Brother through his anointment straight in the trash

[@rocketrelm1125]

14:51 He scored 180 x 30 on his 3oak. On the house hand he hovered he coulda gotten 190 x 39. With a steel held in hand he coulda got 140 x [(29x1.5)+10]. After running the numbers NL was definitely screwed no matter what, but he coulda milked an extra 2300~ chips over the 5400 he got. (Honestly I was just curious how the math turned out and now that I did it may as well share.)

[@ComfortableTool86]

Petroglyph was pure hubris

[@staxringold]

There's something funny about watching this AFTER watching the video where NL wins orange stake on Painted, just knowing from the start it fails.

[@Kosiduss]

skipping immolate because there's three standard queens in the hand, when he's adding one to two upgraded queens each round, to then lose because he doesnt draw his queens

Little tip to improve your runs: You don't have to buy vouchers as soon as you come across them unless they provides instant merit. So that you can farm a little more interest. You can buy them before the boss blind.

Dude has like a thousand balatro videos and is on gold stake on basically every deck, this patronizing back seating is bonkers.

@@BlakeTheJaffaCake he's right though lmao there was no need to buy telescope and tank his econ to nothing. Let's be real, NL doesn't read comments anyway but I'm sure it's nice advice for other players who watch and read the comments.

@@rollyproductionsfair enough

[@HyperCat98_]

​@@BlakeTheJaffaCake I hate backseating as much as the next guy, but this is really good advice. NL doesn't read his comments anyway. However, I would argue he's only on high stakes for every deck purely because of how much he plays the game. A blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes. NL throws really good runs when the only thing that should ruin it is a bad boss blind. I'm no pro at the game by any means, but I do understand wanting to give advice, at least to others, when they're watching NL make the same mistakes over and over again.

[@Level80Sorcerer]

I would have definitely used Immolate at 10:58 , yeah, the draw had 3 queens, but only one gold seal and other two basic queens...
