Why does my if statement skip the body even when the response is true?

So I went and changed my code for some logging output. the console output is as follows

     public int CalculateScore (Player p)
     {
         score = 0;
         GetPlayerHand (p);
         CheckPattern ();
         for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
 //            counter += i;
 
 
             int[] j = new int[3];
             j [0] = patternCheck [i, 0];
             j [1] = patternCheck [i, 1];
             j [2] = patternCheck [i, 2];
 
             Debug.Log (TempPatternCheck [i]);
             if (TempPatternCheck [i] == true) {
                 Debug.Log ("inside (TempPatternCheck [i])");
                 Debug.Log (TempHand [j [0]].Definition.Text + " : " + TempHand [j [0]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold");
                 Debug.Log (TempHand [j [1]].Definition.Text + " : " + TempHand [j [1]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold");
                 Debug.Log (TempHand [j [2]].Definition.Text + " : " + TempHand [j [2]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold");
                 if (TempHand [j [0]].Definition.Text == "Joker" || TempHand [j [0]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold") {
                     if (TempValue [j [1]] == TempValue [j [2]]) {
                         //TempValue [patternCheck [i, 0]] = 0;
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 1]] = 0;
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 2]] = 0;
                     }
                 } else if (TempHand [j [1]].Definition.Text == "Joker" || TempHand [j [1]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold") {
                     if (TempValue [j [0]] == TempValue [j [2]]) {
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 0]] = 0;
                         //TempValue [patternCheck [i, 1]] = 0;
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 2]] = 0;
                     }
                 } else if (TempHand [j [2]].Definition.Text == "Joker" || TempHand [j [2]].Definition.Text == "PotOfGold") {
                     if (TempValue [j [0]] == TempValue [j [1]]) {
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 0]] = 0;
                         TempValue [patternCheck [i, 1]] = 0;
                         //TempValue [patternCheck [i, 2]] = 0;
                     } 
                 } else if (TempHand [j [0]] == TempHand [j [1]] && TempHand [j [0]] == TempHand [j [2]]) {
                     TempValue [patternCheck [i, 0]] = 0;
                     TempValue [patternCheck [i, 1]] = 0;
                     TempValue [patternCheck [i, 2]] = 0;
                 }
             }
         }
     
         for (int k = 0; k < 9; k++) {
             if (TempValue [k] > 10) {
                 score += 10;
             } else {
                 score += TempValue [k];
             }
         }
         TempPatternCheck.Clear ();
         return score;
 
     }
