I found this was best achieved by using the checkered deck (unlocked by wining a run at black stake) you start with only hearts and spades in your deck, then focusing on only flush runs, and using joker/tarot cards that buff flushes or heart/spade cards.

Judging by forums and personal experience, the easiest deck to master at the highest level of difficulty is a two-suited deck. Its features:
1. With a probability close to 50%, starting right from the first hand, you can play flushes that give about 300 points without jokers. This allows you to skip the first two battles, collect two tags and still pass the boss in 2-3 hands, moving to the second ante with strong bonuses.
2. You immediately understand the combination around which the game will be built and can improve flushes and take the corresponding jokers right from the initial phase of the game
3. Several boss blinds stop working against you at once. We are talking about blinds that disable diamonds and clubs (you don't have them), force you to play 5 cards (you will anyway), force you to choose one card (50% that you will play it anyway). That is, about 20% of boss blinds will be just regular battles.
