is it normal that i have 700 hours in this game and cant get consistent winning streaks on gold stake
whats 4oak guys
You could probably do 20k with something
Yes
Not enough money,
and maybe maybe that something is ~700
Bc money solves all those issues
to get to 100k
Damnit I lost
sob
i just cant get the hang of it how to play gold stake consistently
Thats normal for like every game to ever exist ye
Balatro
Play pairs
and take jimbo if neccesary
not even the most experienced veteran in the universe can go against his faith
U should be decent at a task you did for 700hours
write that one down
gold stake feels like eXtremely compleX
Nah
Balatro
Is actually not that complicated
At least compared to the other titles I play
Nah it was 6 straight antes of tarot merchant followed by planet merchant
No voucher skips?
Two, with colas both times
@serene forge
All it takes is a massive injection of mercury via blue seals
I did unless I absolutely needed the slot to
Ew why animations off yucky
the problem is always the X mult when you doent find anything that synergyses till the late antes
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT
turned off the animations
You dont need ×mult till ante 5-7 most runs tho in GS theres always more than enough time
I mean
Sometimes
Rarely
Died because I couldn’t find Retcon. Perfect naneinf setup otherwise.
Natural negative troubadour
Most my fail runs die in ante 5
I wanna know what those 2 new discoveries are because I have C++ lol
it's the friends you made along the way
Are you fucking kidding me?
Not playing on a progression file
wouldbe been perfect for naneinf
its a bug that ankh'ed/invis'ed jokers' backs are red deck always
Needle sucks
Ur in ante 2 it aint time to worry about showmen
-Nan is just Nan
how good would be a deck that makes you start with a negative showman
They mean the exact same thing
Lost yet another loan to ditech
N.A.N = Not A Number || literal meaning
Showman is the only joker that can negatively impact your run
So mid
awesome judgement pull
Judgement
in the actual game, nothing is called "-nan". You are so far behind in the conversation
Pain.
having the chance of finding multiple copies of the same joker doesn't sound too bad to me
especially in high antes
Okay, but NAN means not a number, So -Nan is "-" not a number, which answered your question
you need to spend more money on average to receive it's "potential" benefits
proactive scaling jokers are worse in duplicates, the jokers that are served as the most consistent method of scoring and winning in general gs runs
consumable blocking is disabled, showmans can naturally spawn
You rarely want to find copies of anything and when you do its only ever in endless.
Showman mixes up your celestial/arcana/planet packs and makes the stuff you want less likely to appear in them
-NaN is the oveeflow for talisman
invis is worse
which is sometimes used because endless moment
maybe yeah, it's just a benefit when you're in the high antes and have a proper money generator
not a benefit
it's an immediate detriment
I know Red Card is strong, but how?
Yeah
How does one utilize that
True
you can't warp your elaborate decision process into thinking that showman is of any general benefit as it is statistically lowering your probability of finding things you NEED
You open packs and if there isnt anything u want you skip
I see
every pack now contains 3 mult
how about that
if you so choose to take it as an option
yeah i think i understand
scrap that idea, then
how about a deck that starts with 250 negative bluperints?
It'd be a mid deck fr
worse than green
I hate to say it but checkered kinda mid I dont like it
i hate to say it but black deck is kinda mid i don't like it
ur mid
Skill issue
Nah
i wasnt asking anyone this question, it was that guy specifically, because once again "the actual game does not have that as anything"
completed with gold stake btw
i appreciate your attempt at help, but it was unneeded. thank you
Actually
thats pretty good
do you know what a reply is?
Everyone does at one point
i did it as my 2nd deck
thanks pal
-> asks someone who clearly doesnt know what it is "what is it"
-> someone who knows the answer answers the question
"Do u know what a reply is"
checkered is fun but I never tell people I enjoy checkered because people like vayn exist
Vayn?
