    Chapter 2 Ep. 21 A lot of WSOP Talk and Poker HOF Nominations

    Chapter 2 Ep. 21 A lot of WSOP Talk and Poker HOF Nominations

    This week I open the show talking about the Casino Collectibles Show at Southpoint Casino in Vegas. If you guys go out please send me pictures so I can live vicariously through you. The website for the show is ccgtcc.com. Elle and I updated a lot of the WSOP news and talked HOF nominees. Elliott rules on a situation with a fouled deck. That sparks a conversation about shuffle machines. HOTW this week is from a tournament and we hold KQ UTG+1. I end the show talking cash vs tournaments.

    Chapter 2 Ep. 20 Crazy Pineapple

    Chapter 2 Ep. 20 Crazy Pineapple

    This week we talk a lot about Crazy Pineapple. Before we do that though, Jessica Vierling joins Elle and I on "Table Talk". She goes over the Main Event win at the WSOP-c event at the Commerce. She also talks about travel and poker, her dog and when she started playing. Then Elliott breaks down some issues with what seems to be a disorganized Crazy Pineapple tournament in the "Call the Floor" segment. After that, Patrick and I break down a hand in "HOTW" from the very same Crazy Pineapple tournament. As always, I end the show talking about my topic of choice in "Joe's One Outer". This week I talk about why it's important to add some variety to your home games.

    Chapter 2 Ep. 19 Memorial Day Pop Quiz

    Chapter 2 Ep. 19 Memorial Day Pop Quiz

    This week I am requesting submissions for a new segment. Elle and I talk about the new "PokerStars The Big Game" and I give Elle a pop quiz. "Call the Floor" this week has Elliott ruling on a situation with multiple straddles. Do the straddles constitute action? Patrick and I break down a hand in the "HOTW" segment with me defending the BB again. As always I end the show with my "One-Outer" and this week it is about playing poker on Memorial Day.

    Chapter 2 Ep. 18 Women Crushing

    Chapter 2 Ep. 18 Women Crushing

    Elle and I celebrate the 17th of May for our Norwegian friends by tasting Maker's Mark blondies. Here is the recipe. We talk about women crushing it at the WSOP-c Commerce and the return of the Big Game.  I also went to play in my typical home game and it got us thinking about how listeners can use their home game to send someone to the Ante Up Poker Cruise.

    Elliot rules on a situation where cards were mucked in a tournament on the "Call the Floor" segment. Did the dealer act inappropriately in this situation or is it a grey area.

    In our "HOTW" segment Patrick and I break down a hand with KJ off suit on the button. There are a few takeaways from this hand.

    I then end the show with "Joe's One-Outer" where I talk about tipping dealers.

We also talk about Doug Polk's struggles to get a new poker room open in Texas, and what has Elle contributed to her improvement in poker recently. "Call the Floor" this week is all about collusion and Patrick and I break down a "Hand of the Week" this week that starts a discussion about how to play each street as well as making sure that you tell a consistent story. I wrap the show with my "One-Outer" talking about different personalities in a home game.

Ante Up is back!

Very glad and surprised to see the podcast revived. Like Lazarus you just can’t keep ‘em down. Looking forward to the next chapter of Ante Up!

Love the show

Too many poker podcasts are gears toward pro’s or semi pro’s. These guys are geared toward the casual player.
