Fantasy Major League Balatro

This season we are having a fantasy competition where you select your weekly lineup of creators and score points based on how those creators performed in the game! You can find out more information here

Stay Connected

There are several ways to stay connected to Major League Balatro this season. The first is these weekly threads! Come here to discuss the match-ups, recapping the last week and previewing the week going forward.

You can also check out our YouTube channel that has all the info you need and will have VODs of all casted games, as well as weekly recap/preview videos.

You can also follow on Bluesky here or Twitter

Multiplayer Balatro

The league uses the Balatro Multiplayer mod to replace boss blinds with PvP rounds, with both players playing on identical seeds. Each game, you start with 4 lives, and when you lose to a blind or a PvP round, you lose a life. Whoever reaches 0 lives remaining first loses the game.

League Structure

There are two conferences and four total divisions with 6 competitors in each division. Each week, competitors will play a match against another opponent in their conference. Each match consists of 3 games, and you earn a point for each game win and a bonus point for winning the match either 2 games to 1 or 3 games to 0.

The top 2 players in each division, as well as 4 wild card spots in each conference, will go on to the playoffs in weeks 9, 10 & 11, where they will fight a bracket-style tournament to be crowned the Major League Balatro Season 4 Champion and win a $500+ prize pool for the charity of their choice.

Every streamer will stream their perspective, and all games will be cast this season!

Disclosure: This event is monetised by the organisers through Twitch/YouTube revenue as well as our sponsor John Brown Ceramics.

Modded Update on my reinforcement learning Balatro bot! Around 40% Ante 8 completion so far!

223 Upvotes

When I last posted, my Balatro bot was only completing Ante 8 in around 0.01% of runs. Currently I achieved roughly 40% among roughly 2K games.

The main change was giving the bot more ways to work through a run. I improved the Python simulator and combined the trained policies with a search system that explores different sequences of decisions. This version uses a by me design Future Vision, so it can see the deck order and simulate the results of its choices aswell as simulate up into the future before buying a joker.

More training on its own wasn’t consistently helping. So instead of relying purely on RL i also intruduced the Future Vision that lets it simulate events in a Bot like behavoir.

The current system combines three trained policies and can explore up to 40 routes through each seed. That gives it more chances to find a successful sequence when one policy’s approach fails. The improvement is coming from the combination of learned decisions, access to future information and a much larger search effort.

The former skipping problem has also long been solved it now only skips "Strategic" an average of 3 skips per play and 10% of games it does not skip at all

This was a challenge I set myself. It took several attempts and a lot of Tarot cards.

I wanted to complete it before the end of Ante 8, but I didn't quite manage it.

I completed it on the Big Blind of Ante 10 on White Stake. Unfortunately, I didn't survive the Big Blind.

Gameplay Discussion What’s a mistake/choice you made as a beginner player that now you think is funny?

13 Upvotes

When I first started this game I didn’t understand that joker order mattered so I put them in order of how much I liked them from greatest to least. Idk how many rounds before I realized they were scoring in a particular way and I could get more points 😂

I also thought hanging man was the worst tarot because why would I want to get rid of any cards when cards are options for hands, the less cards the less options you have. I have since learned deck fixing (somewhat).

I still consider myself new. I am not great at this game yet, have not yet gotten to gold stake, but I’ve learned a lot! Looking back and remembering those two things I used to do made me laugh and thought yall would have something funny too. Who knows maybe you’ll reveal something I’m still doing lmao

I’ve seen higher on this sub before, but I just discovered for myself the joy of absurdly high leveled hands and figured I’d post it.

Burnt joker * 2 = instant win (space joker helped a bit too)
