Master the Big Blind in Balatro Ante 1. Learn how to leverage Jokers and plan your discards effectively to achieve winning hands like Three of a Kind or strong.

The Big Blind in Ante 1 has a slightly higher score requirement. You might need a Three of a Kind or a strong Two Pair to clear it comfortably. If you have a Joker from the first shop, try to leverage its ability. For example, a Joker that boosts a specific suit or rank can guide your hand choices. Remember to check your remaining discards and plays; sometimes it's better to discard for a better hand than to play a weak one.
