I feel like Tom has mastered the art of attracting players through bungles and bad plays. More so than the mobile app advertisers could dream of achieving
This build got *_CRAZY_* in ways I never expected given how it started out. Those Jokers, man… such power, but makes for some scary RNG against the Crimson Heart boss.
Imo the ante 8 boss is pretty easy to beat- you should see some of the builds that make it to ante 11/12 on endless. Was a great game but can't see our boy ever reaching the millions.
8:28 Loved the video! Pretty sure if Tom had positioned the blueprint joker in front of the half joker then he would’ve got a 20 x 20 multiplier and this build would be even more chaotic!
4:20 (lol) - Wow, I did not realize that there are different ways to apply multi modifiers. This adds a completely new layer to an already complex game. loving this
Navigating this game from vibes alone is commendable, you've got da blessin' of da boyz Tom! Fun video as always, looking forward to more Balatro nonsense
Important thing to note, you can move blueprint around and put it on other cards before starting the bet/playing your hand, so for example here Tom could've put the blueprint on something else while hoodie joker isn't active
Me when Tom turned the six of spades into a stone card: Oh that's really good when you're playing pairs and high cards a lot! Me when Tom immediately turned the stone card to steel: 🤦♀
I must thank Tom for introducing Balatro one to me - I picked it up as soon as it was officially released and I'm addicted to it now too! :) Today I managed to get up to the last boss (Crimson Heart for me too) for the first time by way of an awesome joker combination (Constellation, Fibonnaci, Even Steven, Scary Face, and Splash) but of course CH disables a random joker in each hand and disabling Constellation was crippling for me because I had amassed a x4.2 multiplier on that one and without it I couldn't just get enough points. Splash is a great Joker too because it means that every card you play will score (so you can put extra cards in the hand). Great fun though!
That deck probably wouldn’t go anywhere in endless mode without finding some very lucky new jokers very quickly, but it was pretty damn effective at getting to ante 8!
He in fact did mess it up. He could have been playing 3 cards every turn and it would still be a "high card" hand only with more base points to be multiplied.
I would like to make a request, for the Poker Bros: I want you to play Balatro with Pyrion sitting over your shoulder trying to backseat game you the whole time
Personally I find making everything 1 or 2 suits is an INSANELY good way to play Balatro, I've really only lost 3 games of my 20 so far and I've even done Green Stakes now. Flush Five was insane when I got it with Polychrome Queens.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it have been better if Tom used that Joker duplicate on the x20 Joker instead? I'm not entirely sure on how the rules work, but if I'm not mistaken, that would give a x20 on top of a x20 (x400), instead of a x3 on top of a x3 (x9), no?
@@LastielionI see. Thanks for clearing that up. And from what I gather, the Joker bonuses go left-to-right, so in this case it would go +20 -> x3 -> x3, so 180, right? Whereas if the +20 was duped, it would be +20 -> +20 -> x3, so 120 (ignoring all other bonuses). Am I understanding that correctly now?
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1546 OOO fantastic to see more of this game, and with the full version now that it's out :D hazzah. Do very much enjoy this game, such a fun idea and execution, I do hope we do get more :D Well, you know things were going to go south when Tom ushers "Thats' not the end of the world" XD ha ha
Tom: Let’s fish for a full house…
Ignoring the full house he already has. Classic!
I had forgotten that Tom plays cards like he's on acid. Wild incoherent plays. More please!
Wouldn't be a tom video of he didnt bungle the very first hand
Not even 45 seconds in and Tom completely misses a Full House
There’s no way he could miss it on the first hand - turns out, he can
This is like his nightmare game
it was strategic, he was holding out for an ace hand to follow up, i think? i hope?
I was going to comment the same thing. I love watching Tom's videos, but sometimes it's a real test of patience, y kno?
The Full House would've instantly won the match...
Sorry to burst your bubble :)@@KanadasKid
*You must play a hand of 5 cards*
Tom: "I'm not paid to read"
Voucher "does nothing"
Tom: I'll take it
Voucher: does nothing
Tom: Surprised Pikachu
apparently if you buy enough of the Blank Vouchers over several games they actually do something!
You gotta buy 10 to get a new voucher
I feel like Tom has mastered the art of attracting players through bungles and bad plays. More so than the mobile app advertisers could dream of achieving
Found Balatro from watching Tom's video of the demo and I'm hooked! Great to see more of it!
Really goes to show how deep this game is if you can do a high card strat in poker
This game is honestly so fun to watch

The good ol' power of blueprint
I have been absolutely addicted to this game, both playing it and watching. Love it if you played more!
8:28 Loved the video! Pretty sure if Tom had positioned the blueprint joker in front of the half joker then he would’ve got a 20 x 20 multiplier and this build would be even more chaotic!
Half joker gives +20, not x20
He would get +40 mult instead of multiplying whatever he had by 9, which is way stronger

