If I’m not mistaken, this is even a Royal Flush with the given jokers.
Tried this at poker night once
I am no longer invited to poker night
balatro IRL would fucking rock
Ooh! You could do a fusion of 5 card draw and texas hold em
You have a hand of 5 cards. The dealer flops three jokers from the game.
Players get one discard each, then one round of betting.
Then you have the turn (with discard and bets) and then the river.
You don’t see everyone’s hands but everyone shares the same 5 jokers.
I’ve not played Balatro. I can see how three wildcards could turn this into a straight or a flush, but not a straight flush. How?
I don’t know jokers by sight yet, but there’s one that lets you do straights with gaps… So 2, 4, 5, 7, 9
Another that counts hearts and diamond as same as club and spade as same.
3rd allows straights and flushes to be played with 4 cards.so 7, 9, J , Q.
8 is a skip, 10 is a skip. Ok’d by jokers. Ace isn’t counted in scoring or hand.
Ace will get counted as part of the straight.
But would the straight flush take priority since it’s a higher scoring hand or how is it chosen? I assume a straight flush doesn’t check for a straight and a flush.
All 5 cards will be counted in the straight flush. It’s a straight (with one card gaps) and a flush (with 4 of the “same” suit).
So not all cards of the straight need to be flush to be counted as a straight flush so long as there is another flush in the played hand according to Balatro’s scoring?
It’s because the hand joker card there allows straights and flushes to be made with 4 cards, so the 4 black suited cards make a flush, and the gapped sequence makes a straight, since both hands are made together it counts as straight flush. You can ignore the ace. It can get weirder because you can make a 4 card straight and toss another card unrelated but with the same suit as 3 of the straight cards and it still counts as straight flush.
