Up and at ’em before noon. Flynn meandered over to the Bellagio bright and early (11 am) to feel out the list for 2/5 (gulp) as he was feeling frustrated by the no-fold-em hold-em that was the norm in 1/3. It was time to move up for sure and dip the toes in the deeper…
LV Trip Report, Sunday – day 4
Since arriving in LV, F&O had been staying at the South Point. This day was moving day, so F&O forced themselves to get packed up and schlep all their stuff to Vdara. As they had about 6 bags of stuff, this is a logistics problem relating to check-out times vs check in times, and the…
LV Trip report Day 3 – Saturday
Saturday is the busiest day of the week in LV, which means strategizing one’s plans either well in advance, or punting. Flynn and Ollie opted to punt. They didn’t emerge from their lair until after the noon hour (see, adapting nicely to LV time) and they needed sustenance. There was no way they were going…
LV Trip Report Day 2 – Friday
Bleck. To summarize the day, Flynn lost $ both places he played. First at PH, and second at Bellagio. Flynn knows this is normal, as poker is a fickle mistress. However, if this keeps up, he will be busted in 3 days and have to spend all his time holed up in his room watching…
Getting to Vegas, Day 1 round-up
Made it to the Bay Area – spent time with family and (naturally) doing envy passes on the SF Bay in front of Pier 39 for all the tourists on the Quixote sailing ship. While F&O had just done the same thing last month, and had originally intended another route this trip, it turns out…
Lamenting the Losses of Las Vegas
Here is the question: What is the difference between the Wynn, Bellagio, and Aria? They are all very nice hotels, with pretty water features, but…. How about the Luxor, Paris, or Mandalay Bay? Each has location based décor, but…. But in reality, most LV casinos are the same. They have rooms, fancy restaurants, shopping, a…
Feeling the urge to write – topic?
The editor of the Chronicle is ready to create another very opinionated article. The question is what our faithful followers would like to read about. Frankly, this Covid crap has Flynn and Ollie’s day-to-day life as boring as watching people playing on-line poker ~ no travel, no poker, no noteworthy restaurant experiences to relay. So…
DNegs vs Polk & a Zamboni
Yes, the Chronicle spouts-off often about the glaring differences between Real (live) Poker and Not-Real (online Cozen) poker, and this article is no different. However, we are asking for legit clarification from anyone as to why Daniel Negreanu would ever agree to the heads-up challenge terms currently in play. Like him or not (we do);…
LV 1/21 ~ Ep #12 – Last Day
We here at the Chronicle realize this is two days late, but resuming normal life has been rather time consuming. If you have lost interest, we understand, but here goes anyway: Flynn awoke at the usual time on Thursay, had some awful coffee, packed up and checked out. He still had enough moolah on hand…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 11
Golly, gee whiz. Not much to report of interest other than Flynn ended up sitting at the Aria for 8 hours or so, winning 5 hands (he kept track), and losing some more clams. If you want to read the blow-by-blow, follow the Twitter account, cause he was so bored & frustrated, he began tweeting…
