    It’s really dumb if you know the two games (poker and Balatro).

    Poker is a game of incomplete information where you need one single higher ranked hand than him per round. The stakes are money you bet that your hand is better. Bluffing is an important part of the game.

    Balatro is mostly a game with complete information (apart from the order of remaining cards in your deck and certain bosses that flip your cards). You bet no money. There is no bluffing. Money does not correlate to chips. It is about the rating of your hand (poker has no rating, only relative ranking). You play multiple hands. You can’t fold. Cards can be improved, ratings can be improved, the decks can look nothing like poker decks, etc.
