Show notes

The turkey coma edition of the Ante Up Poker Podcast begins with me talking about the last night in Kansas before heading back to the East Coast. If you haven’t already joined our socials, you should because it promises to be an entertaining trip, and we will document it there.

On “Table Talk” this week, Elle and I talk about another Table Talk variety, the Vegas Monorail, F-1 and Doug Polk Controversy. Elliott rules on a situation on “Call the Floor” where the dealer made a “verbal as binding” call, but was it the correct one. Patrick and I go over a hand that he played originally in our Patreon Game this week in “HOTW” Then I end the show with “Joe’s One Outer” talking about the things in poker that I am thankful for.

Show notes

I start the show talking about the upcoming road trip, and reflect on how far we have come with Ante Up. Elle joins me again on “Table Talk” where we talk poker as a “Mind Sport” and about Jonathan Little’s question “If you could change one rule in poker what would it be?” Commercial gaming revenue is up and HCL has a new 24/7 poker streaming network. We also tease a review that we have coming up in the December issue of the magazine. We talked with Sara O’Connor about her new book, “A New Queen’s Guide to Poker”. Here is the link to the book. Check it out.

In this week’s “Call the Floor” Elliott rules on a situation where a dealer turned away from the action and it resulted in a chop pot. You have to listen to see how that one got messed up.

“HOTW” this week has Patrick and I playing a AT suited in the Small Blind and Joe just hopes he is not the villain in the hand.

As always, I end the show with “Joe’s One Outer” where I talk about Thanksgiving traditions.

Chapter 2 Ep. 41 Bigger Boat Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

I start the show talking about the Patreon Game from last night and Mal Embarkment or Dis-embarkment syndrome. I literally left after recording the intro to pick Elle up from the airport. She joined me for “Table Talk” where we discuss the Sahara closing their poker room, and a study by BetMGM about online casino games. It looks like we may be making a trip next year to the Irish Poker Open, and we talked about what may be my new playground with Bally’s building a hotel/casino connected to the new A’s stadium in Vegas.

***Disclaimer*** I said I was going to root for the Yankees in the World Series, but actually I think I’m just going to root for the whole series end in a tie somehow.

This week’s “Call the Floor” involves a high hand promotion and whether the winner of the high hand actually made the call or not.

Our “HOTW” is a crazy one when we flop a full house with the Big Blind special. Then I end the show with my “One Outer” reminding everyone on a poker vacation to remember the vacation part of that equation.

Chapter 2 Ep. 38 Politics, Playoffs & The Wheel of Punishment Oct 04, 2024

Show notes

I start the show with a shoutout to the Kansas City Royals for making it to the next round of the playoffs and making Patrick spin the Wheel of punishment. On “Table Talk” Elle and I get into Betting on politics, the political battle over a casino in Illinois, getting ready for the cruise, and the disaster relief happening around us. On this Week’s “Call the Floor” Elliott talks rules on a situation where the river was put out before the last player acted. Our “HOTW” this week has Patrick and I playing pocket K’s from the button. How can we possible lose this hand? That leads me into the end of the show where “Joe’s One-Outer” has me discussing the possibility of out-thinking a downswing.

Chapter 2 Ep. 37 Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Bad Beats Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

I start the show talking about the storms the last few days, and the best readers of the magazine to date. I also put an all call out for HOTW and Call the Floor submissions. You can actually hear the rain pelting the windows as Elle and I record “Table Talk”. We review “Dead Money”, the new poker movie. Elle gives the history of Bourbon Heritage Month, and talks jigsaw puzzle competitions. We also learned that there is a 45 minute flight in Las Vegas equipped to help you join the Mile High Club. On the “Call the Floor” segment a situation comes up where the dealer spreads the deck into or onto the muck and Elliott talks about his ruling there, but also about dealer training. Our “HOTW” has us coming into the SB position but buying the blinds, and facing a big raise pre-flop with QJ off suit. I end the show with “Joe’s One Outer” talking about patience.
