Playing hands costs $1. Discarding, normally, does not cost anything. You need to prioritize discarding over hand playing for better econ unless you have very specific jokers.
Playing hands does not cost $1 in the literal sense. if you're indicating that you don't earn the $1 for NOT playing a hand once you have defeated the blind, they're not technically equivalent. Not earning does not equal spending.
Why did both aces trigger at 39:06? I assume it's a bug, right? Because the played hand is a straight (A,1,2,3,4) and the second ace isn't part of the hand in any way. It's not flush related either because there are 3 suits.
I suppose it's because the straight can be made with any of the aces and the game doesn't pick for you and just counts both of them. Theoretically you are making two straights with the other 3 cards being common to both, I believe that's the logic.
@@randmzer I expected the game to pick the left-most card in this case. I'm not sure if this is intentional. At least it's beneficial to the player, although what player would think to play one of the 4-card-straight cards twice because it would still score?
33:57 The play of getting rid of your bonus card and lowering your already low number of 5s (when you are going for a straight build and need a decent number of everything), while also wasting a tarot card that was usable in battle was definitely something that didn't make me scream...
@@manolobrinks Didn't think about superposition. Just thought about the fact that there are more straights (in general) with 5 than with 3. Even if its not a bonus card, not sure if it's worth it since there are so little 5s.
Even without superposition, it was the right play because he had so many more Aces and got bonuses from them. A 5-6-7-8-9 would be way harder to come by and be worth a hell of a lot less
They should make a joker that adds the mult from the component hands that make up a hand. For instance if you have a full house, you get the full house mult + three of a kind mult + pair mult.
Ouija can be a god dam monkeys paw. "Yea having all the same is nice" But then it really hits you that i can really limit your plays. Even more so if it rolls a god dam 2 or other very low chip card.
I wish he would do the stuff he thinks is broken, to see if it actually is. Like bro hasnt even done everything in the game and is saying stuff is too OP 😑
His disrespect for mystic summit is beyond mortal comprehension. This man literally plays the game as if discarding is losing more value than playing junk hands and it is so tilting to watch sometimes. Especially when he says he needs to build money.
@@bird6708 I feel both every time I watch nl play balatro, it's the best. Absolutely losing it seeing him make the worst possible decisions and then pogging seeing him scrape victory from the jaws of defeat? Peak content
Takes bus, doesn’t build it up. It physically hurts. I know his channel is for the banter but sometimes I wish he paid slightly more attention to the game.
"superposition is cheeks"
truer words were never spoken
God broke the mold when he created the potato, you didn't do anything
Every time NL says, “that makes sense to me”, the one thing I know for sure, it doesn’t make sense
Balatro has me so unimaginably pegged up rn dood😊

"You are using that word, but I don't think you know what it means." or whatever Inigo Montoya said.
I dont know that it means what you think it means
This was the most "he can't keep getting away with it" round I've ever seen
HE DISCARDED A STRAIGHT ON THE FINAL BOSS BRO
he needed straight flush to win, bucko@@manolobrinks
13:50 NL never had someone ask him what shape italy is in a group chat
8:30 I enjoyed swapping the 10 for an Ace because no jacks meant the 10 was the end for a straight
But somehow 2 was okay
@@Freestyle4evrbecause 2 is not the end of the straight it would be Ace.
Like ace 2 3 4 5
What gave two pair such a strangle hold over his mind.
"wintermute did you do that?"
i understood that reference :)
the most optimal run for superposition and it still only hit 4 times
nah he could have had the joker that mults every time you play a planet card
Pants - Bricked.
Shit - Shat.
Bala-Tro'd.
i'm LOVIN this series
"That's a straight flush if I've ever seen one. Ace, two, two, three, four."
When NL didn't take the Joker that works with Planet cards to give X multiplier... I fainted. Overall, still enjoyed while being unconscious!
Says he won't be buying many planets then buys every planet
15:00 Anyone ever notice how The Devil card looks like he's playing Jump Rope with his friends?
Honey wake up, new Balatro video dropped!
Ice Cream buys you a ton of time. I usually buy it if I am not ahead currently.
12:24 the nam flash backs 🫨🫨
I swear this man makes misplays for UA-cam interaction and here I am
Passing on constellation and keeping superposition... I'm tilted.
can somebody find that tweet at 15:00

32:28 wait, please help, it what world is this a straight flush???
why did he upgrade the pair instead of the flush? am I missing something?
That makes sense to me

Yeah, it's not very intuitive, but once I think about the "double-straight" it makes more sense in my head.
He did the pose
Hes back to like. Good plays. Nice.

getting rid of TWO bonus cards (in all fairness he was correct to dump the five in favour of a 1234 straight component because of superposition)

LOVE THIS GAME
i feel like the wheel of fortune is bugged, and does never work. never see it pay off so far
I play 5 of a kind, all of them ace of spades

Using it with the tarot that clones cards is a stupid easy win. Just slamming out 5 of a kinds over and over and over
Not related at all, but cute profile pic!
if you have room, always buy the egg, its free money
A shop devil card is basically only a dollar with a chance to pay out much more. worth it. just play it on something you keep right before you win.
I think in a previous video he considered buying the egg but then closed the shop saying "we'll save our money"
I wish he would do the stuff he thinks is broken, to see if it actually is. Like bro hasnt even done everything in the game and is saying stuff is too OP 😑

At 7 minutes in he literally says exactly that bus strategy, and puts down 2 pair to build it up. What the hell are you talking about
@@ahame94 He missed a million opportunities to play high card to build it up.
