  Chapter 4. Ep. 36 On the Road to Rivers 18.09.2026 1ч 11мин

  We’re on the road again! This week we’re getting ready to head to Schenectady and Rivers Casino, where we hope to see plenty of the A-Team for our MUG on Sunday and a full slate of events that include the Mini Main, Main Event, Rivers Revival and more. We also have a big update on the Ante Up Championship in Las Vegas, plus some poker news from around the game. On Call the Floor, we tackle a situation involving a player with a history of saying things like “you got it” without actually folding. This time, the other player starts to muck his hand before the dealer steps in and stops him. Did the dealer do the right thing? Did the floor get the ruling right? And at what point does behavior like this stop being a gray area and start becoming an angle that deserves bigger consequences? Then, in the Hand of the Week, we look at a $1/$3 cash game hand where we flop top pair and immediately runs into resistance. There are some big bets and several value hands get there. Is top pair strong enough to bluff-catch? Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, I take a look at the bad beats we love to remember, and the ones we may have helped create ourselves. Sometimes the river really is brutal. However,  sometimes the decision that put us in trouble happened before that final card hit the felt. Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 35: Birthday Lessons 11.09.2026 1ч 18мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we start Table Talk on a more serious note with condolences to the Hellmuth family and a moment of remembrance for September 11. We also recap the latest Patreon game, look around the poker world, and get ready to hit the road for Schenectady. On Call the Floor, Elliott tackles a rapid-fire batch of home-game situations, from exposed cards and unclear all-ins to hidden chips, misunderstood bets, premature turn cards, and the odd chip in a chopped pot. Then on Hand of the Week, suited connectors get caught in a multiway $1/$3 pot that turns into a decision-making roller coaster. Every street presents a new puzzle, leading to a river play that can only be described as a confusion bet. Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, a birthday brings a little reflection on lessons learned from poker, business, and life, including why good decisions matter more than short-term results, why relationships are equity, and why sometimes we need to remember to just enjoy the table.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 34 Good Karma and Tough Decisions 04.09.2026 1ч 25мин

  This week, Ben joins us from Wisconsin for Table Talk as we hear about his road-trip adventures, talk Good Karma seats, and officially welcome bestbet as the new Studio Sponsor of the Ante Up Poker Podcast. We also look ahead to our January stop at bestbet Jacksonville, Blizzard on the Beach! Then, in Call the Floor, a player adds on during a hand, but the chips haven’t reached the table yet. Does the money play? In the Hand of the Week, we head Down Under for some PLO and find out just how uncomfortable even a monster hand can become when you’re out of position. Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, poker players become boulders in an avalanche, getting bumped, bruised and reshaped by every bad beat, downswing and tough decision along the way.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 33 The Uncomfortable Truth 29.08.2026 1ч 32мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re looking ahead to the Electric City Poker Series at Rivers Schenectady, talking about some of the unique events on the schedule, Ante Up plans for the stop, and even getting into the great dealer debate: slide or pitch? Then, Elliott joins me for a Call the Floor involving a player tipping a cocktail waitress, a dealer who moves the action along a little too quickly, and a community card that hits the felt before everyone has acted. What’s the proper ruling? In the Hand of the Week, KQ suited gets involved in a big multiway pot that turns into one of those uncomfortable spots where the math may be telling you one thing while the action is screaming something else. And in Joe’s One Outer, sometimes the best people to have in your corner aren’t the ones who always tell you that you played great—they’re the ones willing to tell you when you played it badly.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 32 Back on Dry Land 23.08.2026 1ч 9мин

