Friday, the 25th 2022: Flynn spent 9 hours solo in Angry Bird driving from Home to Redding, CA. It was a beautiful drive, below freezing for most of it, yet sunny with blue skies and gorgeous views. (The pix kinda blows cause it’s tough to take photos with a cell phone while driving in a…
Portland Meadows ~ 1st Visit
Many weeks ago Flynn & Ollie had the opportunity to spend a few hours in Portland, OR. Hard to believe, but they have never visited an Oregon card-room (indian casinos notwithstanding). Most of their time in Oregon is spent driving through to sunnier weather, or headed to the coast with the RV. Portland is NOT…
Poker Apparel – Vlog & Celeb Swag Page
In an attempt to help out their fellow poker-degenerates, the F&O Chronicle has added links to a few poker swag & apparel sites to make it easier for our readers to make purchases. The focus is on poker celeb & vlogger merch, but we will add more if our public demands it. The links are…
Oct ’21 – Stones and Thunder Valley
Bonus content for our readers! Flynn had a long drive back to the homestead, and yesterday the overnight option was Sacramento / Roseville specifically so he could check out the Stones Gambling Hall and Thunder Valley Casino’s poker room. All went according to plan. He hit Stones in the early afternoon, and perused the list…
LV Oct ’21 -Day 12 – Final day :(
Thursday the 21st: Vegas is hoppin’. The EDC is in town along with several other conventions and events (Raiders, etc) this weekend. The Southpoint is crazy with decked out cowpersons participating in their rodeo. It is awesome to see business almost back to normal. This includes traffic. Flynn saw two gnarly car wrecks this day:…
LV Oct ’21 Day 11 ~ Flynn plays dirty
Wednesday Oct 20th: Flynn slept late (a Vegas thing), and didn’t make it to the Bellagio until 1pm ish. This is about the time of day the place starts to amp up. Flynn bought a ton of chips cause he is a baller now, and sat down to wait at a table next to Bobby’s…
LV Oct ’21 – Day 10: poker and some chow
Tuesday, the 19th: As per the new norm, Flynn puttered around the casa, the previous day’s blog got written, and he headed off to the Bellagio for some more 2/5 poker. Unfortunately for our readers, there is not a lot to report. It turns out one of his tablemates was Hasim Rahman, a world champ…
LV ’21 Day 9 – Wynning with peeps
Monday ~ one of the slower days for poker on the strip, except during the WSOP there is no such thing at any of the ‘big’ poker rooms. Flynn dallied around home for a few hours, catching up on two blogs, cashed out his NFL sports bets (a profit!) then headed out to the Wynn/Encore…
LV Oct ’21 – Day 8 – football & poker
Sunday – the 17th. While Flynn didn’t exactly rise at the crack of dawn, he did get up, loaded Angry Bird, checked out and hit the road – ultimate destination the Bellagio by the start of the 10 am football games. He managed to get a ff breakfast and a cold-brew on the way and…
LV Oct ’21 Day 7 ~ A win and some losses
Saturday the 16th: This was an odd day for Flynn and Ollie. Flynn opted to stay at the nest and get caught up on blogs and some other personal business. He is not much for taking care of ‘business’ while on vacataion, but sometimes a bird has got to do what a bird has got…
