Dude with the nebula deck but every hand he plays is lvl 1 is kinda impressive tbh.

[@Oxxyjoe]

NL thinks poker is not an intellectual game, and therefore plays it fast and loose, and it's just peculiar

[@imnashes]

@@Oxxyjoebalatros meant to be played fast and loose its what makes it special. he may take it to the extreme but its way more entertaining (to viewers and himself) and im here for it!

[@Oxxyjoe]

@@imnashes I disagree. I think it is meant to be played with some card-counting and a considerable amount of thinking. You cannot win on higher stakes unless you actually do this. Really the big mistake that NL seems to make, that this video emphasizes, is for example he levels up 2-pair with like ten planet cards, and then seems to just completely forget that and try playing other hands instead. I know he isn't stupid, so it's instead that he isn't playing the game the way it's meant to be played. His badness is peculiar because like, chat doesn't Like seeing him play fast and loose. Nobody except him thinks he needs to play badly to keep up with some sort of concept of pace. I don't find it entertaining to watch someone make lots of mistakes. Sometimes sure because it's comedy, but come on. I didn't know this stream was all slapstick self-demotion

[@NicolaeHolley]

For future purposes, the Blackboard isn't asking "Don't have diamonds or hearts in your hand", it's asking "*Have* clubs and spades". So a wild card is fine for the Blackboard, even if the base card is a diamond, because it is *also* a club or spade.

[@iainatkinson6686]

Not so. Hearts or diamonds in hand deactivate Blackboard. Wilds in hand count as black, through, yes.

[@dwntherabbithole9785]

the throw right at the end was the peakest shit imaginable. 10/10 this is the fuel I needed

[@TheJizel]

"Let's not commit to anything and let our jokers do the talking" Literally commits to 2 pair in round 2, lmao

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

He has committed to 2 pair since the game has come out lol

[@MultiChannel71]

When I was a kid, I had a fear of type A chatters. I was told that they felt no emotion, that their hearts never beat. But I know the truth now. When I see NL discarding a blackboard-enabling straight in favor of two pair, I have never felt more alive.

my brother in balatro, eternal jokers can only exist in the shop (no packs, no judgement)

well, except in the new beta of the game, they do show up in packs now. Lol. so hopefully he doesn't learn just in time to get it twisted

[@jamiemonroe4144]

I honestly think Cerulean Bell is the most dangerous and obnoxious ante 8 boss. Shit has demolished so many of my runs before, good ones and ones like this where I barely scraped by just to get murdered by a card I can't use effectively.

“Greater it is to have ante 6’d and held r than never to have ante 6’d at all” - Shakespeare

[@liamhendrickson7271]

Hindsight is 20/20, but last hand needs to be the selected 10, then 2 pair with 8s and 6s lets you get the mult from the two pair and enables blackboard since all the red cards are played

[@nazurix689]

Watching egg look for eternal joker in packs while they cannot contain a eternal jokers is golden 😂😂

[@amrit6252]

22:30 are we even playing flushes the most? Has played 12 flushes, the most played hand type this run. Picks Pluto over Jupiter. 🙃🙃🙃

[@bigspagheti4119]

We're Balatro guys, of course we say to let our jokers do the talking then decide its a two pair kinda run after seeing ONE Uranus in the literal first shop 😂

[@frexistential]

That Madness run was an all timer! Great stuff NL.

[@johnathan_joestar_]

HOOOOOOOLD (WHY didnt you Play 2 Pair in the End?! WHAT WAS THE COMMITMENT IN ROUND 2 for!???)

[@steelgunsuit]

the first run had such amazing potential, with double re-trigger and smiling face. unfortunately his attention was focused on the burglar and Jim joker which made his other jokers worse.

[@kylerjordan9616]

16:57 i thought to myself, why are you keeping the 2 friend? then I watched as he drew a full house, I realized I was mistaken, understood my blunder. That's when he discarded the full house. but what can I say he won didn't he, and besides what is the telescope voucher for if not a flush build anyway?

[@protogon]

protip to the commentors, if the gameplay annoys you, you can simply just not watch the video. crazy idea i know

[@impulsecdog4979]

HE HAD TWO PAIR AT THE END NL WHY

[@destructiondragon360]

I think you just got unlucky, Madness has won me runs with every card in my hand debuffed

[@janggj]

How come was there no buffon pack in the first shop of the video? Isnt it guaranteed now?

[@billyhelms]

Your Balatro content sustains me

[@samward343]

Let's go, no challenge, just good and pure balatro :)

[@SuperCaitball]

you're playing pre-patch, you don't get eternals in packs

[@YuckyRory]

Dude you are so sick at this game lol I'm learning a lot

[@RalorPenwat]

Math bros im sorry but it's 1 am i can't be asked. Does the 2pair at the end get him there?

[@carseatdeadrest]

Don't know if he addressed it in an earlier video, but what's his take on the update?

[@niLnevyH]

If you buy hieroglyph ante 1 is there a ante 0?

[@phantasmagoria9898]

Yes, it is super easy to beat blinds there too as they are lower than ante 1.

[@LWmusik]

Burglar + 2 dusk, legendary stuff

[@TheRealFishyB]

I came out here learning that Madness doesn't need to kill a card to gain mult.

[@zaftnotameni]

19:40 "we did everything we could do".... imagine buying a moon card...

[@nanoco1000]

why does he keep calling it blindness

[@samg131]

What the fuck was he thinking selling baseball LOL
