As most of our readers know, Flynn and Ollie have departed Sin City for northern parts of the USA. They spent some time in one of their other ‘homes’ near Yosemite, and then travelled NE to the SW of SD. Basically, they covered all the directional letters, hitting poker rooms in Reno and Elko on…
Poker – Ugh, Jealousy rears its ugly
It is probably not a well-known fact that this website seems to get more readers when it posts about poker drama.
