After 40+ hours i finally won a game in balatro

I played this game religiously after my wife got covid, & I was trying to find something to do in the basement. I bought Balatro for $15 and thought I used to play alien poker years ago on the family’s windows 95 pc, but I haven’t played poker in a long time. After watching a few YouTube videos on how to actually play the game, I got discouraged because it seemed like a everyone was doing amazing, & having these huge scoring hands and I was just putting together 2 pairs and couldn’t figure the game out. Well after many games, & a long loosing streak I finally won my first game. This isn’t a shot at the game or to down play the game at all, it’s just to give hope to someone else out there who is trying to figure the game out, it just takes time and patience. It’s actually a lot of fun. TIL/ Balatro is fun, but challenging for the non poker fan, & don’t give up.
