I had a Pair run and pivoted to include Two-Pair synergy too. Throughout the run, I upgraded Pair a lot (Lvl 10 or so) and Two-Pair barely. If I play a Two-Pair, does the multiplier only trigger as if I played a Two-Pair or does it also trigger the Pair multiplier? Trying to figure out it if makes sense to invest in the pants joker or if I run the risk of losing because I don’t rack up enough points.

Thanks!

Edit: Ended up not going for Two-Pairs, unless I had to because of boss blinds, and got to 11/8. Pretty good :)

The multiplier in game info only applies to the hand played. Otherwise every hand would trigger also high card multipliers. For example flush house would trigger flush house, full house, flush, threes, pair, two pair and high card and that would be broken.

The hand being played is shown on the left under the multipliers.

Makes sense. I wasn’t sure because Two-Pair also procs individual Pair jokers too even though it’s a “Two”-Pair

Jokers usually have wording like “contains a Pair”. Two Pairs contains a Pair but isn’t a Pair itself

The most frustrating one is that 4 of a kind does not trigger two pair

No, when you play something like two pair or a full house you don’t get the base value of the one pair.

But if you have a joker that says +chips/+multi of played hand contains a pair than yes, it will give the value of the Joker when when playing a full house or two pair.

Even a flush will do that if you have pair in hand. Example all spade’s with two nines.
