Starting from nothing, we play the Red Deck on the White Stake. With an early Obelisk, we play Flushes until we transition into higher scoring Flush Variants.

Fantastic series idea. There are lots of little decision points throughout a run and in the meta game that it would be difficult to include them all in a tips and tricks style video. This format allows these teaching opportunities to come up naturally and gives us more insight into how you approach the smaller things that may not be as obvious but can still make or break a run.
Thanks!
pretty sure he could condense all of his balatro knowledge into 5 tips, i don’t know what you mean
@@Dyingwood.???
Okay, do it then
It feels a lot like how I teach best development practices in pair programming sessions - you need a well chosen starting point and then the questions will come up naturally. Loving this.
I love how in depth you go into every single hand. I usually just rush through hands but this made me realize I have a lot more to think about. Thank you!
It's a curse. I literally can't help myself
This has definitely helped my high stake runs. Finally beat gold stake last night!
IMHO, your explanation about the blue seal at 1:41:00 is worth the price of admission alone - at first glance it is so counterintuitive to put a blue seal on a card you might want to play, but you make it sound so obvious that that is EXACTLY why you put it there, because it will stay in your hand and not be cycled out!
Of course, the fact that I reached that point in the video means I was already convinced earlier that these videos are worth my time. Eagerly anticipating applying what I'm learning :)
Love this series btw, It's hilarious when you go "do I feel like x could work.... no.... but maybe yes" *does thing*
Talked myself into it. B)
Chill, analytical commentary over top level gameplay... my absolute favorite kind of content. Super glad to have found this channel :)
You did a fantastic job explaining the math and probabilities to look for when playing this game. Thank you!
Although I've been playing Balatro for more than a month, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
Amazing job, I went there because I'm struggling finishing the 2 last stacks difficulties. I'm not even done with this video and already learned a lot.
Thanks !
Really well explained, really enjoyable to watch and learn. Thanks.
Learning a lot in one video. Thanks prof Balatro!
Came here from the infinite point video with Skootie, looking forward to learning more about Balatro!
You're accepted! Welcome to BU
Watching these videos?
Yes. I think that's something I'm interested in.
Welcome to the team!
the way you explain things makes so much sense. you did an amazing job with the educational content. Im not even good at math hahaha
This is exactly the type of content I love, thank you so much for starting this series 🙏🙏🙏
Love this to help unpack such a deceptively deep game
Yes, I love this video series idea. I have been having problems beating the black deck so looking to jump ahead or just need to slow down and make money.
You've been accepted! Welcome to BU
Quickly becoming one of my favorite…balatrotubers?
Wow, you’re good… just got the game and got hooked, you just gave 2 hours of good tips and great playing, keep it on man 👌🏻
You're accepted! Welcome to BU
Love the content man. Keep it up. DO NOT STOP.
Thanks!
Awesome video - thanks!
Very enjoyable I’ve been looking more more math minded play through keep it up
Great content, plan on watching through the entire series. One quick, dumb question. (Sorry if the answer is in the video, at 2.5 hours I'm having to watch in pieces and maybe a part didn't get fully absorbed.) So, at 1:47:48 a planet card is bought and held onto in the consumable slots, which I understand is to prevent a repeat of that card showing up. But my question is, why was the "World" card bought and immediately sold before buying the planet card? Did the act of simply having it for a moment prevent a repeat from showing after the reroll, even though it was no longer in either shop's nor player's inventory? Or was there some other reason that made the net loss of $2 worth it?
Nope! Just a misplay. Picked it up, realized I didn't want the World, and then sold it for the one I actually wanted.
Relevant: When holding "bad" cards to block duplicates, most of the time it's more effective to hold Planets than Tarot because there are more Tarot than Planets. The different between 3 in 9 vs 3 in 7 (opening a Celestial Pack holding two Planets) is much bigger than than the difference between 3 in 22 vs 3 in 20 (opening an Arcana Pack holding two Tarot).
Generally, when you're at the point of being able to reroll 3 or 4 times per shop, then you hold "bad" Planets when there are Celestial Packs. When there are Arcana Packs instead, you hold "good" Tarot because you have the opportunity to use them when the Arcana Pack is "opened."
Two and a half hours for one deck. And they're all basically this long. I didn't realize I'd need to jump back into college in order to learn how to beat the easiest game mode on Balatro.
I don't know if I can watch this. This is daunting af. I was directed here from reddit because I'm having trouble, but holy shit. Maybe I'll just quit the game.
Amazing work! Why didn't you pick the other card in the first spectral pack?
Also, I've got so much knowledge about the game by watching this. OMG! The hidden mechanic that activates the flush +multi when you played the 4 of a kind + extra heart card is insane!!
Also the remark about castle selecting the suite based on your deck cards.
Dude, thank you so much for this content!!
Enjoyable watch thanks :D
I personally don't think Obelisk is worth it; to play for 4 or 5 antes with one setup to build an inflated most played hand and then switch up completely is really risky.
My luck with the shop is bad enough as it is.
It's a little risky, and it's not really my favorite either, but it can have a huge payoff. I typically have one Joker slot dedicated to income/value anyway, so I think of Obelisk as being a long term investment like Egg. We only got up to x4-ish here because we didn't need the extra points, but this same run could have gotten it to over x10 with a simple change: playing High Card, Pair, and Two Pair in Antes 7 and 8 just to build it up.
