James Holzhauer Jeopardy Appreciation Thread

Watching Jeopardy now just isn’t as fun without James competing [emoji24]

I agree, I miss him

At this point I’m facing the fact that he may have “ruined” the show for me for a while—Just is hard to watch without him haha. I guess I just need a little break from Jeopardy lol

It is fun to watch someone keep going like that, though I did find him a little...different. I am convinced that he "threw" that last Final Jeopardy. His wager was completely uncharacteristic. Had he done his usual, he would have kept going.

That is super cool!

Love this too. He'd be an excellent poker ambassador (well, I guess he already is).

I originally thought exactly the same thing, but then I read some interviews with him about that last game and his wager. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...oots-conspiracy-theories-after-loss/39542011/

I did not know that player but thanks for the data. Now I will look it up on the web to know its style of play.
Greetings.

Hello!! I have not had a chance to see him play or listen to the interview a real shame cordial greetings ...

Well he busted the tag team yesterday , but I’m hoping that he’ll play the main and make a deep run!

I never liked him. He was very smug. Liked seeimg him lose. Also glad he lost the WSOP game.

Interesting, I know some people def felt this way about him but hadn’t heard any poker players say this before. Always interesting to me how the same person can strike two different people in opposite ways—he never struck me as smug personally, confident at times for sure but I felt like that was well deserved haha

 

[Katie Dozier]

Joey—I know there are def quite a few people that felt that way too! It’s always interesting to me how two people can have very different opinions about the same person haha At least one of us is happy then!
