Seems like a weird leap to make considering Balatro has basically nothing to do with poker beyond the game’s basic flavour.

It has the card hand rule things of poker but that’s it. Possibly there’s some more rules, I’ve never played it, I can’t put cards in defense mode and there are no shinies, then I’m sorry I don’t care.

Why the fuck would you go to a casino and gamble with real money after realizing you’re “hard addicted to this shit”? 4channers have brain worms.

Because they probably didn’t and thought “this would make a funny green text” instead

Well yeah, greentexts are either boring or fake, that’s why I’m here (where the shittiest ones are filtered out) and not on 4chan. I’m just trying to have some fun with it.

I always like to imagine these are real and a 4channer posts their real experience.

Same. Thinking if a greentext is real or not beats the experience to it. If it isn’t the most absurd thing, probably happened to somebody, maybe not anon. If it is an absurd thing, it could’ve happened to somebody. Ffs, my brother shit himself while driving last week, and there’s probably a greentext about a guy with food intoxication that tried to go home and shat himself while driving.

Because this is how addictions work, no? People want to quit alcohol and tobacco, but can’t, as it offers pleasure their brains fail to reject.

I’m sure that really happened.

Balatro is like poker in the same way that checkers is like a grand strategy. It’s got the feel of poker but it really isn’t the same thing at all.

For one thing the rules don’t change just because you are random Joker cards.

Balatro is FTL with playing cards. If you think FTL trains you to fly interstellar missions, do not play Balatro.

The strategy of a good card game trades blows with the best of video games.
