I've not played Balatro. I can see how three wildcards could turn this into a straight or a flush, but not a straight flush. How?
The ace isn't scored here, but even if it was, if you had 4/5th of a straight and 4/5th of a flush, it's still a "straight flush".
In other words, if the 7 of Clubs was actually a 2 of Clubs, it still counts.
Pretty sure the ace is actually scored as part of a five card straight here, skipping the K, 10, 8.
Yeah I was tired when I wrote that original comment.
There’s the
7-9-J-Qfour card straight flushThere’s also the
A-Q-J-9straight, but I think it doesn’t count as a straight flush.I dunno, I am always pleasantly surprised when things are actually straight flushes with those two jokers
Sorry, I misspoke. It's still scored because if either set is 4 or 5 cards, it's scored.
You can have a straight on one end and a flush on the other end, and as long as at least 4 cards are in either set, it's still a straight flush. And all cards that work with either set counts in scoring.
