How about no? I've won more games with High Card, Pair, Full House, 5-of-a-kind than Flush ever lol.

How many wins do you have only going for flushes:riddle:

I have 13 with Flush and 1 with Three of a Kind / Full House.

Flush is the easiest and most consistent way to win imho so I just tend to go for it.

Flush is the easiest way to coast through low difficulties but it's not a good hand type for reliably making real points on higher difficulties or on higher Antes. The only Jokers it synergizes with are the ones that add flat multipliers for suit type and those drop off in scaling power quickly.

I'm at 31 wins across two profiles, with a third of those on blue-orange and some gold on my "unlock everything" profile, and 5 of them in challenges.
I think maybe 6 of those wins were using flushes as main scoring hand, four of them on the checkered deck.

The most consistent way is to play what the jokers you get dictate. Flush has crummy inherent score and The Tribe sucks, so you're likely to lose if you don't get either ideal jokers for it or could have won with any other hand just as easily (for instance high level fortune teller/ride the bus). Duplicating one or two specific ranks and using the other 5-card hands is almost always easier than pure flush, and as has already been said you usually want less cards per hand on higher difficulties. Especially with supernova.

Oh look, another person who's fallen for the Flush trap of thinking they're the best.

Just played a nice Flush build. Smeared Joker, 4 Flush/Straight, 2 Even Steven with 1.5x mult, x3 mult if all are Clubs/Spade, x3 if hand was already played, x1.5 for each uncommon (4) Joker.

Guess what, at some point my pair made more points than a flush.

There are a lot of hands worth more and there are plenty of boss blinds which work against flushes. I find flush usually falls off lategame unless I have a great setup for it(same can be said for most any hand).

There's plenty of other viable hands to build around like full houses, pairs, even high card (in fact some of my strongest runs have been high card builds). If you find yourself only going for flushes, that's your own fault, not the devs'. That said, in ante 1 flush is often the best hand to go for to end rounds in the fewest hands.
