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 12 – Ouch! At Bellagio
As this day, a Monday, was to be Flynn and Ollie’s last day in Sin City, and a they had no specific plans for the day, they decided to do exactly as they wanted to do, when they wanted to do it. Therefore, Ollie took Angry Bird to the Orleans to play O8 8/16, and…
Las Vegas March ’22, Day 7, Back from Brink
This was the day! Flynn awoke excited, as this very evening Ollie was arriving in town. While Flynn is an independent avian, it is much better to have his best-friend with him to share in their adventures. Full of hope and a positive outlook, Flynn hit the Bellagio. The conservatory is under re-do, and the…
LV March ’22 Day 3 – Bellagio
The author wishes there were exciting things to report from the Bellagio Poker room on this Saturday, but there really are no significant items of note. Unless getting completely destroyed the last half of the session counts, but we consider that sad, not exciting. The late morning started off ok, got a seated immediately at…
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…
