Thanks, but his explanation makes sense. The way things worked out in that game, the second-place player was close enough to him that if the guy in second wagered smartly (which he did), Ken HAD to get FJ right to win, even if the guy in second missed. That's pressure he didn't have to face much in his streak.
The way things worked out in our game (notably Ken's big $6000 jump on a late Daily Double, plus another $6000 swing because I didn't know how to pronounce 'Katzenjammer'), I wasn't quite that close. Therefore, on a stumper, he'd still win. Objectively, you might say that I gave him a better run for his money the entire game, but by the time the dust settled, I wasn't quite close enough.
My great regret, as I've mentioned before, is that if I HAD been a little closer, I could have claimed the Malcolm jackpot!
