Seeking Run Advice Has anyone here beaten Gold Stake with the Checkered Deck?

I haven't gotten any luck so far. Not sure if my luck is just that bad or if I don’t know how to consistently win a run, if that's even possible.

Can can’t get above $0! But my run is going great. And it got me thinking. What’s the most minus money anyone has got to?

Question Gold Sticker on last Legendary Joker

0 Upvotes

I have 36 jokers left to get. One joker is one of the legendary jokers (the one where kings and queens are 2×). Ive got gold on the other 4. Am i guranteed to get that one every time? Ive had three in a row which have been the one i want, so im guessing it is. Chatbot tells me theres a mechanic which gurantees it, but im dubious.

I also equip Garbshit mod, Peakshit mod and others. No cryptid yet. The Altered music boss blind joker is kinda cool honestly.

Question Please explain

I've been playing poker for over 30 yrs, have prob around 200 hrs in balatro, and this hand just broke my brain....the only explanation I can come up with, is that since i can make the hand contain both a straight and a flush, even though the cards dont stretch and they are two completely separate hands, it's registering the straight flush. I've played thousands of hands in this game and just happened to accidentally click the king to see the straight flush pop up, otherwise I still would've never known this was a thing.... I had to check several times to make sure i didnt have the shortcut joker because that was my initial thought. Am I correct in my assumption? Also, are there any other instances like this where this can happen, or is this strictly a flush/straight special situation because of the four fingers? Appreciate any input 🍻

Gameplay Discussion Xbox version - please give us an extra life or something

0 Upvotes

OK, before I begin, I'm a long time player of this game and I love it. I've got the Completionist+ achievement (albeit after 400+ hours) so I know what I'm doing. No expert by any means, but yeah.

Right now, I have one challenge left to complete them. Golden needle. And for the first time ever, I got to ante 7 on a 3oak build, and I was looking good. But then, what did I do?

Hit square instead of triangle. Played, instead of discarding.

OMFG. Why does 1 single button slip, have no mercy?!

Please.. please allow us to replay a hand when beaten on challenge mode.

Sorry. This is a rant into the void. But jesus h. I actually feel sick.

Am I right in saying that PC players have a way to replay a hand that xbox players don't? Unfair.

Apologies if this has been posted before or if I’m being an idiot but why am I not getting C+ for having got a gold stake win on every deck on iOS version?

I know the egg is not the smartest play(especially grabbing it before Swashbuckler was on board), but my faith in it did brought me the Temperance that allowed me to open the Arcana Pack where CHIGOAT shows up and saved me from The Eye, which definitely would’ve ended my run. And now onto the rest of the challenges before C++.

Needed a gold sticker on one joker. Can you guess which one? It’s not any of the jokers in this video I just had to win a run for the trophy to pop. But I finally did it after months of trying and failing.

Gameplay Discussion name your dream 5 joker line up

12 Upvotes

any deck, any stake, and it’s what’s present on your board when you clear ante 8. you can name honorable mentions if there are dream early jokers that you’d sell before getting to the end (like a $21 egg) as part of setting up your dream board
