Jackie Jr getting a pass
If he didn’t call Tony at his house and wake him up he probably gets a pass but Tony pushes Ralph in that direction because he didn’t get his 7 hours.

he was a dead man once he entered the card game alongside Larry and Curly

Jackie was doomed, and after all the agita he caused, nobody was worrying about him. The fact that Tony dangled Jackie in front of Ralphie to force Ralphie to take charge showed Tony was not interested in the specifics at all.

This is where I’m not sure and I think it could go either way.
Tony kept saying things like “you’re a captain, I know you’ll make the right choice”
It kinda echo’d “god forbid anything should happen”

It's a line from Monty Python and Holy Grail.

He was doomed as soon as he decided to get in the game, talk nonstop about my father this and that, gather some druggies around him, and start letting Ralph piss in his ear. His whole existence was an inconvenience and a threat to Tony. T killed Chris for a lot less, and Chris he liked.

Tony giving Jackie Jr a pass would have them both dead in a coupla tree weeks.

Like Melfi so eloquently put it, he got squashed like a bug. This is what happens when you play games with the big boys.

He should've given Jackie a pass, just to rub Chrissy's natural canopy in it. Who the hell liked Sunshine anyways?

My mind boggles over how he would have gotten that nickname. Maybe everytime he walked into a room someone commented it’s like a ray of sunshine just entered? Wha, you never pondered that?

In that alternate universe, Jr. would've drowned in the penguin exhibit instead.
Either way, he's getting clipped, end of story!

He wasn’t sleeping he was…. Doing something, like when Carmine called him.
