Balatro

now that i think about it, what genre even is this game? deckbuilding roguelike?

Basically, but poker instead of fighting mobs

I'd say gambling roguelite is pretty close maybe as i have seen recently there being multiple games that are classic gambling games bade into roguelites. For example Luck be a landlord is another game i would put into this genre

Balatro is hardly anything like poker though. It really only re-uses poker hands and nothing else.
