Domingo Gallardo Molina was anything but crazy. Tuco sensed something but couldn't pin anything on him. Hector knew Domingo had to be taught a lesson so he had Nacho administer a beating but Lalo was blinded by his own ego. In Better Call Saul S5E2, Domingo clearly knowing that he had the winning hand, wisely folded rather than humiliate his boss. Lalo's hubris was to ridicule Domingo with his hand of eights dubbing him Ocho Loco (translation: Crazy Eight), a reference to the old Section 8 discharge of soldiers mentally unfit or otherwise unsuitable for military service.

Krazy-8 with his business degree made a lasting impression on Walter White in Breaking Bad S1E3 even garnering an indirect reference in the El Camino flashback when Walt tries to guide Jesse towards a business degree.
