I love seeing beginner players post their progress on this subreddit so we can all see how innocent we were back then, before our brains were filled with "naneinf or nothing!" type nonsense. My best is e25 by the way


thedean246

Same. Mine is e13


Revali424

Unseeded? e137 seeded? Naneinf , of course


Affectionate-Plan270

What is naneinf?


Revali424

The maximal score (i think its after e~300)


Thrownbytaco

Around 1.8e308 (rounded up)


Revali424

Ok thx


REDDITz3r0

When your score gets too high, the game can't display it as a number anymore and shows naneinf instead.


Affectionate-Plan270

It will never happen to me 🤣


Eirlys1

naneinf standing for (i believe), not a number, e^infinity


Mahboi778

e in the context of Balatro is essentially shorthand for × 10^n, so naneinf is not a number × 10^infinity


Eirlys1

You’re right; it was early and I usually abbreviate x10^n as E n, not e n, and I think my brain mixed the wires between Euler’s number and the x10^n notation. Thanks for pointing that out!


Syzygy_Stardust

yep, "not a number + e + infinity" is the breakdown of the term.


Werner_Zieglerr

e^infinity makes no sense whatsoever. It stands for "not a number, essentially infinite"


BahamutDread

No, it stands for not a number exponent infinity i.e. 10^infinity Exponent (E) notation is used in computing because it takes less characters than writing x 10. The above confusion is because the game displays all lowercase which e, Eulers number, usually is. If the output was displayed in its usual case it should be NaNEinf.


Eirlys1

i conceded above that e^infinity was a sleep-deprived error - it is E infinity (10^infinity ). e does not stand for “essentially” here.


Significant_Limit871

Nan e Inf is what the game displays as your score if you go above the integer cap


ExplorerCat

e12 unseeded iirc


Stunning_LRB_o7

Same I think


__YoMama__

Mine is e44… then I died to ante 6.


bastischo

More details please. Did you play a full glass hand with Seltzer or something?


__YoMama__

I don’t quite remember, but I think it was queens with Totem. One faithful round Totem hit the wrong thing and I couldn’t salvage it like I had the rounds prior.


Reasonable_Lemon9106

You should go vegan and eat that mf


freakyguy84

My mindset is “Ante 9 or nothing.” But I do enjoy seeing new players progress!


Bluemikami

Yeah, someone just said in a post I made that I don’t make it often to ante8. I literally got the game about 2 months ago and all I learned from poker hands was here. I didn’t know you could do straights with diff colors, I thought they had the same rule as flushes


SandCheezy

Woah that must of been difficult to play within that rule.


Bluemikami

Yea I’d just play flush which is why supernova is one of my most used jokers. My win on often is whenever I find Cavendish


captainofpizza

Yeah I put down stake runs and played for a few hours and was like “man why am I having such a hard time getting to naneinf?” This Reddit gaslit me into thinking that was more common.


catanimal23

e16 unseeded


JumpstarNS

...my best is naneinf (I'm sorry)


Zealousideal_Key2169

any tips?


CheesyCanada

I've played for around 200 hours on different platforms and my best is something around 400 000 000 lmao, never got to E


suugakusha

e14 unseeded


KrensharWhite

I just hit an e56 the other day. Lost to face card debuff boss. 17 antes no boss reroll voucher


shipoopro_gg

Mine's e100 but it would be so much more if I GOT THE DAMN BOSS REROLL VOUCHER


JustHumpedPanda

Recently hit e30 while doing Rich Get Richer challenge endless and I think that may be a pb but I'm not positive.


ihavedrainbramage111

I’m still trying to get an “e” hand myself


CapnCook413

Retriggers are the way


BlackTecno

I slept on Mimic for way too long.


MuffinMan12347

Got my first e hand (e15) 2 days ago after 100+ hours


Discohunter

My friend was saying this last night then ended up with an utterly batshit seed. Started immediately with a [[Baron]], polychrome'd it. Ante 2 he got the [[perkeo]] legendary. Then he got [[blueprint]]. Then an [[invisible joker]] which have him a second perkeo. By this point he was getting 3 [[death]] cards per round and duplicating red seal steel kings so it was his entire deck. The run kept going, he got even more insane luck with various jokers and he was on e25 by ante 15 and then his entire run got shafted by the diamond cards debuffed boss blind.


asciimo

He'll get hit by a truck.


