Balatro Hold Em

@void barn

[half schooner]

Whats that

[unique falcon]

Texas Hold Em but balatro

tarots seem unbalanced

[void barn]

6 standard decks (2-A of s,d,h,c), and 18 normal jokers (normal jokers as in wild cards)

[unique falcon]

like just hanging the river

[void barn]

use this deck like normal texas hold em

winner is decided by score in balatro

aka KK33 = 36x2 = 72
vs JJJ = 60x3 = 180

[unique falcon]

why wild cards

[half schooner]

So how would two equal high cards be decided

Suit?

[void barn]

split pot

[unique falcon]

split the pot

[half schooner]

Oh

[void barn]

fair point lol

[unique falcon]

maybe each player gets 1 of the 150 jokers (jokers that don't effect hand ranking excluded)

[void barn]

yeah i was gonna say that

like

[half schooner]

Some jokers just wouldnt help

[void barn]

create 150 card deck of every joker in balatro (minus the ones that rely on hands and discards, like green joker)

[half schooner]

And some would be crazy good

[unique falcon]

yeah, and?

[half schooner]

Like if you somehow topdeck a high straight and triboulet free w

[unique falcon]

not everyone will have an eually good hand

[half schooner]

It needs to be balanced to some level

[void barn]

too bad!

[unique falcon]

thats how the game works

and jokers that rely on ther jokers also excluded

[void barn]

how do you beat pocket aces and an ace on the flop? idk man figure it out good luck

[unique falcon]

when the whole board is aces of spades

[rich forge]

the issue is that bluffing and betting literally wouldn't exist in this mod, because chips aren't something that you have, they're something that you score
so you can't bluff by making a super high bet and forcing everyone else to fold, because that's literally not how the game, like, works

[unique falcon]

for tarot cards im thinking they are small form buttons.

[unique falcon]

thats not how we are interpreting

[void barn]

this isnt a mod

[unique falcon]

you have chips to bet and a score at showdown

[void barn]

yeh

[rich forge]

I mean like, a theoretical mod
you get what I mean, this concept

[half schooner]

Mod means modification so technically

Or modifier or whatever

[unique falcon]

different color for each player you put them on the community cards or your hole cards to signify how you are using your tarots

although these seem impractical to deal out

[void barn]

i was gonna say what if you made the celestials akin to jokers, mixing and them in with the jokers and having them act like jokers

[unique falcon]

maybe just debuff all the tarots to work on only 1 card

and they are like cut outs with the middle section empty, one side has the name and number (roman numerals) and the other side has no info

eh still issues if multiple player strying to signify using taorts on the same card

[void barn]

just makes them cards and have them be thrown in/onto the card if you use them

like “i hanged man the river” throws in the card and the river gets removed

[unique falcon]

seems reasonable

and people use their tarots/spectrals/planets from left of the dealer around

just to maintain order

and a d4 is required for glass cards

but honestly thats not really fair for someone-say to the right of the dealer.

now is that just a thing we can say "Too Bad!" to

[void barn]

wdym

[unique falcon]

the last player to use their tarots and stuff has a higher chance to have missing cards cuz of glas cards or hanged man

BUT they would aslo have higher chances for enhanced cards so, ig it's fair

cards "held in hand" are the 2 cards left unused

k imma compire a list of jokers

oh and you can but out less than 5 cards for this

when comparing kickers the presense of a kicker beats the lack of a kicker

[unique falcon]

nvm that wouldn't even happen

(?) means their inclusion is debatable.

[unique falcon]

consumables too

generated cards go to the Community Cards

and ig The Fool should be a maybe
