to be fair, I did the exact same thing the first time I played it. As soon as I sold a joker to make room for another I realized what just happened lol
9 out of 10 negative reviews for Balatro complain about how their run was ruined by RNG or there's too much RNG. My brother in christ, what do you think the game of poker is?
humans are bad at probability/statistics, that's why most randomness in games favors the player by a large margin and are rarely truly random. people are STUPID
I run it every single time and I feel like it pops 1:8 times, because my flawed human brain doesn't really understand probability intuitively. It would be incredibly pogged if the more you played it the better the odds got, though. Wonder if there's a joker for that (not just increasing all odds flatly, but per instance)
On the off chance that NL reads these comments, Baseball card doesn't proc itself, it procs on the uncommons, so its positioning doesn't matter, which means it can be left of Swash. It also means Swash is completely worthless here, since it kind of needs to be left of all the uncommons. In short, Swash is a terrible card because it gives flat mult after xmult by necessity due to its facing.
swash gets worse the later into the game you go, unless you're cooking something really wild with increasing joker sell values (and then it can't really hold up in endless)
Have I been a Type A Chatter the whole time? cause brother you gotta move your uncommons to the end when you have baseball card; specifically putting uncommons that give the most flat mult at the beginning of your uncommons.
You may not have been this whole time, Balatro does that to people. Egg once called Six-Sided Oracles "The most Type A game of all time", and a passing fey creature took it as a challenge. Edit: For some reason I was thinking abou d8s when I first wrote this comment, and wrote "Eight-Sided Oracles"
@@sagecolvard9644 You were talking about Six Sided Oracles, right? I couldn't remember how many faces these oracles were supposed to have, either. Thought you were correct with the number of faces and just ran with it
This run shows the power of a little bit of mult combined with a lot of multipliers cause baseball + uncommons were all that were going on. Wild it made it as far as it did but was a hilarious watch
I feel like I have no idea how to play this game but I got an ante 8 clear on my first go because I had baseball card and I didn't realize how hard it was carrying me. Went endless, sold it and immediately died afterwards lmao
@@jamesmaceaveli6679 oh I'm with you there, I love Balatro. I'm just saying whenever NL gives a series a thumbnail 9/10 times he stops making videos like 3 episodes later
@SageOrion So true but I feel like NL is really enjoying Balatro and hopefully he doesn't drop it anytime soon. I'm definitely going to buy it after seeing him play and playing the demo for myself.
When you face the Psychic you just have to play 5 cards in general, they do not all have to score. So you could have played 2 pair with a 5th random card and it would have scored.
Immediately trashing and discarding 2 pair of Aces and 8’s only to draw another 2 pair aces and 8’s a hand later and play it without a thought in the world. I’m pogging
Yeah skipping blinds is great, IF you wanna beat ante 8, but getting the 0.25 mult is nowhere near worth just blindly skipping for endless mode. In fact, it seems for endless mode there's about 2 builds or so that actually get anywhere.
Seltzer is good for keeping you alive but what that means is it can accelerate you to a place you absolutely cannot survive if you don't get your feet under you while it's going
Picking up this game made me remember how garbage I am at cards. I just can’t read them quickly. Not for lack of trying either, I’ve played a ton of poker and bridge. But I’m slow as hell and I miss things.
"Remember, small blinds don't give us money." "Why did I gain so little money last round?"
two pairs of pants don't mean nothing if you ain't got a shirt is the bar of bars
this is like knish out of rounders
NL picking the deck that lets you use 6 jokers and immediately forgetting that he can
to be fair, I did the exact same thing the first time I played it. As soon as I sold a joker to make room for another I realized what just happened lol
That's our streamer baby
@@fuchsia8266 at least you realised
i did the same thing 2 blinds before the final boss when i sold a joker😂😂
Right? I've sold a negative joker on more than one occasion to "make room" only to realize... @@fuchsia8266
I love how NL succumbed to peer pressure to stop doing flush runs and just pivoted to 5-of-a-kind

If you think that's funny, you should read reviews for actual online poker sites. Anytime someone gets a bad beat the site must be rigged.
@@ziggle5000"it is always someone else's failt and not at all is my greed and impulsive idiotic behaviour at all to blame!!!"

