any other deck

[vague elbow]

this is not true. overstock counteracts the other vouchers and you actually see MORE jokers

[jagged cliff]

the only thing i can give you is this photo i have on my phone of my desk, there you can see the balatro pack of cards you will NEVER have

[patent sail]

Suffering from success

[fringe nebula]

i can see that honestly

zodiac makes FT and campfire soooo much stronger

[drowsy rain]

I don’t even play zodiac so I wouldn’t know

[solemn sonnet]

i was like 1,6k score off too😭

[drowsy rain]

I just know it gives tarot and planet merchant

[vague elbow]

no, like mathematically, it makes all kinds of cards appear more often

[vague elbow]

and overstock :)

[royal bobcat]

im being stolen by someone with pop figurines </3

[vestal copper]

holy peak

[fringe nebula]

yeah but less jokers

[patent sail]

Overstock is huge

[vague elbow]

no!

it's not less jokers!

it's more!

[drowsy rain]

Too much math

[patent sail]

Wow tarots are heavy

[jagged cliff]

whats wrong with funko pops

[patent sail]

They need to lose some weight

[vestal copper]

obesity

[heady minnow]

wait sock and buskin seems REALLY good

[royal bobcat]

idk thats the least interesting form of merch to me

[brazen island]

Hey

[knotty zodiac]

On zodiac deck, are purple seals better or worse than other decks? I assume they're lower priority?

[vestal copper]

its quite good

[brazen island]

Late night psychosis

[vague elbow]

genuinely, there is literally no downside to zodiac deck. you literally just get more of everything

[brazen island]

Freaking out

What’s up with Balatro

[royal bobcat]

something thats in a single format and squeezes every franchise to fit that format i dont like it

[drowsy rain]

Pretty sure you take purple seal regardless of deck

[jagged cliff]

i get it, but its just so easy to display and find figures of characters you like

[brazen island]

Hate those snail shamans man they’re such assholes

[royal bobcat]

have you seen tv show funko pops? you literally can't tell whos who

im not saying you shouldn't ever buy any but i just think theyre lame

[vestal copper]

you have beef with me buddy?

[patent sail]

Chat what deck do i do 8th (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Ghost, Abandoned and Checkered down)

[vague elbow]

black

get it outta the way

[royal bobcat]

checkered down

[knotty zodiac]

sometimes there's a marginal joker worth considering vs opening a pack

[royal bobcat]

i did the decks in order

[vague elbow]

i did black deck like third

[jagged cliff]

you'd hate my one piece shelf

[patent sail]

I gently kill yoy with hammers

[royal bobcat]

i just skipped ghost for last

[brazen island]

If you’re a snail shaman then yes

[vestal copper]

anaglyph

[vestal copper]

get out

[royal bobcat]

😔 indeed

[drowsy rain]

Joker packs is usually a take over a standard yes

[vague elbow]

would you rather save black deck till the end and grind that slog for days or do it now and move onto the less grueling decks?

[royal bobcat]

i did black deck early

because its early in the deck order

its like 5th

iirc

[fringe nebula]

i did black deck second on my second c++ grind

[royal bobcat]

red blue green yellow black?

yellow and green might be swapped

[patent sail]

Yes i would rather that

Let me have my fun while i can

Horrors and suffering after

[vague elbow]

i mean, fair enough. i just got it out of the way

[fringe nebula]

the nice thing about jimbo is that you can buy it for $2 and have interest bonus at second round

[vague elbow]

i kinda cheated tho cause i just reset for an investment tag over and over and over

[vestal copper]

what should i do after checkered

[drowsy rain]

Always procrastinate

Good life lesson

[patent sail]

Jimbo goes by he/him thats misgendering

[jagged cliff]

its always worked out for me, why stop now

[manic talon]

again

[patent sail]

Zodiac idk

[knotty zodiac]

i'll stop tomorrow

[vestal copper]

sure if

ig

[patent sail]

Ill do zodiac next tbh

[jagged cliff]

or you could procrastinate

[fringe nebula]

jimbo will never be a person. jimbo is an it

[vestal copper]

i need to do orang and gold i think

[knotty zodiac]

tomorrow me: "ill stop tomorrow"

[drowsy rain]

Has anyone ever said their favorite deck is Nebula

[knotty zodiac]

ad infinitum

[patent sail]

Whats next, blueprint and brainstorm arent she/her and arent kissing?

[patent sail]

Its so weird

Why is it like that

[vestal copper]

pluebrint and strainbrompt

[pine swift]

I dont think i should pickup brainstorm right now bcs i need need dna and other stuff. Whats your opinion?