What he say about checkered
vayn.
bloodstone is innocent here
I forgor pronouns
someone that flaunts about having a 20 win streak or whatever while only ever playing checkered
42
and of course is a bloodstone nut
vayn has been doing ws on checkered deck lately
Thats lame
I be doing those on a mix of zodiac gold and ghost on a rotation wheel
Thinking about adding blue
that sounds lame
Youre mom's lame >:[
i might accidentally get a pairless gsg going since I lucked out on black deck recently
for the pairless++ profile
and maybe go back to black++ profile to beat brookes monster pb ws
genuinely how do you play gs plasma
i don't understand this shit
Chips
I got half way to that
and stopped at 4
you hope for arrowhead + blueprints + retrigger
or 4x stuntman with 11 base hand size
no reset gameplay
money
retriggers
planets
chips
2 pair
you need 1k material each hand to win a non-vv finisher blind. this isn’t enough
material as in mult or chips
1k is what I shoot for on gold stake plasma
you didn't consider the straights base chips
oh level 15
so yeah 1k material
not referring to vv
non-vv finisher blind
don't tell me you just get to choose whatever finisher blind you wanna face
Funniest run ive ever played
what I was saying is that they didn’t have enough material for a normal finisher, even with vv out of the picture
how do you know that
💀
do i get rid of hanging chad
holy moly
yeah sack chad prob
bet bet thanks
brainstorm gives 5 retriggers, chad gives 2
i finally got card sharp joker
hell yeah
im kidding i got brainstorm
3x mult
did you know that e103 with card sharp added on is e309 which is naneinf don’t check my math
4 of a kind no enhanced cards
im getting the worst possible tarots
legit ragebait
who fw the new nettspend album lowk tuff
oh mu
dude i've lost like the last 30 runs in a row, simply not getting jokers I need to make anything work
ahh couldnt be me
1.089e13 at ante 5
dont smile
like am I just terrible or what lmfao i don't get what's going on other than terrible luck
are you new to the game?
are you dying early mid or late game?
yeah
early
hm
Always early
what deck have you been using
ur probably looking for a specific hand and geting too focused
for plasma you could be spending your money too early
yeah
you don't need good jokers right away because you can win with a good hand in one, you should just get icon
econ*
ur can get to ante 2 i think w no jokers
That much I do know yeah
it's around Ante 2-3 I just don't seem to get anything good to buy and then I just fizzle out
if you can't find any good jokers maybe you need to rely on planets
focus flush thats what ido
FINALLY
Alright, time to tackle plasma deck
straights are good for no good jokers
Balatro
what should i sell for rebate?
2nd joker i forgor name
or first the queen in hand one
tarot joker
i dont have that joker wym
thats juggler
the +1 handsize joker
hey guys i have a question. if i win with a deck i havnt won on before with a seed does it still count as a win?? meaning it has the chip on the front of the card deck
Seeded runs doesnt count for wins
ahh okya thanks
are you playing 3oak but with certificate?
even more reason to remove it
i have cert for hologram
yeah but if youre playing 3oak then itll make them harder to draw i mean
just wondering what hand type you're going for
it makes it easier actually
since i also have paintbrush
right now im trying to pivot to glass red seal jacks
do they also not count toward steam achivments?
i guess
i dont play on pc
achievements and lock conditions are unactive during a seeded run or a challenge
ttyyy
im probably cooked after like 2 more rounds lmao
wait wait wait
do i buy the baron card???
no
i just got ante 13 unseeded and then died to the plant
copy 1 sock
I’m in a tough spot and idk what to do, do I drop the $23 a round from the rocket for deck fixing?
A totally normal flush five build…
Just deckfix with tarot then run golden ticket
🎰
are you doing a high card build?
you have a lot of steel kings?
A few
Ended up taking the training card
Okay
Nice
ante 1 death because you couldn't find +mult
"Here, win"
what happened to the brainstorm
i dont even know
The arm murdered me
PHOTOCHAD BABY!
i've picked a madness after checking all my other jokers were eternal, then madness proceeded in disposing of my polychrome cavendish 😲 which of course wasn't eternal
u know u want to
w canio
wow
its his special property bro
he will not be harrased
theres some personal information in there im assuming
very
like his bank balance and how many hands he has
Asking too many questions
you know what youre right
also whats the red line about
i apologise
Take steel joker instead of burnt?
i dont even know lmao
I fine with a level 55 high card right
what just buy it
When I crop on my phone the marker fucks up sometimes
youre at 5/6
i see
lol
i sell my 5th joker to open space for something else when im on black deck
i do this painstakingly often
Because no one plays black deck enough to remember
ahem
there are some black deck gold stake enjoyers out there
they are on a level my mind cannot comprehend
why are we all spades whats going on
Hello
the answer is obvious
spade virus
one might dedicate their entire profile into black deck gs
one probably shouldnt
That has a name actually
oh
i cant even beat gold stake
black deck i mean
oh
you could try again
That would be a hell of a run
why have you decided to go down this route
its more entertaining than you think
I think we ALL know what to sell
swash?
