Yes its pretty simple and there's a cheat sheet you can look at any time to see combinations of cards, but if you can remember 4 symbols and count to 10 (or 14) you'll learn in no time! ^^

You don't need to know how to play poker to play Balatro. Balatro is about playing "poker hands" and game explains what poker hands are.

Balatro can teach you basics like mentioned "poker hands" but if you want to learn real poker then just learn it from internet.

I dont play card games at all, but you dont need to know poker at all. You can just check " Run Info " to know how to play.

of course! It just same as the 'poker game' by 'poker'

As others have said, the game contains a cheat sheet in the Run Info tab! But more generally than that, basic poker hands aren't terribly complicated.
A lot of them boil down to "play as many of the same cards as you can" These are your Pair, your Three of a Kind, and your Four of a Kind for the value, and then your Flush for the suit (a Flush has to be all five cards).
There's also a Straight, which is five cards' value "in a row." Keep in mind that the order after 10 is Jack, Queen, King, Ace. Ace also counts as "1" for doing A-2-3-4-5.
The other hands are combinations of these. Two Pair is two Pairs at once, Full House is a Pair and a Three of a Kind, and a Straight Flush is a Straight (as previously described) of all the same suit. There's also a Royal Flush, which is A-K-Q-J-10 of all the same suit (Balatro counts this as a Straight Flush for its scoring).
Hope this helps!

when people talk about poker, they are mostly talking about texas hold' em which is a more complex version of poker. balatro is based on 5 card poker which is very simple.