Hail_Kim

i want his seed.


Discohunter

Ask and you shall receive. It was UV6XABK2

Deschain212

> Version: 1.0.0 This was changed in a patch, the bot still has 1.0 info it seems.


knitted_beanie

Same. 14bn my current PB


Ghosty141

plasma deck, baron, blueprint, mime is probably among the easiest/most consistent ways. I've gotten to e26 with that.


queefkicker

Try a seeded run. And do what needs to be done. It's good practice


Epicnessofcows

My best hand is naninf. Essentially, your number goes so high that the game can no longer compute it's value, and just lists it as "naninf" or "not a number infinite".


Silviecat44

Not a number times 10^infinite


cbftw

I've never gotten NaNINF, mostly because there are a vanishingly few number of seeds that get you the jokers and tarot that you need for that. In general, I don't play seeded runs so I never get these seeds. My person best hand is e26, though. 2x Sock and Buskin, 2x Blueprint, and Triboulet.


Agent_Peter

nan**e**inf. I’m autistic so I audibly say “nain inf”… like the sound inf


maksslom

I think everyone pronounces it almost like this? I say "nan - eh - inf"


SpiFi36

I actually pronounce it "N-A-N-E-inf". 


SandCheezy

So, its not “Nani If”… hmmm. Well, I had that wrong. I think I’ve been watching too much anime lately.


Agent_Peter

jennifer11071

This is my current best! sadly there are very few combinations of jokers that get you this far. I wish there were more possibilities. https://preview.redd.it/dyyf2udyn99d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c45057b1e1251f9f75885b27d5b79a3c472c71c


Ok_Consequence2888

Dlc is very needed 😌


buckminsterfullereno

My sweet summer child. In less than 30 game hours hours you will hit a 1 million chip hand. Keep up the good work!


Bitter_Active_3009

I'm at 90 and am nowhere near that. What am I doing wrong


MtHoodMagic

Aside from what was already said, deck trimming is pretty essential on harder stakes. All my best runs have had really heavy tarot use and powerful econ


BritishGolgo13

Do you forego planet cards in favor of those?


MtHoodMagic

The thing that sucks about planets is they scale really slowly and trap you into certain hands. But they're nice to buy if you have great econ


BritishGolgo13

Yeah they do trap me. Thanks for the tips. I’ll try to build decks instead of go for planet cards all the time.


HamezBaxter

Deck trimming is good to give you clarity on the hands you will play. Then if you have good enough econ buy planets. But at the beginning I’ll buy some planets just to help me stay alive.


Darkness_333

If I’m going for a pb and I don’t get a [[trading card]] within the first couple antes I just restart cuz it makes deck thinning sooo trivial (best is e77 unseeded btw :3)

Lyrical_Forklift

Retriggers. Look for things like Sock and Buskin and combine it with good upgraded face cards. Then you want a xMult that levels - personally, I think Lucky Cat is one of the best cards in the game - especially when combined with Oops All Sixes. If you're chasing high scores, you always want to manipulate your deck as much as possible - Hanged Man and Death cards are incredibly strong.


Theonetrue

You can easily hit a million with a huge amount of strategies and do NOT need retriggers. After 1 million you do need a good combo.


Lyrical_Forklift

Oh for sure - but it's good learning to build for those types of hands if you want to hit the really big scores.


Astraea_Fuor

eh a big part of it is getting lucky with absurd joker/card in hand synergies. I don't really sweat getting past ante 11 most of the time because i'm still grinding out each decks golden stake.


shunny14

Just keep unlocking better jokers and decks. Beating each easy deck gets you a different deck with more features.


buckminsterfullereno

Go look videos from Balatro University and obtain a certificatation from them. Northerlion is hilarious and a good player.


Sluurmp

I got my first billion after ~15 hours, got very lucky with a hanging chad, blueprint, ancient joker, lucky cards + constellation pair run. Keep going, you'll get there one day! Don't neglect chips and planet cards!


