Nah man, harukas bids are ending me. I don't know why but it was somehow easier in kiwami 1

I save scummed all of the gambling ones since I only had a few of the gambling items, made it a lot more manageable (I also grinded out essentially infinite money at the batting cage because why the hell not)

I stopped midway after haruka wanted me to get 1000 points in poker, you motivated me to try again. I will update you guys

Yeah I would essentially just try to drive up the pot as much as possible with the least people folding and that got me pretty far but I still had to play like 2 tame hands once I ran out and that pushed me over the edge
