Straight flushes, four of a kind, and trips are the hands I play the least.
Yeah those hands are in a kind of middle ground where they are difficult to compose, but don’t scale well enough to necessarily be able to build around.
Like, its way easier to build around flush or straight; you can guarantee yourself the ability to get those in a given blind. And so for those hands, you can augment with jokers/ scaling mult to win.
And hands like five of a kind, flush house, five of a kind flush, the value of these hands is so much higher, you can make a run at ante 8 just through scaling those hands (not even worrying about jokers, just through deck management). I mean this is basically what you have to do to win Jokerless.
So those hands sit in a middle zone where you’ll have to throw economy at them (costing you the ability to build/ manage your deck, or to buy jokers/ rerolls), but alone, they don’t scale well enough to get to a victory.
The challenges are really good for learning because they force you to play in manners you wouldnt’ normally.

I’ve beaten all decks on red stake and all challenges. Now I’m working through them to get them all to gold stake. I’m shooting for completionist++, but I have a feeling I’ll get through all the decks and just not want to get gold stake on all jokers. That part sounds brutal.

- Comment on Dogma is the mask one wears to hide ignorance from one's self 1 week ago:
Ok. No disagreement that Dogma had a higher budget. I just think Clerks, even with the lower budget and basically no name cast, is a much better movie. It’s seriously rewatchable. Try rewatching it. Dogma might be a bit slicker in terms of production, but the jokes fall flat and the whole thing feels wandering, like Smith thought he had something to say about Catholicism, the church, modernity, but it ends up aimless and more pointing at the idea of profoundness without actually saying or doing anything profound. Clerks in the other hand has real points to make about consumerism, working life, absurdity of everyday experience, and what something like friendship really means. Smith understands the point he’s trying to make and makes it well. He even front runs the kind of nihilism that’s become dominant in (especially Internet) humor today.
Clerks is easily in my top 100 films of all time, maybe even top 40. And I don’t think it would be improved with higher production budget. Dogma was definitely in my top 100 20 years ago, but these days, prob wouldn’t even crack the top 500. Dogma is pretending to be a smart movie, but us actually kinda dumb. Clerks is a smart movie pretending to be dumb.

Could you use hot air? It might require some of the energy being generated be consumed, but its much more sustainable.

Ok.
As cool as this is, I"m also super interested in what happens if when the cables breaks.
Like, how far will it go? A hundred kilometers? a thousand? Ten thousand? I just imagine one of things getting lose and it circling half the globe.