Yeah
hologram
brainstorm💔💔💔
Balatro but hanged man and death are not allowed
Fuck no
c++ no consumables
I have 6 xmult on it
I see
Has anyone done ++ blindfolded
most flush players
Lmaooo
They don't look that the screen thats so real
I think i can pull off ++ no pairs
im currently doing it rn
I need a place to stream it so I can prove it
I wouldn't imagine itd be that hard most the hands are good
pair just becomes a shuffle between hc and 2 pair
Like only flushes have an argument for why their "bad" thats actually kinda valid lol
Fair fair, ive been leaning more into 3oaks tho
sounds like hell
first shop first ante rental pants and golden joker
Bc usually i only i prefer to death strong/gold cards over hanging non value cards
i don't think it's even possible (realistically)
god bless rentals
Its impossible because theres no noises that indicate what exactly youre doing
yeah
Who’s ready for yorick!
harder runs sometimes don't have the resource leniency to do that so that just becomes more of a second option (during my streak that is)
oh im ready for chigoat alright
another soul claimed
I’m selling gold for it
Two pair is the only reason I’ve made it this far
and
fuck the plant all my homies hate the plant 💔
Atleast you won the run
i love the plant
You shall die in a blazing bull (is that the right name?)
I was on pace for something fire 💔💔
Its ok. It happens
fav boss
🩷
abandoned deck propaganda
kinda
I knew that I had this saved somewhere because this isnt the first time that this happens
Quickly play the ace so you win
I love the plant
what's with the plant propaganda
Boss blind but it disables specifically 5s
or water
boss blind but it disables only heart kings
I forgot what water does
makes things wet
fairs...
Going for naneinf, do I take BP now or do I just trust that it shows up later 😭
boss blind but it disables prime numbered ranks
Finally got an immo
Boss blind but it disables only hearts
And it somehow hit the J
no discards
pairslop
get this guy on the dev team
another pairslop w
i love it
trust me even on pairslop you can lose to the water
rare
but happened once
tooth is prolly my favourite
Flow like water and beat the shit out of a knight
tooth is fine as long its not early
early tooth is a run killer
especially if you dont have scaled jokers and still depend on big hands to win
Y'all clearly don't have a be broke as fuck mindset
Vagabond with the be broke as fuck tech
exactly, I like my gameplay like my everyday life
vegabond with 3 rentals and credit card, debtmaxxing
If you use a hermit while you're at negative money does it double the negative so you get put farther into debt or does it give 0
yes you get 0-0
oops
Pairs can either be trash or op
trib is the epitome of constipation face
YOU
Egg vagabond build
I will die on the throwback hill
yeah that tends to happen a lot
throwback is my FAVORITE xmult card
consider this: no
i HATE hess!
