      My guy hates the PC. He’s fine if I game on the sofa where he can chill next to me. But the PC he will lose it if I get in there too early in the evening. He will even bark at me to come play. And he gets a good 2 hours a day of walking, dog park and fetch.
      He is small so sometimes I put his little bed on the desk next to the monitor and he will chill.
      He also hates me looking at my phone if we are playing a game like fetch.

    I have to give an update! Thanks so much for the advice, I've won 2 games already and I had lost tons before watching this vid. My best game so far is red deck base difficulty and my jokers in order from left to right were Hologram x3 75 multi, a polychrome Blueprint, Baseball Card, a polychrome Burglar, Four Fingers, and finally a negative Splash. Also I had several hands leveled up the highest being my Flush and Full House at level 7 each. Lol I decimated the final Ante 8 boss Violet Vessel very large blind. 😅 I know I still have lots more to learn and unlock but it's nice to finally start winning!! Super addicting and fun! Thanks again for helping me to start to learn and understand the game!! 👍🃏

  • @Randomyoutuber-4831
    @Randomyoutuber-4831 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    This video pointed out what I've been doing wrong for the last few runs: I've been too stingy with my discards, trying to go for multiple hands at once as a safety net when a 'high risk/high reward' approach tends to get better results where I commit entirely to one hand.

  • @DIAT0NIX_16

  • @BeepyDev

    An additional (nitpicky) tip for 19:30!
    You're going to get free mult for every hand that's not of your most-played type (Obelisk)... so rather than winning the round in one shot with fibonnaci 2-pair, you could have played some low-scoring high-card hands first. Your econ was just fine at this stage of the game, so at this point a few less dollars for free mult is amazing.
    That being said, I've beaten the game a bunch but I'm only up to stake 3 for each of my unlocked decks.
    I learned a ton by watching your playstyle. Thank you very much for this vid!

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @MisterVercetti
    @MisterVercetti 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    12:00 Another benefit to that particular tag with your setup is that, if you got two Jokers you didn't particularly want, you could sell them and not only get a bit of extra cash, but also power up your Campfire for the boss. It's a nice example of Tag/Joker synergy that I think a lot of people tend to sleep on at times.

    When you get obelisk later in the run, it might be good to keep pushing your most played hand until you’re having a tough time winning without obelisk. That way you build a long runway of multmults to use later on

    • @Droid6689
      @Droid6689 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You might need to get some unlocks and decks first. I find the yellow deck to be one of the best and most resilient.
      Just focus on your boss blinds each ante. If you build a deck to beat your ante you will get to the next one.
      A good tip is that you don't always want to use a tarot card right away. A suit or enhancement tarot in your pocket can let you beat a boss blind when you might have not drawn the card if you used it before the match.
      Edit: For example, on the hardest difficulty I just bought a spade tarot going into the big blind that halved base chips/mult. I lucked into a full house opener that would've been x4 halved to x2. I used the tarot to make it a flush house which was x14 halved to x7. With my jokers, that let me beat the boss in one hand with zero discards when otherwise I might have lost

    Great video! It helps to know what to focus on and work towards early, which is where I find a lot of issues! How effective are planet cards? If I have a lot of money generation is it worth picking a few up every shop if I can, or should I focus on buying better Jokers to get better scoring cards?

  • @patweed2909
    @patweed2909 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Good video.
    Do you generally just only buy the super strong jokers? I usually try to fill out my row immediately with good/decent ones and will just sell once i find better ones. Or is that just because you found a mult so early? Or do you just find it more efficient to save the money?

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Tough question to answer as it differs. I normally add as much mult/chips early as I need to get past Ante 3, and then save, only adding good jokers or jokers that align with the style of play/deck that I seem to be going.
      However, this changes depending on the stake/my economy, as well as if I had to spend big on an amazing joker in the shop or not.

  • @jarzz3601

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think just about every run at lower stakes is winnable if you replay the seed. However, I am not sure at high stakes. This question is a bit over my head and for the true hardcore gamers in the Discord/Reddit.

    I do like the tips you give. I've only won one game so far (how I did, idk) but I'd really like to know how and why people swap the placements of the jokers around. Was hoping you'd get into it here but unfortunately not. I don't really exactly understand why certain placements are better than others. Would be nice if you'd make a video or could explain with which order the Jokers should be to get out as much multipliers as possible :)

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'll absolutely make a video about this, thanks for the comment. For the time being the quick idea is to place your +mult before you xmult the reason is: (2+2)x4 = 16; however, if I multiplied first it would be 2*4+2=10

    That was an incredibly lucky run. I’ve played dozens of runs so far and most of the time I don’t even see a joker that adds mult in the first two antes. I can usually brute force the first ante with no jokers but it’s nearly impossible to get past the second ante.

I've mostly been only playing with the yellow deck because I wanted to unlock the ghost deck just because it sounds cool lol I have no idea what benefits if any apply to it. But yea... Wtf does planet x do? And I've yet to see fibonacci yet I hear everybody reference it. Weird

    I had about 6-7 hours in Balatro before watching this video and hadn't yet won a run and was getting a little frustrated. I was pretty consistently getting to ante 6+ through okayish fundamentals but runs never really panned out. After watching this, things finally clicked into place and I pretty handily won the first run I played. Perhaps it would be a little bit too much hand holding but I feel like the tutorial should take the time to make note of the differences between additive MULT and multiplicative MULT.

      The minus 1 hand size also means you get a dollar less per round which hurts your economy, if it was ante 1, that's $15-24 you miss out on plus the $10 it costs, for three more shops. I just don't think its worth.

      It really depends, I think they are at lower stakes, especially if you have a hand in mind. In general getting base mult and chips added for your go-to hand is a good idea. However, the packs are not auto-picks for me and I'm not grabbing any for hands I don't play.
