If you take it on ante 9, do you have to fight a second final boss, or is the ante 8 boss a regular boss?

Since end bosses also show up on Ante 16 (and other multiples of 8), I imagine one would show up agai EDIT: oh wait, it doesn't change the boss. I don't think it would then. But wait, what if you take it at ante 8 then

I had an excellent flush run with Ancient Joker (xmult on variable suit), the one where it gives you +mult for flush (Droll Joker I think?), jupiter whenever possible plus jupiter in the consumables holster to add 1.5 mult every flush, and a few others. Was putting up 200k/300k each hand and then on Ante 7 ran into a boss blind that debuffed hearts when Ancient Joker chose hearts for the round. Balatro giveth and taketh away it seems.

I ran into a very similar situation with the Castle joker that adds chips to itself for every time you discard the variable suit. I also used a sigil spectral card. Guess what suit it landed on.

Fork of Unknown Origins posted:It’s going to depend on how many of the cards in your hand are left in your deck. You’ll want to keep whichever one you have the most of, or depending on hand size and what your deck looks like possibly the top two. Whether you have a chance at quads (or would even want them) matters too. Fine, I'll calculate it, because it feels wrong to just keep one card. Sure, you have one more draw, but you only have 3 cards you want to hit. Using this: https://cardgamecalculator.com Say you draw AAAKQJT9 and want to draw a full house. How many cards besides the AAA do you want to keep? Probability to pair if you keep X cards: 1: 25.40% 2: 36.30% 3: 37.10% 4: 27.27% So you actually get the best odds if you keep 3 and only discard 2. Interesting. This does ignore drawing a completely new pair. And getting the 4th ace. The difference between 2 and 3 is rather close though, and because you're thinning the deck more, the odds go up slightly faster. These are the probabilities on the first and subsequent draws: Keeping 2 cards: 36.30% 38.60% 41.20% 44.17% Keeping 3 cards: 37.10% 38.68% 40.38% 42.25% Still awfully close. Maybe it's best to keep 3 cards if you have 3 good ones, and 2 if you don't. Keeping 1 card or 4 if you really need that full house seems foolish. (And obviously I'm still ignoring some stuff, and assuming an otherwise full deck.)

Your math is clearly wrong, the probability to make a full house from a three of a kind is definitely less than 5% EDIT: but only if you absolutely need the full house

Except at the start of the game (and only on the first hand dealt even then), you probably don’t have a full deck. Most of the time you’re going to have to factor in how many of each card is left. If you’ve discarded or played 15 cards already you have a lot more information about the deck than you ever do in poker. Using that is very important as you climb up the antes and chip colors.

Currently trying to get past Blue Stake on a few decks and... just.. I did find out that  holding R will restart your run which is a much quicker way of restarting a run rather than going through a menu

MJeff posted:My advice for getting a full house is to get two pairs in your hand, discard everything else, get three pairs in hand, use your last discard on everything else, get four pairs in hand, get frustrated, carefully examine your remaining cards in deck to determine the best odds you have to get a third copy of one of your cards in hand to show up, play a two pair for almost no points to make room in your hand, immediately draw a third copy of one of the pairs you got rid of and die. You forgot the part where in your first discard you got rid of an open ended straight draw or a flush draw, which you had a much higher chance of hitting. Then all the rest of what you said.

It's interesting to see how some jokers completely flounder outside of the limited area that was the demo. Consider the Fortune Teller and Vagabond combo. When the Vagabond was 4 dollars and with the demo's scaling, that was a really potent combo. Now, in the full game with all the options, it's really not great.

I got Madness on the first shop and thought I'd give it a try. I knew it wouldn't go far in endless, but figured it would be neat to see if I could win a game with it. Concentrated on enhancing as many cards and upgrading hands as possible. Made it to the last ante and...  lol oh well

There's a Mega Buffoon pack right there in the skips. You can let Madness eat one, sell the other. What's your money situation?

Concentrated on enhancing as many cards and upgrading hands as possible. Yeah that's easy to solve, if you even need the cards themselves, a 12x madness is probably enough to just brute force 100k. Alternatively just pick up 2 jokers in the shop before the boss blind.

I dont think it is unless you have hella planets. 600 is a struggle with a naked deck and madness alone only brings that to 7200 (with the foil optimistically bumping that to 15k). Madness is kind of a joke unless you get really good blind skips or more realistically are black stake or higher.

It's a foil madness (shame it's not holo), level 3 flush that hits a multi card + bonus card + holo card + foil card (not unreasonable if you're investing in cards all game) gets you to around 50k. Gets awfully dicey but it's not impossible.

I kind of made it work a bit one time with the joker that gives 2 free ones per blind. At lower ante the multiplier is really good but yeah you need a backup plan later which is dumb because you could have just tried building something else imo

Fun fact with Four Fingers people may not know. You can turn any normal straight into a Straight Flush so long as 3 of the cards involved in the straight are the right suit. Simply add a card of the correct suit to a 5 card hand and even though say, Ace, 2, 3 of clubs and 4 of Hearts is not a flush, adding the 8 of clubs turns it into one. Here is a visual demonstration  By the way this also works for Flush Houses and Flush Fives.

uXs posted:Sure. It's still interesting that my gut feeling was basically correct. Leaving out the possibility of forming a pair throws it off though I think. If you throw back all 5 non-aces, you’re now drawing from a deck of 44, with one A, three of 10-J, and 4 of everything else. I don’t quite have the math chops to factor in how those missing face cards impact things, but your odds of getting a pair from that would be something around 1- 41/44 * 37/43 * 33/42 * 29/41 = 45%. It’s a bit lower because I’m giving the same odds to the face cards even though the rank has some missing, but there’s a substantial chance of pulling that pair from a full 5 draw. And a substantial chance from a 4 draw too of 37%. Or I’ve screwed my math up which is totally possible.
