Cash is often key in the early part of the game. The more cash you have, the better quality jokers and other perks you can buy. Therefore you want to get through early rounds using as few hands or discards as possible to maximize the end-of-round bonuses.
A flush with a high set of cards (ie. aces, kings, queens) is often all you need to score enough chips in the first couple of rounds, so look for those.

Adapt Your Jokers As The Rounds Progress
Different types of jokers work better at different stages of the game.
In the early rounds (ante 1 or 2), jokers that offer a stack of chips will help you reach those relatively low targets quickly.
As you get into the middle stages of the game (antes 3, 4 and 5) you’re now going to need jokers that add “mult” (ie. multiply the value of your chips) to reach those higher targets.
By the time you reach the later stages (antes 6, 7 and 8), you’re also going to need jokers that don’t just add mult, but multiply it. Look for jokers that offer “2x” instead of “+10” mult, for example.
You need to adapt your hand of jokers as the rounds progress. Don’t cling to a set of jokers that worked well in the early stages for too long, or you’ll soon find you’re missing the round targets.
Play Hands To Suit Your Jokers
Playing to the strength of your jokers is critical
Barry Collins It’s critical to build your hands to suit your jokers, not the other way round. If you’ve got jokers that provide bonuses for playing two pairs, for example, it’s normally better to play those hands (if possible) than straights or flushes, even though the latter two are nominally better hands.
Also look to exploit jokers that build mult the more you play the hand. The Spare Trousers joker, for example, gains Gains +2 mult every time you play a scoring hand that contains two pairs. Note, this also includes full houses or flushes containing two pairs.
If you play those hands repeatedly and keep the Spare Trousers in your hand, you’ll end up with a very powerful joker that massively multiplies your chip count every time.
Focus On One Type Of Hand
Building on the tip above, it can pay dividends to focus on a particular type of hand for the entire game.
Going back to our two pairs example above, in addition to building the Spare Trousers you could constantly buy the Uranus planet card, that upgrades the two pair hand scores.
You could also buy other jokers that complement the Spare Trousers. For example, the Square Joker gives you a chips bonus for playing hands with only four cards, which complements the two pair strategy. Powerful jokers such as the Blueprint repeat the power of the joker to the right, so you could pair it with your big scoring Spare Trousers to get twice the benefit.
Look For Insurance Jokers
Insurance jokers can get you out of a hole
Barry Collins As you progress through the antes and the boss blinds get more challenging, it’s easy to come unstuck on one particularly fiendish boss. Insurance jokers can be your friend here.
If you have a Luchador joker in your hand, for example, you can sell it to disable the current boss blind. Alternatively, Mr. Bones saves you from death, provided you get at least 25% of the required chip target for that round.
Having one of these cards available can be a lifesaver.
Dump Cards Even With Zero Discards Left
If you’ve burned through your discards and don’t have any jokers or tarot cards that get rid of unwanted cards in your hand, it’s still possible to dispose of them.
If you’re playing a three-of-a-kind hand, for example, remember that you can still play two other cards, even if they don’t score or affect the hand in any way. You might even burn a hand and get shot of five worthless cards to hopefully get you a decent scoring hand next time.
Don’t Cheat With Balatro Seeds!
If you do a quick Google or hang around in the Balatro Discord, you’ll find seeds that you can enter before starting a game that will give you an easy start.
However, seeded games aren’t counted as victories in your official Balatro stats. So, if you want to build win streaks, you’ll need to do it the hard way.
