I love your pacing and your patience to explain decisions, as well as your willingness to admit that some decisions are mostly based on "feel". It's clear that you have a deep understanding of the game and its nitty details. I've been grinding getting all seals on all decks and your videos have been instrumental in my steps toward being able to complete those runs. Thanks for the immense effort and the consistency in uploading. GO BULLS!

Comments like this are what keep me going! I felt we were getting a little in the weeds with the High Stakes runs. For educational purposes, I felt there could be some value going back to the beginning and breaking it all down in a more focused way.

This is an absolutely amazing tutorial. One thing I definitely suggest is watch out for tunnel-visioning on the hand that you want. There were multiple times that flushes were banked on when viable full houses were already achieved.

After seeing how much econ is worth and how much you value each single hand, I'm feeling weird that Green Joker is my favorite joker, to the point I could be dominating a run by ante 3-4 and still consider taking it just cause I love the hand played jokers. My golden stake win had square and green jokers and I kept purposefully rearranging my jokers to play as many hands as possible. This game never ceases to surprise me on how crazy it can get, while remaining both challenging, yet extremely fair. Localthunk pulled a crazy balance between randomness, skill, variety and depth.

Straights, in texas hold-em, are easier, but harder than flushes in Balatro - so while the base scoring is representative of poker hands, when upgrading hands straights are favoured. Straights need a buff I think.

My strategy is flush face card deck every single time. Usually easy enough to get your deck down to just two suits, face cards have a lot of good jokers if you're lucky. Highest score ever unseeded was a flush five king deck, all holo glass red seal cards and an ungodly amount of retriggers and some x mult jokers. Also started as a flush build.

I do like flush and to a lesser extent straight early on, but around ante 2ish I do try to move towards either strengthening the easier hands or sculpting my deck towards higher hands. I do feel like they fall off (flush more than straights imo).

I'm finding that unlocking new jokers via milestones its really dampening the experience due to a now inflated rng table. This a consisrent problem for me in most roguelikes, where the first few runs are fun but later on, it becomes unreasonably rare to come across basic drops that are necessary to survive in the first few antes.
@drspectred
5 ай бұрын
When the shop decides on what Joker to give you, it decides on a rarity first and then gives you a Joker of that rarity. Most of the unlocks are Rare or Uncommon, so this does not impact the ability to find the early game Common Jokers which help get your run off the ground. The unlockable Jokers are largely xMult Jokers, then making it easier to score more with less components.

Honestly, you get better by just playing higher stakes. Though it could be a trap since you might only play when the shops are good and leave you with very bad habits. But when you try to play it out and don't just restart every shop, you'll know what to prioritize very quick.

It's really nice to have the mathematical breakdown. I have tried to work it out on my own, but it helps hearing it in this format. Currently stuck on purple.
