Finally! Balatro black deck win over Violet Vessel!

He'd always stomped me good due to the high total required and -1 Hand penalty for the deck. So this time I saw the Grabber (+1 Hand) voucher and snapped it up... and then didn't need it.

My jokers from left to right:

Bull (+2 Chips for each $1 you have)
Ramen (x2 Mult, loses x0.01 Mult per card discarded)
Obelisk (gains x0.2 Mult per consecutive hand played without playing most played poker hand)
Blueprint (copies ability of Joker to the right)
Throwback (X0.25 Mult for each Blind skipped this run)
Acrobat (x3 Mult on final hand of round)

So no +Mult which is unusual. Basically I just worked on building a huge cash hoard to power Bull, discarded at little as possible, and only played pair/two pair when absolutely necessary to avoid resetting Throwback. Acrobat was there as a final bailout.

In round 8, the tags for skipping the blinds were Juggle (+3 Hand Size for the next round) and Economy (Doubles your money, adds a maximum of $40). I scooped up both and took my shot. Played straight - straight and wiped the floor with him in 2 hands.

Huzzah!
