Is Baby Run Good Real? Beriuzy Thinks So!

Misclick That Brought Beriuzy $217,485

Semi-retired streamer and ex-GGPoker team pro Ryan Chamas became a dad of a baby girl in early summer 2026.

In the euphoria of long-awaited and happy parenthood, on July 13th, Beriuzy experienced a crazy sun run, caused — in his personal belief — by his daughter:

I misclicked entered the 5k bounty last second, a $2000 mistake. Ran like god to ship it & made FT of 10k GGPoker wtf Then i won 4 Dota games in a row??? Baby run good is real😂 Really though, nothing’s made me happier than my daughter smiling every morning 🥰 Have kids!

The misclick happened in a classic way: Beriuzy was watching the $5K tournament out of curiosity, decided to register for the $525 satellite for the GGMillion$ High Rollers, and simply mixed up the lobby. But then this mistake earned him $46,504 for winning the $5K tournament.

This sun run didn’t end there: Beriuzy finished the GGMillion$ final in the top 3, earning another $170,981 in prize money — and only further cementing his daughter’s ability to boost her dad’s luck.

For obvious reasons, his reaction to the 3rd place was even more emotional than to the initial victory:

Thanks for all the support in the stream <3. Very happy with the result. 3 mins after my bust, I changed a poopy diaper, made dinner for wife & watched House of Dragons. it felt great until I rocked my crying baby to sleep... That made this day truly unforgettable😭😭♥️

Looking at such success, it’s hard not to believe that Ryan’s secret wasn’t hidden in his daughter’s influence — especially when it’s partly true.

Babies Can Actually Bring Luck to Poker Players

As a happy new parent, Beriuzy regularly experiences a special kind of boost that helps him feel better overall, both mentally and physically. This makes playing poker easier, calmer, and more fun for three main reasons.

Production of “Good” Hormones

It has been scientifically proven that mentally healthy men who become fathers for the first time more often experience powerful hormonal changes that make them more suitable for contact with a vulnerable baby.

A decrease in testosterone, which promotes better emotional control, and an increase in the production of the “care hormone” prolactin and the “love hormone” oxytocin, together lead to young fathers becoming gentler and calmer, better at controlling emotions, and reacting more restrained to stimuli.

At the same time, increased cortisol heightens alertness and reaction speed, making men more sensitive to potential threats and discomfort in the child.

For a poker player, improved emotional control and a general mood boost, stimulated by hormones of love and care, are especially important. In such an elevated state, tilt is less likely, focus is higher, and setbacks in the game are much more easily tolerated.

Constant Flow of Positive Emotions

Interacting with a child brings a wealth of diverse experiences, especially when they’re yours and you’re living through everything together for the first time. This inevitably evokes a constant flow of positive emotions, which also helps to take many things more easily. The inherent negativity of poker — coolers and bad beats, poor performance from opponents and your own — is muted and less impactful in contrast to the powerful influence of a child’s presence in parent’s life.

Change of Priorities and Stress Factors

The arrival of a child in the family, the first steps in parenthood, a new level of responsibility, and other factors inevitably impact priorities. Comparative knowledge almost always works to a player’s advantage here, because no poker mistake entails the same consequences as potential parenting mistakes — and this makes them more bearable.

At the same time, a person begins to perceive events differently in terms of stress — since the child becomes the center of attention, any tense moments in poker are by default relegated to the periphery of mind, as the brain has other things to think about. This reduces their influence on decision-making, allowing players to avoid being controlled by them and think more clearly.

However, all this only works if the parents are happy, financially secure, and their biological mechanisms associated with parenthood are functioning properly. In other cases, having a new born baby can have the exact opposite effects.

Other Side of “Baby Run”

If a child is born when the family’s financial resources are limited and poker is the sole or primary source of income, the presence of another vulnerable and demanding family member can only increase stress levels. In such a situation, poker results become much more significant, making mistakes more acute and emotional control less manageable.

Moreover, if a child is restless and requires extra attention, poker becomes a burden because it interferes with childcare. The game becomes a strain, even if the other parent is caring for the child so the poker player can work, because the thought constantly flickers in the back of your mind that your attention is being focused on something trivial instead of the truly important part of your life.

Incidentally, even with a perfectly calm child, the desire to play poker can fade, because the arrival of a new life can trigger an identity crisis and raise the question of the usefulness of the player’s profession. What’s the point of poker if it doesn’t make the world a better place for my growing child? A disappointing answer to this question can easily turn a player away from the game.

Finally, it’s important to address a topic rarely discussed: grieving for old life. For some parents, the arrival of a child becomes a crucial dividing line between before and after — and not everyone welcomes the change that can’t be reversed. This affects a person’s mood and morale because every attempt to play poker can serve as a reminder of what you’ve “lost” — free time, the opportunity to play whenever you want, reduced responsibility and related stress.

For female poker players who have just become mothers, the shift in priorities and level of these changes is often even more dramatic, as they usually experience more biochemical changes than men, even to the point of completely rewiring their brain.

However, none of this means poker players shouldn’t have children — it’s just that before doing so, they need to critically assess their capabilities and potential changes, as well as mentally and physically prepare for the possibility that things might not go according to plan. And hope for the best outcome, in which the baby run good is real without any major downsides.
