I beat purple stake and even got to ante 11 but I still haven’t unlocked orange stake even after refreshing the game

#

Could it have been a seeded run? I remember a similar thing happened to me once

teal socket
#

Nope

steel blaze
#

Huh, idk why then

teal socket
#

It would say seed I believe

It’s possible that this falls under known bug reports:

‘Player stats not updating.’
Looks like you’re out of luck. Can continue trying if you want, or just wait for a fix. The latter would take much longer though, as the update got delayed

Bruh

Yeah it’s sad

#

It’s gonna be in 2026 unfortunately

#

I’m so bad at balatro and I got that run after like 1k attempts

abstract palm
#

Hm

#

Tell me, how do you usually play your runs?

teal socket
#

Usually for flushes with most of my cards being face cards and I use the retrigger first card 2x times with red stamp and with mult and the rest of my jokers are 1 +chips and 3x mult

abstract palm
#

‘Usually with flushes’ this is probably why your runs keep falling short

teal socket
#

What hands should be doing

#

Because at like ante 6 I start doing flush house

abstract palm
#

Any depending on the run but typically flushes are one of the weakest at higher stakes:

  • Low scaling
  • Low discards make them harder to find, compounds low scaling
abstract palm
#

And I’m assuming the runs die if u don’t draw into it

teal socket
#

No

#

My entire deck is usually all clubs

abstract palm
#

It sounds like, for a lot of runs, you’re forcing into a flush retrigger build

#

Forcing builds does tend to struggle

teal socket
#

If I can’t get a flush run going before ante 4 I sometimes just reset

abstract palm
#

Yeah that’s a bad habit

#

Ima be blunt

teal socket
#

Should I always play out runs?

abstract palm
#

Funnily enough, atleast imo, the best hands at gold stake are pairs, HC, and 3oak
If you can deckfix well enough then 5oak, 4oak, flush five

abstract palm
#

I’ll be honest I used to reset a lot

#

But you should try be more flexible in ur runs

teal socket
#

Ok

#

I’ll try when I wake up since it’s 1am for me and I have a shift at 7am

abstract palm
#

Same

#

Night