plant da goat
A 10x throwback goes crazy
mmmmm dagger value
if throwback worked like it did pre nerf, it would be one of my more used ones
let's not get ahead of ourselves here
what do you even copy atp
jk its on blue
blue
plant is objectively the most harmless boss bind
it kills baron (ass) and STM (risky)
serpent
if you were to wipe out one page of jokers which would it be
serpant can fuck builds that need big hands
pchad
pg1
Serpent gives big hands
it doesnt lmao just use glass
discard singles until you get what you need, ship it
discard 1 card until you hit 0
if you need 2 big hands to win it doesnt
Okay then
someone died to serpent yesterday as they failed to draw a 4oak
opinions on ante -1
pretty good
what about it
Sounds like a failure to deck build
3 joker win
i died to the serpant last week playing 4oak. i failed to draw a 4th queen and i had 20 queens in deck
use most of your hands + discards on singles, get what you need, ship it
serpant is a nothing burger boss most of the time, but for gold stake its can be worse than the plant
Arm isn't much of a threat it's just annoying
the eye is prolly my least favorite boss blind actually
that's just the nature of serpent for poker hand specific builds
it depends on the timing. ante 7 arm when you alreay have xmult and scaled jokers is nothing
mid run it can kill a run especially if you depend on planets for chips
an oird
Just never level up a hand
what's the boss that flips and randomizes your jokers
acorn
that's my favourite one
exactly, like 1 level doesn't do much but it genuinely gets on my nerves when I see it go down
Acorn is the easiest finisher
lost to one today because i forgot that my 2 square jokers were poly and left them behind my flat mult 😭
I just set my game speed to O.5 and put them in the right order
amber is extermely easy just set game to slow and look at the effects
just hold onto the joker you like and it doesnt get shuffled
nobody does that anymore
yeah you dont even need 0.5x can see it on 4x if you dont have blueprint/brainstorm
it's the easiest too, play a high card with your game at 0.4x speed and rearrange
pm
i was just stupid enough to forget that i had 2 poly squares
Just play a hand and see who the hell does what then sort them out
i was tripping out why im scoring 50% less
violet vessel is so ass
then after i played my last hand i remembered that they were poly
It's either intimidating as fuck or easy as fuck
what's the worst legendary
trib
like bro, that was my hard work of setting up that blue seal
Chicot
are you suuuurree?
(angry goku gif)
chicot unless you have like 3 of them
tribbi trobbi 😂😂😂
No wait not chicot
I want what he's having
Canio
yes
relax brololero brolala
yorick > chicot > canio > perkeo > trib
canio is obviously the worst
If you can't find a hanged man then you're fucked
yeah I'm not gonna participate in this conversation
Yorick > Canio > Chicot > Perkeo > Trib
imo
not falling for it
Agreed
yorick > chicot > perkeo > trib > canio
i think canio and chicot interchangable in their position
i just love the safety chicot provides
oh god
What the hell is this
Trib canio chicot yorik perkeo
thank god canio doesnt have the same stupid bug glass joker has
That being
prreow
immolate/spectrals destroying doesnt scale
for some reason if you destroy a glass card with a spectral card it doesnt scale glass joker
canio is okay if you get him early, late game hes practically useless
But if you use trading card to destroy a glass it scales glass
yeah its just a bug with spectrals
dude got way too many of these
a single hangman makes canio 3x
if anything canio is the best legendary to pickup late as it can be scaled the fastest
An immolate with a canio and pareidolia goes nuts
i have the moldy edition too
yeah or pera + trading card
What's stencil doing
x2
my first ever legendary was canio and i sold it immediately lmao
Oh black deck
i felt super sad
you scare me chair guy
wdym
Didn't see the extra slot
we're playing the same game
what was the thought process put into this
why is plant hated
idk
canio can be frustrating when you dont find card destroyers but 1x per card is just nuts
skill issues ngl
i think my first legendary was like yorick
Thoughts on my photo no Chad build
plant is a reddit boss
amino watermark and itll be perfect
my first was Chicot
"just reroll" brutal💔
i dont like face cards
I got trib as my first legendary
mine was too
elite photochad
obelisk barime???
CHIGOAT
always mfs like you that don't like plant and chicot
is plant on abandoned deck just free
But the first legendary I got gold on was my boy yorik
make it make sense
chigoatttttttt
99.99% yes
practically the same effect across all decks
i like chicot
chicot works so well when you combine it with strong but counterable jokers
I didn't say anything against him why am I getting attacked 😭😭😭
how, abandoned starts with no face cards
If you don't build to face cards
it is the same effect across all decks
@lyric karma I finally beat the blue deck
plant can be inconvienent especially with face gold cards, and if you have seals on them
my first legendary was triboulet
key word starts
dont put gold or seals on faces then smh
Abandoned is free deck fixing
i think mine was yorick i dont remember correctly
@lyric karma
i dont unless i have midas
you think im roffle?
how much do you use DNA 😭
i wish there was a boss blind for each deck that specifically countered and only showed up on its specific deck
hey I have a question regarding chances
none?
