Lest our readers are lead to believe that the Chronicle only trolls Twitter and plays poker, let us get on with another short travel post. The past two weeks have found us with an occasional day off combined with nice weather (meaning no rain, few clouds). Rather than donk off good weather doing something productive,…
Muckleshoot Poker Trip Report
A few days ago Flynn and Ollie found themselves at the Muckleshoot Casino, in the temporary poker room. This in itself is an oddity, as the last time they were there the experience was not the best ~ very smokey, had to walk to the main cashier cage to get and cash out chips, disgruntled…
Postle @ Stones Controversy
As always, we here at the Chronicle like to weigh in on the current poker drama. Our topics almost always originate from Twitter, and we may or may not do some follow-up research on other mediums. Well, this topic is a doozy. Did Postle cheat while playing on live streams at Stones Poker? Clips have…
WPT Tournament Debate: To Chop or not to Chop?
Since the Chronicle likes to chime in on all things poker-controversy, here goes: No chops. If the game of poker is to be considered skill and talent, then just stop the chop already. Otherwise, gee, let the Patriots and name-your-opposing-team declare themselves both winners of the Super Bowl. They can play sudden death for the…
More Pokering: To Fortune Poker We Went
In addition to having a short, losing, session at Palace/Chips in Lakewood this past week, Flynn and Ollie also had spring rolls and bar-b-que’d pork at the casino. They were excellent, and cheap. The poker ~ meh, not so good. Flynn played 4/8 limit, and slowly lost. Then Flynn switched to O/8, and quickly lost…
Venetian Poker Room ~ Tournament $ Debate
I almost titled this “Tournament $ Snivelers “, primarily because there has not been much posted on Twitter in favor of the structure for the V’s Lucky Shot Poker Series and Drawing. As the poker Twitter world is wont to do, much drama and name calling ensues, while very little balance is brought to the…
Palace Casino Trip Review
It has been two months since we have set foot in a poker room. Not for any particular reason, other than general life stuff was happening. So, when the opportunity arose for a quick session, the decision had to be made again as to where we were going to perch. This is always a dilemma…
Beach & Mountains
Since returning from the Great Vacation in mid June, Flynn & Ollie have managed to get around Western WA on a few different occasions. First off was a day trip to Ocean Shores, notorious for a nice, big sandy beach (not so common in WA). It is filled with the usual ‘beach tourist’ activities including…
More of LasVegas June 2019
Yes, the writers have been a little behind. The short story about Paris was very time consuming, so the second half of Flynn and Ollie’s Poker escapades fell to the bottom of the list. Here goes: Flynn & Ollie played a bunch of poker. There was cash game poker (1/3 NL), tournament poker, and drunk…
Facebook is Despicable
So, Flynn & Ollie decided to join facebook (<-not capitalized on purpose). F&O had been told many times that folks they may want to keep in touch with were only on this horrid, nasty, invasive app. It was easy to join. While creating the account and a page, however, (conveniently) for fakebook, it decided that…