Old Tom in full version Balatro?! Been waiting for this video all week!!
Toms aversion to full houses is astounding
Thanks for introducing this to me Tom, I was hooked from the first video and bought it on launch!
Navigating this game from vibes alone is commendable, you've got da blessin' of da boyz Tom! Fun video as always, looking forward to more Balatro nonsense
Woo, Balatro! I've played a stupid amount of this game. Its highly addicting.
Important thing to note, you can move blueprint around and put it on other cards before starting the bet/playing your hand, so for example here Tom could've put the blueprint on something else while hoodie joker isn't active
Me when Tom turned the six of spades into a stone card: Oh that's really good when you're playing pairs and high cards a lot!
Me when Tom immediately turned the stone card to steel: 🤦♀
A seperate steel card is also very good for his build that doesn't need much hand space
You know its gonna be a good video when Tom misplays the first hand
I must thank Tom for introducing Balatro one to me - I picked it up as soon as it was officially released and I'm addicted to it now too! :)

Shout out to the editor
That deck probably wouldn’t go anywhere in endless mode without finding some very lucky new jokers very quickly, but it was pretty damn effective at getting to ante 8!
Would love more of this
The high card build may be the only build Tom can't possibly mess up. Literally just play your highest card every time and win
He in fact did mess it up. He could have been playing 3 cards every turn and it would still be a "high card" hand only with more base points to be multiplied.
They DEFINITELY pay him to lead, not to read.
Don't ever change, Tom.
I swear, between the first hand and the first hand vs The Psychic, Tom must play games with a blindfold on XD
I would like to make a request, for the Poker Bros: I want you to play Balatro with Pyrion sitting over your shoulder trying to backseat game you the whole time
pro tip: that seltzer joker is pretty much an instant win: double-triggers all other jokers for 10 hands!
Impressive run. Love that game. Bought immediately!
First hand of the game, and Tom already missed a fullhouse!
Anyone else have those meme style video edits like that full house bit? Just so jarring and interrupts the natural flow if Toms meanderings
Personally I find making everything 1 or 2 suits is an INSANELY good way to play Balatro, I've really only lost 3 games of my 20 so far and I've even done Green Stakes now.
Flush Five was insane when I got it with Polychrome Queens.
! I would love to see more balatro with tom!!!
This is the weirdest poker game I've ever seen. Well played.
Wow the first full house biffaroony didn't even prepare me for the rest of the misplays tbh
When I go to a poker table and say "Can I discard these two? They're not great right now.", everyone is going to look at me with disgust
Mandatory Algorithmic Comment Because We Love Tom and the Editing xx
can't wait to see more, one day you're going to break a million!
Misses a full house on the first hand and a Ace high flush 😂😭
keep buying the blank voucher! there's an unlock once you do it ten times
Wouldn’t it be a higher multiplier if he had the Joker card copy the x20?
The Half Joker is +20 mult, not x20
@@malonetv721 Oh that makes so much more sense! Thank you ☺️
As a poker dealer I could only make it like a min in love you Tom lol
A Tom proof strategy: click one card
It's amazing how much better he'd do if he paid any attention
Did I miss the memo on cities skylines? Is that series over?
Btw Tom you’re the best.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it have been better if Tom used that Joker duplicate on the x20 Joker instead? I'm not entirely sure on how the rules work, but if I'm not mistaken, that would give a x20 on top of a x20 (x400), instead of a x3 on top of a x3 (x9), no?
thats what i thought also. hope someone has an asnswer
You are mistaken, but only because it is +20. Tom was excited because most of the jokers give a + multiplier bonus, and the x3 has x multiplier bonus.
@@LastielionI see. Thanks for clearing that up. And from what I gather, the Joker bonuses go left-to-right, so in this case it would go +20 -> x3 -> x3, so 180, right?

@@ucheehQ Because it seems noone else answered; Yes, you got it.
Time to Duel!
Tom stacking mult buffs while ignoring the joker which would give him ~100 chips per hand (to then be multiplied) 👌
its all in the heart of the cards yugi
This game would be so good on iOS
I love this game but the RNG can be brutal. I made a deck all DIAMINDS and flushes were hitting x4000 Mult. BOSS THEN DEBUFFS ALL ♦️
this game is like crack
Converts a card to Stone. One sec later converts the same card to Steel, losing the Stone. So many misplays I could not finish watching the video.
Holy shit, they made poker 2
The screenshake is a bit dizzying
I have watched several of these videos now, and still have no idea whats going on 😅
I'll probably buy this when it's on sale. Or lowers in price. got burned out on demo real quick.
I'm 12 hours and counting.
I live here now.
The jokers, they won't stop laughing.
Bam everybody
this game is the tits, big recommend
11:00 "now we can try" Tom plays one hand - video skips...
adhd tom strikes again
Hopefully this game will force you to learn poker
This game is great. Misplay simulator!
Love you boy, to focused on the game to see a full house, to focused on the edit to see it either.
The beginning of this was infuriating, and you fucking did it on purpose.
Dumb name, amazing game
