Can't Lalo's hand be 4 4 K K K if this conflict is resolved by Baku's hand getting prioritized (for some reason)? That would eliminate Baku's straight flush because there will be no more 4's left. Someone correct this retarded idea of mine please
Edit: Then if Baku folds thinking that Lalo's hand is strong as shit anyway, he'd end up losing all the remaining rounds since he'd have no ace hand left, so now he actually has to bet in case of some fuckery that is probably out of their hands now. I wonder what convoluted calculation Lalo came up with to arrive at betting 2 bios. I dunno I'm probably missing something very simple
Edit2: Yeah this theory is retarded if it needs to be the strongest hand possible, my bad
Edit3: Fuck, if it's the strongest hand possible then doesn't that take away participation from Hal vs Fukurou? They don't have to do shit then. So what if the referees tell them the number, if it's just the strongest one possible then what do they even do? They can't "make a mistake" either, as Shion said. At least with the choice to decide what hand to form, as long as they form one, they can actually "play".
