Just to remind the faithful readers, Flynn and Ollie spent the Jolly-days in the fine locale of Clark County. Lest you forget, we didn’t actually go to Las Vegas, which is north of the ‘strip’ down by the Strat. Strangely enough, the critters have been here for 6 weeks and have yet to set foot…
Poker – Back to the regularly scheduled
week of poker-ing. The editor attempts to write this at 0500 am, with a cat bound & determined to stay warm and as close as possible, while remembering exactly where Flynn played and what the outcome was. Thank goodness for the poker tracker (Poker Analytics), so we can look back and be reminded of Flynn’s…
Poker and Positivity ~ ‘Tis the Season
As the editor pens this story on a top floor of a luxury hotel, reveling in the stunning view, she is reminded of how very fortunate Flynn and Ollie are to live the lives they do. They live on a carefully crafted budget, and generally without excess. Yet, they here they sit, with views to…
Poker LV – The Rest of the Week
Dec 6-12th, 2023 Happy reading. Or scanning. Or Skipping. Wednesday : Aria was the choice of the day, as Flynn needed to get some hours logged in to maintain MGM Gold status. Turns out the hour count does not end until the end of January, so he is golden (ha ha) on that account. No…
LV March ’22, Day 8 – Status Quo
Flynn and Ollie awoke early this day and headed out to the remote wilds of the desert to a ghost town called Pahrump. They went there to scout potential future home sites, which seem to be a bit more affordable than the mega-city of the LV area. In reality Pahrump is a full on town/city…
LV Trip Report March ’22, Day 6 – Grrrrr
The noon poker of choice was the Aria for some 1/3 while Flynn waited for some friends to arrive. He had high hopes for a comeback from his previous visit there, however no such thing happened. Multiple flopping of worlds followed by turn & river sending him to cold, dark, lonely space. No one would…
Trip Report, Las Vegas March 2022
Faithful readers of the Chronicle know that road trips are frequent. So, while this report will cover “Day 1” of poker in LV, it is really day something-or-another of this trip for Flynn. Flynn and his handler hit town on a Wednesday afternoon. For some unknown reason (guesses about the size of the tip), they…
Day 7 LV Trip report – Wednesday
Ollie headed off to the Orleans to play 8/16 O8. Flynn refuses to play there, and opted to take a walk prior to hitting the tables near home. Wednesday was the coolest day predicted during the entire trip so he took full advantage of the ‘cool’ temps. A few observations: To those who says ‘Vegas…
Day 6 – Tuesday LV Trip report
There is not a whole lot to report this day from the city of Las Vegas. Okay, you caught it, F&O really spent their time in the Paradise casinos instead. First stop in the (late) morning was the stroll to the Bellagio to start a new 2/5 game. Flynn just hung out and did his…
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…
