Players are suppose to immediately show their hand once going all-in and the table has called. It was a pretty dumb scene tbh, seems like they could have cut to scene mid-game and he could have asked people what they had and then forced them all-in knowing he had a better hand. That would have made sense.


Killgraves often does things semi-legitimately.

The point was, he wanted them to go all in no matter what. He can't control what cards he has, thus the only way for him to win the money (semi-legitimately), was for them to go all in.

Whether you can or cannot fold after going all in, doesn't really matter in this situation.

Kind of does.. it's not legitimate if you're completely breaking the rules of the game lol. It wouldn't have taken much effort to have that scene make sense.

That's why I said he works in a semi-legitimate manner. He could just ask them to give him their money. He could have just asked the Asian guy to give him the house.


He doesn't need to fully play by the rules....which is why having everyone fold except for him, doesn't really matter .

No he couldn't have just asked for the house, or once his effect wore off there would be a lot of legal issues. He had to do it legitimately.

The money he could have just walked in to take, but after you go ask in you flip your cards face up... You are all in, riding the line. No folding afterwards.

He can do whatever he wants....that's why I said he does everything semi-legitimently.

You don't get it, he doesn't have to play by the rules......its clearly as simple as that.

Except when he wants to do something which requires a lot of legal work like buying a house.

Hmmmm. Read it again and understand....


I said he COULD HAVE. He could have just had the Asian guy give him the house without paying for it, but since he does everything semi-legitimently, he worked out the contract and offered him a deal he could not refuse.


He could have drawn up the papers and forced the guy to sell at market price, far below what he ended up giving him.
