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 ’21 Day 6 ~ all-day poker
Friday, the 15th: Up at the crack of 9:30, Flynn and Ollie rushed through the morning routine in order to hit the tables at Bellagio. The lesson had paid off from earlier in the week, they got on the call-in list, they were there by 11:00 am and bought lots of chips to cover any…
LV Oct ’21 – Day 4 – all poker
Wednesdasy, Oct 13th: After a nosh and publishing in the morning at the house, F&O went with their standard entertainment plans for Las Vegas -> hitting the tables. Flynn got dropped off at the Bellagio, while Ollie headed to the South Point to play some 4/8 Omaha. This was at 1100 am. Ollie got into…
LV – Day 9 (Friday) and Beyond
Yes, this is a bit late, but tough luck. And, it’s been so long, and so many drinks ago, that Flynn barely remembers what he did this day. No doubt he drank coffee and wrote a blog in the morning before heading to the Bellagio to play (again) some 2/5. Ollie went with him. Ollie…
LV Trip report Day 5 – Monday
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 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…
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 10
Tuesday, the slowest day on the strip and in the poker rooms. There was no hurry to get out and get going because there were no games, except a few outlying places like South Point and the dreaded Orleans. Not in the mood to saddle up the horse, he just wandered over to the Aria…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 9
Monday, after wild-card weekend in Las Vegas during a pandemic. One would think the place would be dead. Nope. There are still tourists here, gawking and taking selfies. Here is the glorious part: there are not very many of them. Flynn saw the Bellagio fountains from the rail, with no one within 50 feet from…
LV 01/21 , Episode 2
Monday: (we only mention this to remind ourselves, as it is so easy to lose track of days when one is a drunk, poker playing degenerate). After a leisurely morning (okay, to afternoon) in the room, recovering from the night before, Flynn headed over to the Bellagio via the shortcut, which took him through the…
