The Painted Deck has a lot of disadvantages on higher stakes. Fewer Joker slots makes it harder for you to score enough points (and harder for you to hold on to money Jokers). On top of that, less access to Booster Packs makes it harder to get scoring from non-Joker sources.

However, the +2 Hand Size can be a huge boon as well. With the Painted Deck, you should be reaching for the higher scoring, higher value hands such as Straights and Full Houses which are not typically viable on the higher stakes.