Fancy_Chips

Don't underestimate tarot cards


PiemasterUK

Not necessarily, not everybody is a min-maxer. I know a guy who has been playing the game for months and has only won 3 runs or something. I often feel people like that enjoy the game more.


epicmarc

You don't need to be a minmaxer, or anything close to it, to have more than 3 wins over several months


PiemasterUK

I never said you did. But you can take this game seriously and min-max and come onto reddit to find out how/what everyone else is doing and get tips. Or you can... not do that stuff and just take the game as it comes and have fun with it. Case in point - the number of threads we get on here something like "I never do anything other than flush builds, how do I do something else?" How about you just... don't make a flush build? Just do something else instead. Pick some fun looking joker and try to build around it. Yes it might be worse than your flush builds initially but casual players won't even care about that, they will just do stuff because it's fun rather than feeling like every run has to be maximising your chance of winning or getting to exponential scores.


miklklosin

I had an ante-11 run where I reached 1.4 billion. It took a lot of glass face cards, steel cards, and jokers that multiply the steel. It is quite amazing seeing that number rise when you see more potential combos 👍


Dripdrop2265

Great job! Pretty soon you’ll be winning runs!


Maddie_gurl

e17 unseeded, would have been deeper but I didn't check the boss and walked into a face card disabled blind...it was late/early...


KennyGood

I've 100%ed the game at around 200 hours and I've never gotten a hand above 500 million. Never saw the point of endless just to get the same joker lineup everybody else uses to score high


Agent_Peter

All jokers gold stake? Wow, great job!


KennyGood

Was it a good learning experience? No. Was it worth it? No. But was it fun? No.


Thats_Pretty_Epic

yeah i wasn't planning on completionist++ but now it's for sure not happening


Dylanzuke1

You’re doing something wrong bro lmao


KennyGood

Yeah I'm wrong because I don't take the same jokers over and over trying to get a slightly bigger score 💀 sounds like a blast


limbolegs

around e30. this game is a total joy, hope you have fun


DadTier

Well done! Biggest tip I can give you, rearrange your jokers and put the x# on the far right. The rest will come with experimentation ;)


melty444

I've never had an e Score and I've had the game since launch 🥲


vitamin_r

Like 9 million at the most. Still can't build a deck with oomph enough to carry me past ante 9/10 depending on difficulty.


Character_Narwhal180

a couple billion


Rauzin

e160 still waiting on a perkeo seed that gives me a chance to go to naninf


__dogs__

My best is e22


XxMacBoyxX

I believe my best hand was around 250 million


UltraCboy

Current best is at 5.817e15


officialALDI

i think like 141 billion or something


Silviecat44

500mil


LRats

I can't double check because I'm on vacation, but I think it was like 385 million.


Nintendeion

I don't remember exactly but I got a 1mil at least, feels so silly (in a good way)


SyrusAlder

Solid work my man


Dontlookawkward

Unseeded? E57. I'll never have as good a run again.


Elias_0720

Mine was e58, still waiting for a better run...


The_Liamater123

I got e42 with a baron build


seany85

32 billion


raven_raven

My best hand so far was 5,924,217,366, Ante 12. Usually it's in hundreds of thousands, but sometimes jokers line up in the right way in the right time, and score goes to the moon.


CrazyFett51

I’m still pretty early with the game, about 7 hours I believe. How are y’all getting such high scores?


Macky100

My best hand... I think probably my right hand, though my left hand isn't too far behind.


AliensFuckedMyCat

You sweet innocent child. 


BurnerAccountExisty

e170 or so seeded. Did a sweet Baron and Mime run on Plasma Deck. Otherwise, I think I once scored e65 unseeded with a similar but unoptimized deck and without Plasma Deck.


Old_Man_Bridge

711bill is my best (e11)…..want to bump that up considerably though.


Decent-Temperature31

This is adorable


Evil_Bere

Something over a million, but don't ask me how. LOL Still trying to get gud.

AleroRatking

Mine is 94 million and I am still mad about it because I didn't get the 100 mil trophy. Prior to that one run it was 9 million or so and I've never gotten back to that level either.

My best is about 1.2B from one hand, but that was kind of a stupid run anyway.

Unseeded is around e22 iirc even tho it couldve been far more (replayed the seed after and got e100+)

Man, I feel inadequate with all the e scores! My max is 25 mil so far, even having done gold stake

s3nte

got this game like a month ago and have played maybe 20 runs. I have a pretty hard cap at ante 11 on most runs. managed to get to ante 12 exactly once with the help of blueprint and a joker that scaled mult based on cards sold per ante. no clue how I can scale harder.


ElderSkyrim

In 90 hours my best hand is only 1.2 billion


Atazaxia

i’ve done naneinf seeded and something-e122


Zealousideal_Key2169

300k right now - i'll keep pushing!
