As a frequent cribbage player this is the absolute nuts
how did you even get your hand size that low? hope those negative jokers were worth it lmaooo
135 chips (base level, no modifiers)
given your hand size you probably have a stuntman, made something negative, and took the hieroglyph (classic series of blunders) so that’d be 885 chips, should be enough to clear any blind in ante 1 (pre-purple) but I’d either drop that joker if it isn’t eternal (or this resulted from consecutive ectoplasms, even classic-er blunder, just hold R at that point if the engine isn’t set yet) or start pumping high card immediately
I've recently started playing balatro and I hate to admit it but I think I enjoy it more than actual poker
and the right jack, even. skunk their ass!
I don't know a single thing about cribbage 
this is the highest scoring hand in the game. you're trying to add up combinations of cards to 15, with face cards all equal 10. each unique combination of cards that adds up to 15 is worth 2 points. you get to use the face up card on top of the deck, as well, so @mechwarrior2@hexbear.net has 16 points showing just from that. pairs are also worth 2 points each, so that's another 12 points, and having the jack of the same suit as the card on top of the deck is worth another point for no reason. 29 points in all, and the game is played until 121, so it's a large jump.
It's been forever since I played. Grew up in MN where we had cribbage boards drilled into our park benches and picnic tables. Let's see we got 15-8 off the jack, 12 off the four of a kind, the right jack gets another two, I'm probably missing something but 22 points off the show? is that right lol