[knotty zodiac]

i do like that gambling for a blue seal is less important

[royal bobcat]

jimbo is a good early jonkler

[jagged cliff]

do you need mail?

[patent sail]

Jimbo is a good jonkler

The best even

[drowsy rain]

One consumable slot is an act of Satan

[patent sail]

He is John Balatro

[pine swift]

Its good for economy to leep rolling

[knotty zodiac]

ya that part sucks. esp as an emperor enjoyer

[jagged cliff]

i mean if you have gold cards, than id say take the brainstorm

[royal bobcat]

nebula is the deck i dislike the most

[patent sail]

Why is it -1 consumable slot thats so random and inconvenient

[royal bobcat]

its just so FUCKING LAME OH GOD

[knotty zodiac]

plasma is the most pain

[drowsy rain]

Even when you use it correctly it’s just mid game planet spamming which is just not fun

[patent sail]

That telescope is NOT worth my consumable slot

[drowsy rain]

Telescope doesn’t even scale well late ante

it’s just -1 consumable slot by ante 7

[patent sail]

Who hurt localthunk to make it that way

[drowsy rain]

Genuinely

Would play black deck over nebula

[knotty zodiac]

paid for by the astronomer union

[royal bobcat]

i like having 6 jokers more than having telescope

so yes i'll play black deck before nebula

[patent sail]

Ill leave black deck for last regardless because its evil and scary

[royal bobcat]

racism core

[patent sail]

Nebula second last because just annoying

[jagged cliff]

Painted deck worst deck

[patent sail]

Idk

[drowsy rain]

Found the straights hater 🥀

[jagged cliff]

why would i ever want -1 jokerslot

the jokers are the fun part

[patent sail]

That 2 hand size is huge

[royal bobcat]

hating painted just means "i only play pairslop and i glaze pairslop"

2 hand size is worth a joker slot

[jagged cliff]

i usually play flushes

pairs is probs one of the least played hands

[royal bobcat]

troubadour is 2 hand size, a joker slot AND -1 hand

[drowsy rain]

Straights are great on painted and great on abandoned

and I love straights

[patent sail]

I mean i do only play pairslop and i do glaze it

But give me an opportunity for straights and ima lowk straight it up lmk

[royal bobcat]

i play full houses on painted because i'm chuddy like that

[patent sail]

If they had more synergies id do tyem

They are silly

[patent sail]

And my fav hand to oneshot small blind

[drowsy rain]

Full house watching gold stake players hang out with pairs and high score players hang out with flush house

[jagged cliff]

you should play only high card decks on painted, by that i mean that only the played card scores

[royal bobcat]

i dont see anyone playing flush houses

poor ceres...

[vague elbow]

this has got to be the stupidest run ever 😭 flat mult doesnt exist we DO not need it

[drowsy rain]

Actually a good high score hand

[patent sail]

They are a hand thats kinda like

There

[drowsy rain]

since flush house scales the best technically

[vague elbow]

flush house scales better than flush five but is hard to fix for

[royal bobcat]

the only endless support they have is trib but who cares about endless

[drowsy rain]

Pretty decent multiplayer hand if you ever see that

[knotty zodiac]

full house and straight flush need to have a better transition path from 2 pair and straight. rn theyre not worth building

[royal bobcat]

ceres is tied with neptune for best scaling

[patent sail]

I mean i had flush house come in clutch once with a suit changer tarot to survice abysmal card draw in ante 2

[vague elbow]

is flush five not just better

[patent sail]

That run was later won

[vague elbow]

like i genuinely dont think ceres being slightly better than eris makes it good enough

[drowsy rain]

Depends a lot on deck fixing, I see a decent amount of games where people use flush house

[royal bobcat]

flush five can get better idols and rebates

[drowsy rain]

Yeah and jokers of course

[royal bobcat]

but thats only endless

[tawdry burrow]

the Tensor processors can at least open the game right

[vague elbow]

especially when idol is easily one of the best jokers for endless

[royal bobcat]

flush five is just easier to make

[drowsy rain]

Like if you run photochad in multiplayer sometimes flush house is just better

I’m not an expert in it but I see how it happens

[ebon maple]

CANIO

[jagged cliff]

Can(io) you win the run now

[ebon maple]

AND FOIL GLUTTONOUS

[drowsy rain]

[patent sail]

Stickers?

The ones on the left are bad ones (usually)

Ones on the right are just stake win stickers

[heady minnow]

it's this stupid app that's a scam and has these weird ai song ads about like high cortisol and procrastination

[drowsy rain]

Don’t worry I have no idea what you’re talking about

[royal bobcat]

another day another loss for replayability

[heady minnow]
