Playing on the gold stake, I think I don't make it past the first ante like 80% of the time. I might be too greedy or just bad at the game, but in StS I can make a decent run on ascension 20 at a much higher rate.
You should be able to play Flushes, Straights, or Full Houses and win in the first Ante without any buffs. Does the -1 hand size from Gold Stake really hurt that much?
Finding two of those hands with a smaller hand and fewer discards is much harder. I could be miscalculating odds for sure though.
