Oh no, they were too late and they could not save you from that forbidden knowledge… If only you’d read that before :
The player is able to access a list of poker hand names. As the player hovers over these poker hands, the game explains what types of cards the player would need in order to play certain hands. As the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points. Because these are hands that exist in the real world, this knowledge and skill could be transferred to a real-life game of poker.
… About that, I think you’d be in trouble if you pull off Balatro’s flush five in a “real life game of poker”. It’s literally five identical cards, both suit and rank.

Thank you PEGI for warning us against the dangers of knowing what a straight flush is.
I just bought it yesterday and now I mortgaged my house to go gamble because now I know how poker works… /s

I guess all the time I spent playing Balatro makes me an expert in Poker. Vegas, here I come!
BRB, selling my kidneys to give that a shot.
Help, I tried to play a flush five at the casino and now I’m in some backroom with a big guy standing over me cracking his knuckles.
Did you get a boss blind reroll voucher? Maybe you can reroll the big guy into a less scary one.