Baseball joker puts x1.5 on the uncommon joker itself, so it hits multiple times as you go down the joker line
Yes. lmao

He's ante 14 bound with this one
"I don't know if i have the cognitive capacity to know where to place you"
Me playing Balatro.
watching all those mult multipliers before the abstract joker goes +18 was incredibly painful
Honestly you put so much faith in Wheel of Fortune, you deserve to have it pay out more often. That wheel > fool > wheel was a beautiful sight.

@@sagecolvard9644 the corruption system is fundamentally capped. How can you cap number-go-up point values in Balatro?
@@tylerphuoc2653 I don't know what this means, but I think you're agreeing with me, so:
YES! PRECISELY!
@@sagecolvard9644 You were talking about Six Sided Oracles, right? I couldn't remember how many faces these oracles were supposed to have, either. Thought you were correct with the number of faces and just ran with it
As each joker does its ability left to right, baseball hits 1.5X every time an uncommon has its turn.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Balatro deserves its own custom thumbnail
the thumbnail curse is a great way for Balatro to die

Call me Spare Trousers the way I got excited when I saw this upload and pissed my pants fr 🙇♀️❗
the trousers were incremented
You good bro? 😭
Literally just finished the last video to see this one come out pog.
15:22
Ace pair - 8 Pair in hand
Discard Aces
Use all remaining discards
16:00
Play Ace pair - 8 Pair anyway
We are pegged

literally me screaming through the phone abstract should be in the first position
2 Balatro videos back to back? Put that on my gravestone baby
7:00 I swear NL must be allergic to flushes or something
Double upload for my study sesh?? thank you NL!
I'm stating to think wheel of fortune is bugged, it popped way more in the demo
Discards aces to draw more aces 21:04
🧐
Gift Card raises its own sell value. Your Swashbucker positioning was fine.
With the square pants combo I usally buff full houses and keep 2 pair at level 1 to build. It's risky though
ah shit, here we go again!
Reading the comments makes me a type A viewer because otherwise I dont notice his mistakes
Don’t stop, I’M INCREMENTING
What a double upload, my man
I really hope the dev adds a royal straight joker to make that one demo chatter pog
Spare trousers is the best card in the game, because I often shit my pants on close flops. 👖
Immediately trashing and discarding 2 pair of Aces and 8’s only to draw another 2 pair aces and 8’s a hand later and play it without a thought in the world. I’m pogging
Baseballe Joker gives the 1.5 X Mult to the uncommon card. So the 1.5 X triggers when the uncommon triggers. Just in case no one else mentioned it
He looks so polite in the thumbnail :)
Just had a 41 billion point hand on a fun run with the spectral deck.
Lord forgive me for being Type A, but why did he buy erosion?
Yeah skipping blinds is great, IF you wanna beat ante 8, but getting the 0.25 mult is nowhere near worth just blindly skipping for endless mode. In fact, it seems for endless mode there's about 2 builds or so that actually get anywhere.

NL please don't dump your trousers
I got the gold stakes completed on the blue deck today! Very challenging 🎉
How'd he get two egg jokers at once?
NL faced with the hard decisions, multiply your 900 mult by 1.5 or take flat +11 😭😭
My man picked Erosion for nothing 💀
Baseball
Jeez NL, how come Localthunk let you have 2 jokers? (He's a Zany Egg)
Double uploads? Big dawg

Black Deck is like a Judas of Balatro? Risky early game, huge late game?
A week since the last SAP episode, what is going on?
I need my fix of SAP... 💉
This is the worst run I've ever seen to make it as far as it did
Erosion mvp lmao
9:30 threw away the royal flush
He just really doesnt value chips at all
Man is skipping those shops and cards in it, like it's a bad thing.
