Elle and I are gearing up for Vegas! As we get ready to head to the World Series of Poker and connect with listeners, we welcome Brian Bly to Table Talk — fresh off his win in the Ante Up Patreon Game. We dive into WSOP chatter and what it means to balance being a poker player and a poker dad.

In Hand of the Week, Patrick and Joe go to battle with pocket tens from the small blind — and it gets tricky.

Chapter 3 Ep. 22 Friday the 13th – Flops, Folds & Floor Calls Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

Hello, A-Team! It’s Friday the 13th, but don’t worry—we’ve got nothing but good luck and great content in this week’s episode of the Ante Up Poker Podcast! I kick things off with a big congrats to Ante Up Brian for taking down last night’s Patreon Game and earning that sweet $65. If you haven’t already, hop into our Discord and join the conversation between episodes!

Elle and I are joined by special guest Dustin King from Rivers Casino in Schenectady, New York. We dish on the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the WSOP so far, and Dustin gives us the inside scoop on the upcoming Mini Electric City Series and those can’t-miss Black Chip Bounty tournaments. Plus, get the details on the Ante Up Tour stop hitting Rivers this September!

In Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a hand where a player under-calls—and explains how that’s different from the one-chip call. Then Patrick and I dive into this week’s Hand of the Week: navigating AK from UTG. And to wrap it all up, Joe’s One Outer returns with a hilarious breakdown of what players really mean when they say things like “I had to call” or “I knew you had it.”

Grab your lucky charm and press play—this is one episode you don’t want to miss!

Chapter 3 Ep. 21 The Good, The Bad, and the Bluffs Jun 06, 2025

Show notes

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle saddle up to talk about the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the WSOP so far — from bracelet moments to busted lines and everything in between. With Vegas calling at the end of the month, we preview our upcoming trip and all the poker chaos sure to come. Elliott drops a ruling on a bizarre situation where a player was asked to move tables… only to stay put and skip the blinds. Patrick and Joe break down a tricky hand with KQ suited, and the episode wraps with a brutally honest (and slightly painful) look at the lies we tell ourselves at the table.

Chapter 3 Ep. 20 Big Blinds, Big Lines, and Bigger Lessons May 30, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we saddle up and ride through a full recap of our Patreon H.O.R.S.E. tournament—yes, it was wild and yes, someone tried to razz their way to glory. We also check in on the WSOP kickoff, where the first bracelet has been claimed and the lines were… well, legendary. Hopefully that is cleared up by the new app. We shall see if it’s the ace in the hole organizers were hoping for.

Elliott steps in with rulings on not one but two hands involving bets out of turn. (kind-of). Then Patrick and I jump into a hand where we defend the big blind with J8 suited and try not to make a donkey out of ourselves.

Finally, I wrap it all up with Joe’s One Outer, and this week I’m talking about the importance—and the freedom—of being a beginner at the table. Don’t be afraid to look new; it’s how we all get better.

Chapter 3 Ep. 19 Forward Motion, Vegas Commotion & AQ Confusion May 23, 2025

Show notes

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Elle and I dive into the highlights from last night’s wild Patreon Game – bad beats, bold bluffs, and a few questionable plays. With the WSOP just around the corner, we talk about recent rule changes that have the poker community buzzing and spotlight the must-visit poker rooms in Vegas when we hit town.

In our Call the Floor Segment, Elliott weighs in on a sticky situation: does forward motion trump chips hitting the felt? The answer might surprise you.

Then, Patrick and I put AQ offsuit under the microscope in a hand breakdown that might change the way you play this tricky spot. Finally, I wrap things up with Joe’s One Outer — to get you ready for the World Series.

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Elle and I welcome YankeesFanNJ to Table Talk — fresh off his victory in our latest Patreon Hold’em game! We dive into the hot topics shaking the poker world, including the latest RTA (Real-Time Assistance) scandal and the swift ban handed down.

We also cover the exciting WPT event at the Venetian running alongside the WSOP Main Event and celebrate a player who captured his first WSOP-Circuit ring in just his third ever tournament. Elliott steps in to rule on a unique situation involving a shuffle machine malfunction that caused a hand to be declared null and void.

Patrick and I break down a hand I played at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, then I close out the show by reflecting on why we all fell in love with this wild, wonderful game in the first place.
