Jack Rivers Poker says heart attack game. You did well. A couple of leaks to plug and you still could have won even with the queen's cooler. Good job. Overall though, I came in second to last. But they have a thing called the luck distribution and I had zero. It was absolutely merciless. There are a few spots I thought that I could have done better, but it's funny because everyone's always telling you what you should have done but not taking consideration what's going on in the room and things they can't see or can't notice. You're probably right though, Jack. But what I would say is I'm actually proud of myself in that game. There was a. I probably did the wrong thing, but did the right thing. There was a point where I was card dead for two hours. Meaning like you're just not getting playable hands. And so I'm just mocking. Eventually you can't just sit there and do nothing. Plus, I do want to stress this to everybody that watched. We were asked to to be a little crazy. They, you know, they intentionally were like, don't take it super seriously. This is not a tournament. Have fun and be goofy. That's why I did a blind bet of $100 because I was like, okay, let's make something entertaining for the show. Ended up with queens. Romulo at aces. It was still kind of obvious because it went raise to a thousand, race to 27. I look at queens, so I knew he probably was on a big pair or something. But I'm like, what are you going to do? Fold queens? I could have, but you know, I rolled with it. But there was one point where I looked down at deuce 5 off suit, which is trash. Never play it. Don't listen to me, don't play. Play it. But I figured I would try to make some bluff attacks. So I figured I'd call hope. Hopefully the board comes low. Then the people who, who raised are going to be over the top and I can try and bluff them out of the Pot, which I had success in in a previous. Previous moment. What ends up happening is the board comes out. I think it was like, what was it? Deuce 35? No, no, no, no. What did I have? I. Deuce five. So I was deuce, deuce 36. So I hit the pair of deuces. Needed a four for the strip straight. Romulo is playing, and he makes a bet. And I call because I'm like, I think my pair is probably good. He's probably doing a continuation bet, meaning his hand is above the board, and he's just trying to look. I'm the aggressor. I got the best hand. The four comes out, giving me the straight, which at this point is the second best possible hand. So I'm thinking, okay, my pair might have been good. If he's got, like, ace, king, ace, queen, NES, combo. I'm probably dead to any pair. But, you know, I could always fold. At this point, I'm thinking, well, now I'm good. But then he barrels, and I'm looking at him, and I'm thinking, like, he's got five, seven. He's got the one hand that beats me right now. My luck was running so bad. I'm like. I could tell from look in his eyes. There was this, like, incredulity that he could not believe. He had this. This. The absolute nuts. And so he bets. I call. The river comes out. I think it was a king. And then he bets 700. And I go. And I grab 700, and I call. And he goes, I got the nuts. And he flips over 5, 7. I flip over 25 for the second nuts. And he goes, holy crap. You. You. You lost the minimum. He's like, you. Why didn't you raise? I'm like, because I knew you had it. I was like, soul read. I knew that he had that. My second nuts were good, and I got a lot of praise for that, despite losing, like, fifteen hundred dollars in the hand that I didn't raise. And then he jams, and then I lose everything. I just called because I was just looking at the way he was playing the bet he was making, and I thought in my head, he's got the look of somebody who's not concerned at all. He was like, I won that. That's. That's the. So it wasn't like that he had aces or anything like that. I'm like, he's got. He's got the nuts. And so I walked out of the room, and I was like, I didn't do the worst But I had a lot of people being like, dude, that hand. Oh my God, how did you get out of there? And I was like, good read, I guess. So despite the bad luck in some areas, I had some good luck, good, some good play. But I probably could have, I think if I'll tell you how bad I was running. I had jacks. I raise. Haley calls me with King 6 off suit because she's nuts. And the board comes 7, 8, 9 of spades. Give me the gut shot, straight flush draw. But she's got the one liner to the, to the king high flush with a six of clubs. And she jams all in. And I'm like, I'm over the board with, with, with the, with the, the flush redraw and gut shot, straight flush. So I'm like, okay. I call. She says, you want to run it twice? I say yes, because I'm more interested in just playing the game long term. We're doing like four hour stream than just winning money. She hits the five and it's a straight on the first board. She was absolutely the minority position. I, I should have 80% chance to win or something like that. She still hits it. Fortunately for me. I said we'll run it twice. We ended up chopping the pot, but that's how insanely bad I was running. Miserable.
