I somehow lost a gold stake run on Erratic deck that started with 10 8's and 8 Kings. Jokers on game over were Rough Jem, Hanging Chad, Constellation, Blueprint, and Baron. I had 15 Kings of Diamond, 10 more Kings of other suits, 3 Kings were steel, and I was playing Flush House level 9 (Kings full of 8s). Best hand scored 1.5 million. Died on ante 8 Big Blind, couldn't draw enough steel kings.
I don't even know anymore. If you don't have a fist full of RSSK's by ante 3 then I don't think you can make it.

Lol yeah, that’s rough, those big blinds really escalate towards the end.
I knew this one wasn’t going anywhere, was just surprised it got as far as it did. I got very lucky with straights and very unlucky with jokers.
I’ve had one run earlier on, maybe around green or black that had Bull, cloud 9, rocket, blueprint and hologram. I don’t remember what ante it got up to, but I think it was around 3mil per hand, so if I can ever pull that setup again I’ve got a shot on plasma.

If you're trying Plasma gold stake, keep an eye out for Wee Joker. I have a hunch that it can scale hard enough if you thin/fill your deck with 2's and grab every Mars you can afford.