  The Alaska poker cruise is in the books! Elle and I look back at the poker, the ports, and some of the lessons we learned about how we want to do future Ante Up cruises. Then Call the Floor gets a first. Elliott and I record the segment together in person, with the ocean behind us, as we tackle who is actually responsible for showing their cards when the river checks through. If you want to see that view, and the rest of this week’s episode, the video version will be released on YouTube in a few days. The Hand of the Week is a little different this time. It’s more of a situation involving a home tournament, a married couple, a questionable poker look and an all-in that apparently wasn’t supposed to be an all-in. Finally, Joe’s One Outer looks at the part of a long poker trip we rarely plan for, the recovery day after you finally get home. Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 31 Alaska is Here 15.08.2026 1ч

  We’re coming to you from Alaska! Ship wifi couldn’t handle the upload and it is hard to come by in Alaska, but we found it and we have another episode for you this week. We talk about life aboard the Ante Up Poker Cruise, catching up with the A-Team, a little San Francisco fun, and some poker news we missed while at sea. Then, Call the Floor tackles a showdown that goes wrong and gets even messier when the next hand starts. In Hand of the Week, it’s my least favorite hand, and we’ll see if we can finally pull out a win with it. Finally, Joe’s One Outer is about knowing when to take a chance, bet on yourself, and push the chips all-in. Click here for our Linktree.

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle break down the WSOP Main Event finale, celebrate the new World Champion, talk about the class shown heads-up, and get ready to set sail for Alaska! Here is the AI article that was referenced. Then, Call the Floor tackles a tournament situation you almost have to hear to believe, and HOTW features a big draw, an aggressive opponent, and a decision that turns into an even tougher one on the river. Finally, Joe’s One Outer looks at the criticism that follows every World Champion and why poker was never about playing perfectly—it’s about being ready when your opportunity comes.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 29 You Can’t Play Every Game 31.07.2026 1ч 8мин

  Elle is on location in Jacksonville for the Ladies International Poker Series at bestbet, and we get her first impressions of the room, the familiar faces she’s already run into, and the rest of the weekend slate. Back home, we recap a wild night of Omaha Hi/Lo in the Patreon game, where Mortis finally broke through for his first win of the season. USC collected the ChicagoJoe bounty, and Ben landed on the points bubble,  which means a certain side bet is still very much alive. Then we look ahead to the WSOP Main Event final table starting Monday with 22-year-old chip leader Lucas Jumalon leading the final nine, and why Advanced Poker Training’s million-hand simulation is picking Greg Mueller. Plus, Doug Polk steps back from The Lodge, and we run through this year’s Hall of Fame finalists. Call the Floor: A $1/$2 game at the Golden Nugget where one player silently slides out $15 while the next player simultaneously announces $20. The dealer freezes, the table starts offering opinions, and nobody calls the floor. Hand of the Week: $2/$5, everyone $800 deep, and our listener has pocket nines. We break down the hand not the player. Did we play it better? Joe’s One Outer: Nobody gets buried under bad options, you get buried under good ones. Game selection is a life skill, why saying yes to eleven worthy things leaves you with eleven mediocre ones. Pick your table, then play it with all you’ve got. Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 28 Sycuan Spotlight 24.07.2026 1ч 17мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we sit down for Table Talk with Joe Mackin of Sycuan Casino Resort, three years running as Southern California’s Best Poker Room. We talk San Diego vibes, and the upcoming Ante Up Poker Tour Stop in conjunction with the SoCal Classic. On Call the Floor, a bettor pushes chips and announces “one hundred” at the same time, but the stack comes up short. Was the floor right to lock him in at $85, or should verbal govern? Our Hand of the Week breaks down a $1/$3 spot with AQ suited, then I close with a One Outer on protecting your blinds, and why folding isn’t flinching. See you at the tables, A-Team.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 27 The Next Best Thing 18.07.2026 1ч 16мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, the WSOP Main Event final table is locked and the “August Nine” are set to battle for $10 million and the bracelet at Paris Las Vegas. In Table Talk, we introduce some of the players, and the notable names who fell just short. Plus the mid-tournament shot-clock bombshell that had players fuming, the chilling story of a pro robbed after cashing, a record-breaking series, a downtown poker room makeover, and where the Ante Up Tour heads next. In Call the Floor, a first-time WSOP player, a ticking clock before the break, and a bathroom line that changes everything. One quick fold sparks a rules debate that has us asking: is this really worthy of a penalty? You make the call. For Hand of the Week, it’s $2/$4 Seven-Card Stud. Split aces look great off the deal, but one very scary board and a tricky opponent turn every street into a genuine decision. When your big pair is never the nuts, do you have the discipline to make the call that matters? And Joe wraps it up with a One Outer on aces, bad flops, and learning to be okay with the next best thing. We’ll see you at the tables! Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Episode 26: The Dealer and Player Grind 10.07.2026 1ч 11мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Jasmine Klapperich to discuss an important study focused on the health and wellness of poker dealers, why the research matters, and how the poker community can help. We also catch up on the latest from the WSOP Main Event and preview an upcoming LIPS Championship. In Call the Floor, a player tables what appears to be the winning hand… until a dealer mistake creates a controversial ruling. Patrick breaks down a tricky Hand of the Week involving a flopped monster, a dangerous board, and a decision that sparks plenty of debate. Then Joe closes the show with a One Outer about one of the most important skills in poker—and in life: knowing when it’s time to change gears. Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 25 More Than Just a Card Game 03.07.2026 1ч 1мин