Great video! I cringed a bit when i saw you send that straight flush with the full consumables and seance. But didn't matter, well done. Definitely changed my mind about how realistic it is to go for straight flush though. I'll have to keep that in mind!
Great content. Really love this game. Was wondering, what would count as your most played hand if you have for example #5 played Flush and 5# played Three of a Kind. A) Would both poker hands be counted if one is played ? B) One poker hand is randomly chosen as the most played hand? C) By playing for example another Flush, Flush now becomes the most played hand with 6# ? I am assuming C) happens and when you play Flush and Three of a KInd at the same time it triggers twice.
Obelisk doesn't technically care what your most played hand actually is. It resets when one of your hands goes above the others. In your example, you can think of Flush and Three of a Kind being tied for most, and a reset will happen if you play either.
Telescope, however, can only give you the Planet for one "most played" hand. In the case of a tie, it will give you the higher ranking one. In the Sept demo, we were often getting into the situation of playing multiple hand types each round, exactly one time each (but still getting the Flush House planet card from Telescope).
I noticed +mult jokers have 3 liliripes (points on their hat), and +chip jokers have 2
Except for Even Steven and Odd Todd. Steven has 2 and Todd has 1, but Steven being red and Todd being blue lets you know which one is mult and chips, respectively
You are the GOAT
You probably don't know who The Eagles are, and you probably don't know their song "Desperado", but you accidentally did a run themed around that song. When you played that hand of 5 Queens of Hearts, that's a Balatro hand I like to call a “Desperado”.
"Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet"
5 Queens of Diamonds is what I like to call an “Anti-Desperado”.
That's awesome! I had no idea
Hell yea brother I love watching you cook up crazy runs in the lab
This is giving, 2010 issac video vibes 😂
6 months later and im watching
holy smokes. this sure was helpful
Love to hear it.
I am here to learn new stuff cause I sure lack some more subtlety like shifting to other hands. Therefore I was completely undermining the Obelisk's ominous scaling power. Although it's still a huge investment for a essentially dead joker slot and a money hole in the beginning.
I am often sticking to 1 thing, I am not really in an adaptable mindset with balatro and the overwhelming RNG. I cry when a boss is just reducing my betting investment of a build in a pile of ash (selling all jokers to make an ante 1 polychrome Ancient Joker then I bought Dusk and never had to do anything else than playing the suit asked as a last hand only to encounter the boss that says only 1 hand type).
Does the Castle and other random pick in deck Joker (I know Ancient doesn't work that way) includes wild for suits? Let's say you don't have Clubs anymore but a wild Diamond, can the Castle pick a Club? Or is the Blackboard giving the x3? I never encountered the possibility because I don't often use wild tarot card.
I know I'm 5 months late, and maybe I might have missed it, but I noticed your diamonds and clubs are differently coloured? I've been looking for something like this for a while cause it gets hard to differentiate the suits from each other sometimes.

Great video, thanks :D
Do you have a background in math or statistics or something like that? Your numbers game is at a whole other level
Actual doctor, math PhD
sorry for being nosy, whats your field? oh and thanks for these videos, theyre sucha bless and really useful, thanks for making these @drspectred
Wish I could understand this, but lack of subtitles make it difficult. Ah well, hope this series goes well!!
TH-cam has auto-closed captions you can turn on. His speaking mannerisms seem to be well understood by the subtitle bot, and it looks accurate to me from watching with subtitles on for about 5 minutes.
27:30 i don't understand the logic of not playing the high card to maybe get an ace. High card would not be your highest played hand so it would proc the obelisk, it would be exactly the same now as later while actually giving you an advantage in the early game, or am I missing something?
16:19 did the slave give it another shot🗿
D6 tag is always worse in isolation I think. It lets you reroll the cards in the next shop, but you could see the same amount of cards by simply playing the blind and visiting its shop as well as the shop after it. Ignoring any synergies with skipping blinds, d6 tag is objectively never worthwhile.
It's in sad shape. Hoping for a rework in the future.
+2 mult per reroll joker, “objectively never worthwhile” only a sith deals on absolutes
It’s there a difficulty modifier that effects re roll cost 🤔
I don't rerally get the point at 48:03
What is it mean? How the scale of difficulty works and why taking tag is making game more difficult?
Or this whole speech was about stacking more flushes?
nah, now i undestand.
16:20 That sound shocked me xD
OH, my bad, homie. That was a glass I had on my deck, I think? I, uhhh, do these all in one take, without any editing.
why did you buy and sell the world at 1:47:48?
would you be able to take key points and make them youtube shorts for ppl that don’t have hours on end to learn balatro
I feel a lot of people would benefit from that, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.
OH! GothicLordUK has some shortform tutorial stuff. Check him out; he's way more chill than me
Is it a PC only mod that makes the clubs and diamonds a different color? I could really use that!
Nvm I found it lol
Opened a Celestial Pack today and got 3xNeptune.
you probably had the joker that lets you get duplicates
There were at least three times where your wild card queen could have gotten you a royal flush on your first hand but you tossed it. Why?
I'm just blind probably. Most likely scenario tbh.
i've been trying to win a single game for 6 hours straight i tried everything and i keep losing any tips?
Flush
I cannot get past ante 7 man 😢😩
