I….I….I pulled it off? Offered a job today and will start on Monday. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW


I mean, congrats, and that will definitely soften the blow, but I still wouldn't try to keep this secret.

Oh yeah. I’m telling her everything tonight in the hospital.


Congratulations on the new job starting on Monday


Congratulations davo on the job and making a clean breast of it.


It’s one of those things where now IN HINDSIGHT, withholding the news of my firing was clearly the right decision. Imagine if I had stressed her out the night before her surgery for something that magically resolved itself three days later!

You’re telling me nobody knows where your old job was and/or the name of the company?

This has spy ish written all over it.


After you confess, Mrs Davo will have full trust in you and in the future she will never suspect that you could be withholding information from her. Well played!


Can this possibly b x-pirt level troll? I ask cuz no one IRL ackshually has this kind of thought process, right?

Can it? It does move along the same lines justifying a poker play afterwards.


Our new owners forget to pay the light bill?


yep, no tapatalk for me still either. I started off thinking I'd been banned for a relatively benign disagreement with someone in h&f but it seems the app is down


It seemed to be down but i went to that site "is it me" and they said it was not down. So I tried a bunch of "sh t"

Including deleting my cache (a pain because you have sign back in to most of your sites). And it came back but I think that was a coincidence. Turns out it was down

You’re just old JR. You don’t understand technology [emoji6]


It was pretty clearly a DNS issue, and when I could load other sites but not 2p2, it seemed obvious to me to do a whois, which revealed that the site registration had expired on the day.



I know that domain hosting company.


lol


See, this is the time when a lot of admins would put a calendar entry for to update the cert. Let's hope that happened.

Truth 😀


I won the dumbest hand of my life last night. Like, it’s so monumentally stupid I can’t even post a separate thread for it because everyone would just accuse me of trolling.

Behold this train wreck:

Blinds are $1-$2, but game is $2-$100 spread-limit, meaning the most you can raise is $100 over the previous bet.

THE HAND:

The $4 UTG straddle is on. There's a couple limps, the CO raises to $14, Button calls, I 3-bet to $50 in the SB....the Straddle cold-calls, limper cold-calls, and the CO calls. Ok 4-ways.

Flop Ac8h2h. I lead for $75. Straddle folds. Limper raises "max" to $175 and has $20 behind. CO folds. I put the limper all-in and he calls his last $20. Turn 4s, river 2c. He knuckles the table and says "you're good" and shows me 6h5h.

I table........

Kd4c.

DNS errors are the reminder


I don’t believe the hand. The constant appeals for attention are weird
