    As the game goes on, the poker hands also get increasingly unrealistic and different from real poker including things like five of a kind, and a pair being worth more than a royal flush.

    If you tried to take the skills you learn from balatro to a poker table you would get kicked out basically immediately.

      I place a torn up joker on the table, a tarot card, a llanowar elf card, and a pair of threes

      “So with my score multiplier basically I own the casino.”

      The dealer frantically calls security

      I had a run where I legitimately had to stop and compare the point values a Two Pair Vs. One Pair Vs. Straight Flush

      And ONE PAIR wound up being the one with the highest point value…

      I was still 600 dollars short of winning against the Boss Blind, ending my run
