Protoporos island - (but you are playing instead of Baku)

Friendless Game - (but you are playing instead of Yuuichi)

Contraband Game - (but you are playing instead of Akiyama)

Kira case - (but you are in L's position)

I decided to do a high quality post that could explain Lalo's feats in AP in a more simply way for those who wish to scale Lalo, an analysis of Lalo's feats performed in Air Poker, although I believe he had some potentially even better feats during Protoporosa Nightmare this analysis will fully focus on Air Poker.

To give readers who haven't read Usogui yet some context, Baku set up a perfect trap for Lalo during the previous arc, he made Lalo become Kaiser of the Protopors island but also calculated perfectly that Lalo should lose exactly one day before the deadline. Lalo countered Baku's plan and took a hostage (basically one vest Baku needed for victory) and challenged him to a neutral game that will determine who among them will proceed to STL and fight for gaining control over Kakerou. Air poker is a game where both Lalo and Baku will be submerged in a glass cell, and they will be betting in their Air essentially, their cards however will be only numbers carved on metal plates, and nobody told them what those numbers represent which number is more powerful.

Before the first round even started Lalo reached out and took extra air, he knew he would be in a more advantageous position even if he took one deep breath after Baku was submerged already.

Round 1 (aka Round of Luck)

Round 1 isn't really much, Lalo understood that thinking is not free while underwater, thinking requires oxygen. This is why he, without much thinking, used "15" and Baku following the same logic used "36". Baku, then raised by 2 AB's, but Lalo answered his raise with another raise by 2 AB's, deceiving Baku into thinking he already resolved the "law" of the game. Lalo won, and because Baku didn't raise again after this, otherwise he would've lost in the very first round...

Round 2 (aka Round of Strategy)

Lalo used 8 and Baku used 39, Lalo at this time drained his first AB, while Baku already spent two of the, Lalo is draining oxygen more carefully than Baku is, making advantage over him once again, since gap between their AB's Lalo is basically forcing Baku to bet his life on the line while Lalo doesn't have to risk his own. Baku (because Kaiji showed five fingers on a glass of this arena) resolved the law in the second round, Baku realized that the sum of 5 five cards from the deck make up a unique poker hand, and that the same cards that have been used already cannot be used again. Baku realized this because of a similar number of total cards in their hands and the number of cards in a standard deck. Baku went all in, betting all his AB's, being sure Lalo would lose. Lalo however expected this and now forced Baku to hold his breath for another 30 seconds while he was delaying the game by thinking. Lalo's objective here is just to kill off Baku as soon as possible, without giving him a chance of comeback. Baku started floating exactly after he won the round, he was basically dead at this point, however he regained his counciousness in 5 seconds after being basically dead.

Round 3 (aka Round of Choosing)

Now Baku resolved the Law, he started consuming oxygen like crazy, while Lalo was barely thinking right now. Baku then writes down with a metal card on a table "sum of 5 poker hands created from one deck", making Lalo aware of the law, dragging him down his territory of mind games. Now both of them started consuming oxygen like crazy, Lalo calculated each and every of 20 cards they used in past two rounds an realized Baku's ace card has to be "25", Lalo also calculated that 3 Aces have been used already, making it clear that he has only one Ace left to make Royal Flush (strongest hand combo), therefore he realized his best option and his ace card is 47. Lalo wants to destroy Baku's ace card 25 with his 47, while Baku's goal is baiting Lalo to use his ace card 47 and waste it on a round that's a certain loss for Baku... Lalo then bets 2 AB's instead of the limit of 3, Baku is completely shocked by this, and Lalo basically has lured Baku into the trap of "calling"... Lalo won, but his ace card was destroyed as expected, Lalo took the highest amount of AB's he could but that's not all. Suddenly calamity occurs and Baku lost 5 air bios, Baku's advantage disappeared because of overlapping cards, because Hal made a mistake. (Now this might sound confusing but two players are playing a specific game upstairs, they are making card combinations for cards Baku and Lalo have used in 100 seconds, with their minds only and with penalty of a deadly pain equal to being impaled/burned/torn apart ect... Hal is working with Baku while Fukuoru is working with Lalo). Lalo calculated overlapping of cards brilliantly. Lalo not only calculated that Baku's advantage will be cleared with the coming of calamity but also he took the highest amount of AB's he possibly could without Baku folding.

Round 4 (aka Round of Blind faith)

Lalo once again perfectly calculated that he only needed to win 5th round if he wants to win the match in the end. Lalo will use 63 to avoid having no possible combinations in the final round, while Baku ALMOST used his ace card 25, he did this because he foresaw that final round (with highest betting ante) would play out like this: Lalo's 44 against Baku's 26, where Lalo is guaranteed to win with his full house. Baku then on everyone's surprise used weaker 26, and kinda baited Lalo into raising the limit, but Lalo anticipated that and made maximum bet of all in. Obviously Baku folded leaving Lalo in a advantage once again. Baku blindly put all his trust into signaling Hal in a room above with VERY specific code only two of them could possibly comprehend.

Round 5 (Final round)

Lalo's 44 against Baku's ace card, 25, Lalo is in a pretty decent advantage in all amount of AB's, AB consumption and even with his cards on the field, Lalo's 44 was more powerful than Baku's ace card. Lalo realized it's in Baku's interest and that Baku wants to make this game of resilience and lower oxygen consumption instead of a game of numbers anymore, Lalo suspected Baku had set him up a trap so Lalo set one on his own, Lalo had bet only one singular AB to see if his suspicion was correct, Baku was shocked and went all in, betting everything he has left. Lalo then concluded that Baku indeed wants to turn this into game of resilience, he saw used AB's being right next to Baku's feet, concluding that Baku covered up his AB's and that he will use these discarded ones to outlast him in a final battle of endurance. Lalo then took a second thought, if Baku really saved oxygen there, why didn't he even look at that direction while he was literally dying in 2nd round? It made no sense whatsoever. This was however Baku's contingency from Handchopper arc, Baku sacrificed one of his fingers to bait Lalo into believing he is insane and that he would absolutely risk his life if it means defeating his enemies. Lalo misjudged Baku, Lalo's high intelligence and logical thinking led to his demise. Lalo's 44 surprisingly lost to Baku's 25, even if 44 was objectively stronger, Fukuoru was the reason Lalo truly lost. In the upper room when Baku signaled Hal, Hal lost on purpose knowing Fukurou will lose too, this way in this round Fukuoru was basically pushed against the wall, Hal lost on purpose during the last round so that he could use cards to make more powerful combination during the final round, into either playing with cards that would overlap and make Lalo, use weaker cards that would again make Lalo lose or take witch's pain... Fukuoru chose not to take witch's pain and make a weaker combo, resulting in Lalo's loss.

After Baku officially won he started swimming to air but Lalo took his leg and started dragging him down. This was his last attempt to make Baku lose also, then Lalo reached and used Baku's already used AB's believing Baku hid oxygen there, however... They were empty. Baku deceived Lalo and Lalo drowned.

Lalo lost the moment he misjudged Baku.
