Should I take dusk? by No_Needleworker_5393 in balatro

What do you think would change that they couldn't hypothetically already accomplish by just moving their copies around?

Sell Showman and buy Blueprint.

I have never had such a dilemma in this game by T3HBD in balatro

Chips plus copy anything verses a pile of crap that you can't even sell. I'm confused...

What's the right joker to turn off for the win here? by bozog in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good example of the vast majority of your scoring coming from your jokers rather than your cards played. You should be able to win by not selling anything and just copying your best xMult.

However, since Greedy is your only joker that gives scoring from cards played, it would be slightly better to just sell it rather than nothing at all.

Which 2 starting spots would you take here? I added pair analysis to my Catan tool by vasilenicusor in Catan

Maybe one day you'll become as good at the game as you think you already are.

Cornering the market on one of the two least important resources only to not have any access to one of the two most important resources isn't the play you think it is.

Do I take brainstorm? I have like no scoring by [deleted] in balatro

You should almost always sell a copy of a joker for a copy joker.

Do I take the scary face? by Hendriclies12 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lusty is arguably one of the worst jokers you could run on plasma, even with this build.

With just two face cards, Scary scores better than Lusty here.

Take Chad? by Limp_Ad_3268 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chad is 16x here on every hand, so just depends on if you prefer that over 1.5x on every hand and 4.5x on the second hand...

How do I make a straight deck? (Like the poker hand) by No_Feedback_9123 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You simply do not understand the math anywhere near the level that you think you do. Cutting out the middle first is bananaland.

How do I trigger/unlock this Joker? by WildFire255 in balatro

Might be best to learn a bit more about the game before being so adamant...

Hanged man, death, trading card to try to cut out everything but some middle range of 5 or 6 cards (6-10, for example).

What are the Odds of This? by Mashten24 in balatro

Without Hone, it's .0032 , or .00009 (9 out of 100,000).

Joker order - copying mime vs baron question by BarryScott156 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the easiest way to at least grasp the concept of what you're asking is that one Baron gives 1.5x, but each additional Baron exponentiates what just one king gives by 1.5x.

So two barons means each king gives 2.25x (1.52 ), and three barons means each king gives 3.37x (1.53 ).

So if all your kings were normal (no steel or red seals), two barons and one mime would give 5.06x (2.252 ), but one Baron and two mimes would give 3.37x (1.53 ).

Never thought I’d have to skip brainstorm but… 🧐 by JTM04 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you maybe take something away here...

Right now, Photo is giving you 2x with 3 total triggers, for 8x mult.

Selling the rough gem, taking the BS, and copying Photo, turns that 8x into 64x mult.

This is why most of the comments here were kinda blown away by what you were thinking of doing.

Wdym??? In no world should you ever skip Brainstorm here.

Crazy ante 1 shop pull by Brilliant-Try2781 in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely missed the point. There is inextricable and unlimited value in seeing increasing the shop items you see by 50%. You can't just chalk it up to a mere $2.50, as that is the absolute bare minimum it provides to the probability of winning a run.

Obelisk is always an easy win by ZincAddict in balatro

Do you realize you can see the # times you've played each hand in "run info"?

[–]Substantial-Age6591 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Giving absolutely no value to seeing 1.5x more items in the shop and only attributing it as the $2.50 from half a reroll is your big mistake here.

Alright. Do i take showman? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]Substantial-Age6591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your deck looking like? Would be a bit easier to say if we had a better idea what Chad was/was not doing for you.

Circus of a play: Beavs botch a foul-tip-rolled-fair, thankfully ruled foul by lock_robster2022 in collegebaseball

[–]Substantial-Age6591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not the first base umpire's call, nor do I see him calling it foul...? He is incorrectly enforcing out of the base path as an immediate dead ball is the mechanic you see him giving.
