Show notes

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Elle and I are hitting the road — literally! We’re recording from the highway on our way to the Maker’s Mark Star Hill Farm in Kentucky. Along the ride, we dive into how Poker Power is teaching high school girls valuable life lessons through the game of poker, and discuss a fascinating Wired story where a journalist teams up with a hacker to uncover potential security flaws in automatic card shufflers.

On Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a wild situation involving a full-on chip-throwing meltdown that has to be heard to be believed. Then, in this week’s Hand of the Week, I take another spin on the Wheel of Punishment before Patrick and I break down a hand played with 10-9 off-suit from the button.

And finally, I wrap things up with Joe’s One Outer, where I share how the game of poker can teach us a few lessons about life on the road.

Buckle up, A-Team — this episode is equal parts travel, tilt, and table talk!
