    Not to speculate but did the boat have a Doomswitch? ;)

    It’s a term associated with online poker. Some players think the host has a doomswitch to control the outcome of games.

    Wow, right on.

    I haven't played poker in 36 years and only as a beginner back then, and way before any online poker was invented.o_O
