    That was not a lie by Tesla with the 2 of diamonds, he thought his Q was good.

    He should be called “reverse tesla” or “ Tesla inverse”
    His pnl graph is inverse of Tesla’s stock graph

    Poker shows need more cows like that to make things interesting. He managed to melt Doug's brain.

    I am guessing this Tesla character has money to burn. I would kill to get in a game with a player like him. He will win a few big Pots on pure dumb luck, but he will Spew out a LOT more.

    Doug, you have to play the player. You know Tesla plays any two random cards. When he shows the D2, the other card is still a random card. There are five cards that beat you. What are the odds?
