    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.

    • @KashMoneyKale
      @KashMoneyKale 10 місяців тому

      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.

  • @PlaylistsTrance
    @PlaylistsTrance 10 місяців тому +1

    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.

    • @randmzer
      @randmzer 10 місяців тому +5

      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.

    • @PlaylistsTrance
      @PlaylistsTrance 10 місяців тому +1

      @@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...

      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

    @Aperson156 10 місяців тому +2

    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.