if its one thing I struggled with its like
dna didn't show up at all this run
then HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MANY
tarots, or familiar
oh yeah, those exist
or packs
🟣
yeah what
on average every face card will give $1
2 dollar per trigger 50% chance
At least 0 dollars
how would it work on decks like ghost and zodiac?
platinum stake : the game reads your move
if you're relying on planets for chips, you will get back to back flint and eye
if you're doing photochad, you'll get plant
etc
no, it's not "for every 2", it's just 1/2 for each trigger
what's half of 2
Haven’t got thta far yet
oh
free win with photochad
50% chance each card. I just need an exact number for how many face cards I need to play to get atleast one trigger.
isn't there a joker that can give you a chance of 1 dollar for each face card in your hand?
true
there isnt one
There isnt one
reserved parking
AUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
You need 1 oops
is that just big money with pareidola?
to guarantee it you need to get an Oops! All 6s, otherwise it's just down to chance. without it even if you score a face 1000 times, theres still a chance you get 0 triggers.
its big money without
faceless parei is bigger
i really wish the effect of oops was a voucher
no
too strong
I don't
sometimes I like to turn it off at one point
stronger than handy?
Pasta without sauce
sauce without pasta
thats a great question
ghost deck: every hand, apply the downside of a random spectral card (thats not ankh or hex, still brutal)
zodiac deck: idek thats hard
sauce without sauce
infinite pasta but no sauce or infinite sauce but no sauce
infinite sauce but no sauce, definitely
how would you counter plasma
unlimited*
activating a 1 in 2 chance 2 times does not mean it is a 100% chance of activating once, it means it has a 50% chance of activating once, 25% chance of activating twice, 25% chance of not activating
statistics
meow
half chips
change the scoring system back to the normal one lol
i worded that badlyw hatever
what
I h8 statistics
I run plus chip builds on plasma, idk
its not tge only thing you can do on plasma though
I've only ever played plasma once
😭
that'd be a run killer
it would be like making the boss blind f abandoned deck "straights do not score"
me with my all chips build running into the plasma at ante 7 and just dying because all those chips makes about 4k score
junpscare warning
what does the [3] after best win streak mean, I don't go into stats much
im glad you dont influence game balancing
current win streak
ah I see
chat is the game trying to tell me something
bring back beta bloodstone
buff the bloodstone
even Steven and chad for the win
1 in 2 for 2x was too strong imo
is that a nerf or a buff
a crazy buff
damn that even steven + photo chad combo is crazy
blue and chad
no no no, bloodstone needs nerfing
why?
make bloodstone 2 for 2 chance
because itd be funny
yeah
have you ever heard the term "nerf pig"
ancient 2.0 😭
what would be a good nerf for bloodstone, 1 in 4?
1 in 8
1 in 4 to +5 mult
1 in 16 to +2 chips
not that one
or make it target a different heart card each time, 1 in 2 chance for 1.5x on 2 of hearts
+44 at ante 5 damn
the flat mult bloodstone 😀
death
I hate that card in the middle
and the one to the right of it
mystic summit is like, one of the best earlygame carry tf you mean?
close enough
I never use all my discards
banana mogs
but I haven't used it after blue stake so it might be more useful tips me
close enough, walcome buck bloodstone
my man
easy to get with high mult

Erratic deck spawn…
it's so beautiful
what's you guys favourite decks
ghost
abandoned
in wgat
spades and clubs are the only real suits because they count for blackboard
zodiac
you wanna know mine?
mag
nah
red, reject modernity embrace tradition
ghost
well in that case, the steam deck is my favorite deck as well
i love my steam deck
winmore can be fun but its a bad concept in terms of game design
Holy shit good job getting so far into the game
looks cool though
How do you unlock the steam deck?
