i beat this by spamming 2 of a kind lv 12, which i did by spamming it basically the whole run with a joker that gives me planet cards.
2 of a kind is extremely powerful. middling chips and mult, but very common to get, and scales really well with high value cards. get some jokers to help the mult and you can spam your way through most blinds, and even oneshot with ace or face cards and correct joker mults.
one big drawback: you *need* high discards or high hands, either way. just get rid of cards until you land a two pair that will get reasonable mults.