  Joe and Elle are back from an incredible week of poker cruisin’, and they’re sharing stories from the trip, why Poker Player Cruises has them even more excited for Alaska in August, and a few unforgettable moments both on and off the ship. They also preview our upcoming Ante Up Poker Tour stop at Sycuan Casino Resort, recap the latest World Series of Poker news, and  announce the upcoming Patreon game schedule. In Call the Floor, Elliott settles a debate from a home game tournament involving an under-raise all-in from the button and whether the big blind still has the right to raise. This week’s Hand of the Week features a $2/$5 cash game where turning the second-nut straight leads to a massive decision. Then Joe closes the show with a One Outer inspired by a simple photo from our Discord that perfectly captures what makes poker so special. Thanks for listening, A-Team. We’ll see you at the tables!

  Chapter 4 Ep. 24 The Empty Seat 26.06.2026 45мин

  Joe and Elle are cruising this week, but the show rolls on with a full slate of poker discussion. In Call the Floor, Elliott tackles a tournament director’s nightmare after one table mistakenly receives significantly larger starting stacks than the rest of the field. When the error is discovered several levels later, the floor implements a controversial strategy. Was it the right decision, and are there established rules for handling a situation like this? In this week’s Hand of the Week, Joe and Patrick find themselves deep in a tournament against a table maniac who seems willing to put chips in the pot with almost any two cards. Holding AJ from the small blind, Patrick and Joe break down every street. Then in Joe’s One Outer, Joe reflects  the empty seats left behind by players who quietly disappear from our regular games. It’s a thoughtful reminder that while we remember hands and tournaments for a while, it’s the people we meet along the way who leave the lasting impression. No Table Talk this week as Joe and Elle are finishing up their cruise adventure, but they’ll be back next week with new stories, poker tales, and plenty of laughs. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, and as always, we’ll see you at the tables.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 23 Protect Your Hand 19.06.2026 55мин