I don’t have that one
money
its a DLC
/s
you can't
they all went out of stock
:(
it's my 5th c++ profile or of 7 so just multiply whatever stats I have by 7 or whatever
:’(
idk where this belongs to but I peaked

Thanks 🫠
does anyone know how crimson heart targeting works
or is it just straight rng
lost another plasma run to it disabling stuntman three times and brainstorm twice
rng
I think its rng but don’t know
rip
i fucking hate plasma highstake
same
balatrodle in 7
plasma deck be like stack chips just kidding after ante 7 die
bad luck with vouchers and planets also make some runs borderline unwinnable
Congrats man
2 bananas
I didn't know you could get a gros michel after one extincted
the bananas posing like db
me either
yeah
asick
hopital
:penisve:
you can't
this is only possible if you have two of them and one goes extinct
and you can find a cavendish before the other goes extinct
then what are you looking at
so if you use ankh?
ya
or anything else that does that
yup
how does a invisible negative works?
negative invis will overflow your joker slots
6/5 for example
only caveat is you cant take any negatives with 6/5 jokers
what do you mean why
it copies a joker
and it is negative
it doesnt transfer editions
includes negatuve
negative jokers add 1 joker slot, so if you try to buy another joker, your joker slots are still 6/6
i hope thats what they were asking lol
oh yeah
if they were asking why yiu cant buy negatuves its because you wouldnt have space even if you take the negative edition into consideration
NOOOOO
is negative blueprint the best negative
one time I got under a thousand off violet vessel
negative vagabond
the "best negative" would just be the best joker
why
so the best negative would be yorick
or maybe negative trading card
and yes legendarues can spawn with editions
yeah negative trading card
but blueprint can copy Yorick so wouldn't blueprint always be on par with the best?
because you dont always fucking have yorick
blueprint isnt always as good as yorick
wait fair
yorick is
but if you had Yorick wouldn't blueprint also be the best
the best joker in terms of strength*
wuh
negative half joker
hows fhat different
real talk
cuz the best joker is cav because its so common
i guess man
meeh
maybe
or rebate
but you dont isually keep rebate
which is why i say yorick
I never get cav
(to the end of the game)
cav is just the best joker overall but that doesnt mean its the best negative
people always say cav is pretty likely to show up but its rarer than rares
I feel like throwback is the best overall and that's definitely not ragebait
the vest overall joker is 8ball
i cant super react white stake >:(
not only that you said you don't like mystic summit, you also said this
nice ragebait bro
throwback and hologram is the best combo
nope
because you skip all the shops and can't buy cards
brojob forgot about burglar + yorick
wait true
be ause you can get the hook and discard a lot
add burnt joker
wait even better combo
don't you mean Yorick + burglar
.
burgar+merry andy+merry andy+merry andy+merry andy
maybe
mandy
I always put my xmult at the back of my jokers because then it can multiply my chip cards
could be an eternal rental and it’d still be giga worth
wait true
and his stupid crown
chicot bug
build towards chicot
also in reality your best joker atm is acrobat
aside from brainstorm
$100 ante 2
who actually likes Baron
please don't say brojob
why can't he say brojob
Me
but he has a stupid crown
The game will give me a exchange for killing my last run 🫠
Who cares
I don’t care about designs
mfw i played so much gold stake to the point where i no longer care about design
Ankh is so op
got holo a bit late
so didnt really get to scale it
but i got yorick in ante 1
wondering if i can win a run without jokers
i tried earlier and got to round 9
it was checkered on red so it wasn't anything serious
still impressive
F*ck
damm
jesus christ ripppp
purple stake scaling is rough
Plasma deck too
insane you got this far so ggwp
uhh
i was wondering why it said 800000
man i cashed out about 300$ in reroll, no vagabond, rare cards are rare 🥲
96 cards in deck holyyyy
I needed just 594 more points 😭
i wanna see how far i can go hehe
Btw that seed started with 2 invisible jokers
oh dammm
would've been better if i had steels but i never got chariot
i didnt see that
Ended with 2 of the every spot left + the joker is x1 mult, 2 of the spades +50 chips and a negative retro with like x4
😭
if there's a jokerless challenge what deck is it on
the deck that starts with no jokers
are you FUCKING SERIOUS
but you have 9x mult this hand you got this trust
pair bad?
zero chips
no chips joker in a pairslop run
straight pair gaming
i'm starting to see more value on chip jokers after mr bones saved me from ante 7 eye
chad
please tell me you wont pick odd todd
