Yeah, the hands are what make poker dangerous...

My concern with poker has to do with betting, and therefore risk-taking, and Balatro doesn't have that. Learning how poker hands work is an academic exercise, and I absolutely encourage it, since it's such an important cultural thing (i.e. shows up in lots of movies).

So yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
