Tainted Joker
bad art and bad resolution but i hope someone will like the idea
Favorite Joker that isn't a popular choice?
Instead of stuff like Baron, Blueprint, etc. I like Hologram because it's actually surprisingly good and makes standard packs worth it for me!

My first ever Naneinf! 58hrs in the game
Black Deck Apology
I’ve played the game for a while now, across all platforms I’m nearing 1000hrs. I initially just played casually, jumped around decks, tried harder stakes every once in a while, but mostly just played the game.
Then it hit me: I realized I didn’t have a decent amount of jokers because I wasn’t doing challenges, so I did them. Then I started chipping at Steam achievements while trying to gold stake every deck, starting at red, and going down the line.
I’m now on black. I thought everyone complaining that black deck sucks was just a baby. Now I’m in the middle of stakes and I want the sweet release of death.
With that, I’m sorry for silently judging so many of you as I am now what I judged.

Trying to pitch Balatro to a professional poker player
Hey guys, I’m a stand-up comedian and Balatro addict (91% to C++). I recently appeared on a comedy poker show called The Fold alongside three-time WSOP bracelet winner and YouTube poker personality Doug Polk. I was trying to spread the good word of Jimbo and did a pretty bad job explaining the game. I will continue to bug Doug to play it on stream just out of my own personal desire to watch a poker pro play the game for the first time. I will report back with any updates.

PUZZLE: Can you figure out what all 6 Jokers in this video are?
Ah yes, that's a hand
Was just playing and got these jokers, also why is the phrase "straight flush" banned in the title? I just tried to say "ah yes, that's a straight flush".
Help getting to ante 12
​
Checkered deck with flush upgraded to 440x58
-hanging chad is +10
-wrathful is wrathful
-supernova is + mid 40's I think? I hate that I can't know
-Juggler is +10 and obviously giving me an extra hand so not sure I should give that up
-Jolly is +8 and x1.5
Hologram is negative and x5.75
I've never made it through ante 12 and hoping to do so here. I started playing this last night and was several vodkas deep but I'm pretty sure one HAND got me 12 million. Also pretty sure I had a couple steel cards in hand with a glass scoring first but of course I can't expect that to happen again. Sell wrathful and have blueprint copy Hologram? Sell chad and do the same? I will post my full deck below as I apparently can't post 2 pics here. Thank you for your help.
One of my friends first time playing
They’ve gotten 4 invisible jokers, life is a lie.
Just beat gold stake checkered deck with this abomination
First 3 are foil, then pants are holographic and abstract is polychrome.
Now what?
A couple years ago I found Balatro. Instantly fell in love. Hooked. Addicted. Had me by the cojones. Dumped a ton of time into it, decided I wanted to 100%.
Got a little burnt out because that grind was a bit ridiculous, but still found joy in popping it open a few times a week as I went for all of the gold stickers.
Eventually did it- 100%.
This was probably the best game I’ve ever played, but it’s done. Finished it 6 months ago. Been struggling to find another game worth playing. Getting older with less time to play games. Liked the semi-idle aspect. Achievement difficulty was perfect. Loop had just enough variety. I probably don’t have to explain all of that to y’all- you know.
But, now what? What are your favorite non-Balatro games?
