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.

Thanks! I’m mostly confused by the post not linking anything, not sure if that’s just a posting style I’m unfamiliar with, or if OP forgot to put a link in.
