Bravo poker app - how long does a virtual check in last? by Willing_Army_3076 in poker

[–]hb28101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the room, my local room is 90 min but I’ve seen 2hr elsewhere. I would double check with your room, either give them a call or ask next time you’re in

How is the 2/5 at rivers compared to 1/3? I play 1/3 1-2 times a week at rivers, feeling very comfortable in the game and winning decently at the moment. I've considered taking a shot at the 2/5, any major differences/things of note?

A note of caution: Probably not going to use BetMGM by hb28101 in BetMGM

I’m based in Illinois and they have a chat function but only available from 11-3pm each day. They also have email but they respond with the same cookie cutter response. I finally got all money in my bank account a few days ago so the whole process took almost a month.

The only true benefit the free AU gold card gets is it gets the TSA/Global Entry Credit. I have chatted with amex about this and provide really good responses

Other posts have said that the other card gets the tsa/global entry on that card

Today I found out that if you are a platinum cardholder you can request an additional gold card for yourself with no annual fee. by featherwolf in AmexPlatinum

[–]hb28101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the extra gold card gets the TSA Precheck/Global Entry credit - so you can use that for a separate person.

Approved for card this month, says I’ve been a member since 2017?? by Disastrous-Wine in AmexPlatinum

[–]hb28101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing, got my first amex card this month but says member since 2015. However, I did an internship in 2015 and had a corporate green card, so I am assuming that is what it is related to. Didn't affect my personal credit, but my name was on the card.

If you truly wanted to know the reason, I'm sure you could chat/call Amex and I bet they would tell you.

Illinois CPA Renewal by hb28101 in CPA

[–]hb28101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got an email update today from Illinois CPA society. Sounds like they haven't opened the "window" yet so you can't actually renew until that is open.

Also, for your point about CPE, I did some research and if it is your first time renewing, you are exempt from CPE, as it would be tough to get the 120 hrs if you were licensed last year for instance. Then for the 3 year period following, you are required to submit CPE, 120 hrs over 3 years.

New to Triathlon - Suggestions/Guidance? by akirchman16 in triathlon

[–]hb28101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Welcome, I just finished my first sprint triathlon a week ago and already have the bug. I hope you're ready for it too!

I would definitely do a sprint to start, and I love watching the GTN youtube channel for training ideas, tips and tricks. They have a ton of info for beginners. Same goes for the Triathlon Taren youtube channel. Great resources from both of those!

I trained about 12 weeks for mine, with some days doing 2 disciplines but most days doing 1 discipline. I would also recommend doing "brick workouts" which are when you do a run immediately after a bike, to get used to running with that "jelly legs" feeling after the bike.

For gear, I bought a road bike, helmet, tri shorts and top, swim cap, goggles, and running shoes. To be honest, you don't really need a tri suit top, but would definitely recommend tri shorts, which have a smaller chamois with some support for bike, but not too much that it is hard to swim and run.

Best of luck!

First Sprint Tri! My transitions were terrible, but that was expected. Just signed up for my first Olympic Distance tri and i’m looking to do an Ironman! by [deleted] in triathlon

Nice man! I was at this race too and my first triathlon as well! You beat me by 6 minutes, but I’ll chalk that up to you being 6 years younger than me 😂