  From the poker room to the poker cruise, we’ve got a packed episode this week. On Table Talk, Joe and Elle discuss Sycuan Casino being named Southern California’s Best Poker Room for the third straight year, the new permanent World Series of Poker retail store, Calvin Anderson making history with his second $10,000 Razz Championship, and the arrival of Buc-ee’s in Arizona. Plus, we give a well-deserved shoutout to Ante Up Magazine contributor Jasmine Klapperich for earning her PhD and helping poker players stay healthy both on and off the felt. Call the Floor has Elliott weighing in on a controversial tournament situation involving a player who appeared to seek input from his rail during a major river decision. Was it a joke, outside assistance, or something deserving of a penalty? And can the floor remove railbirds who cross the line? In Hand of the Week, Patrick and I face a river decision with AQ suited after turning additional equity and applying pressure against an active opponent. Should we call or find the muck? Patrick and Joe break it down. And in Joe’s One Outer, a simple piece of cruise advice, “wear sunscreen”, sparks a poker-themed tribute to Baz Luhrmann’s famous spoken-word classic. It’s a collection of lessons learned from years around the table, culminating in one rule every poker player should remember… protect your hand. If you don’t know the song that this week’s One Outer references here it is.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 22 Stack Chips, Not Headlines 13.06.2026 1ч 15мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle discuss Kristen Foxen capturing her sixth WSOP bracelet and whether it’s finally time to stop labeling her as the best female player and recognize her as one of the best tournament players in poker. They also look at Mike Holtz’s second bracelet, a bizarre WSOP hand where an accidental verbal call turned J-3 into a tournament-saving straight, and the latest promotions from Bluffers, including a chance to win a WSOP Main Event package starting from just a $3 buy-in. Here is a link to the videos that we mentioned as well. https://youtube.com/shorts/8XMxx7FI-A4?si=P5byVxzHhHF1MFf- https://youtube.com/shorts/OuucDgbUhRo?si=b5XBvWWZchXryPUJ Elliott Schecter answers a rabbit-hunting debate. If a room allows rabbit hunting, can a player involved in the hand veto seeing the remaining card? Patrick and Joe break down a Hand of the Week featuring pocket deuces, and in this week’s One Outer, Joe explores why the loudest player at the table isn’t always the most dangerous, while examining the power of quiet confidence.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 21 Patrick Finally Wins 06.06.2026 1ч 1мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we kick things off on Table Talk by recapping another fun Patreon game. Patrick finally broke through for his first victory, collected the double prize pool, and now we all have to suffer through at least a month of victory laps. We also discuss some of the dealer mistakes that have made headlines early at the WSOP, the challenges dealers face during long series, Maria Ho’s exciting family news, and even the earthquake that rattled Las Vegas and surrounding areas. On Call the Floor, Elliott answers a question that has probably confused more than a few poker players over the years. In a $1/$2 game with a $5 straddle, is the minimum raise to $8 or $10?. In this week’s Hand of the Week, we find ourselves in a spot that may have been created after opening a marginal suited connector from middle position. After firing two barrels and arriving at a river that completes an obvious straight, the question becomes whether to pull the trigger on a triple-barrel bluff or wave the white flag. Patrick and Joe discuss whether the story was strong enough to get our opponent to fold. Joe’s One Outer ties everything together with a look at table image. Whether you realize it or not, every player at the table has formed an opinion about you. The key isn’t whether you have an image, it’s whether you understand it well enough to use it as a weapon.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 20 WSOB: Babies, Billions, and Back to the Future 30.05.2026 1ч 13мин

  The WSOP is underway, but based on the headlines, maybe it should be called the World Series of Babies. This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle dive into the latest WSOP stories, including Daniel Negreanu and Adam Hendrix both preparing for fatherhood, the first bracelet winner of the summer, and what the massive Caesars/Fertitta deal could mean for poker players going forward. In Call the Floor, Elliott Schecter weighs in on a controversial tournament ruling. Can a dealer declare your hand dead if you’re not paying attention? And if your cards haven’t actually reached the muck yet, do you still have a claim to them? It’s a situation that sparked plenty of debate at the table. For this week’s Hand of the Week, we’re doing something a little different. Andrew sends in a wild No-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo hand from a regular home game, but the real twist is that this very same hand was originally broken down by Scott and Chris back in 2012. We found the original episode and weaved clips into the discussion. It’s a fun look back at the show’s history while tackling a fascinating hand. And in Joe’s One Outer, I talk about adaptability. Why some players never change gears at the table and how many of us make the same mistake in life. The challenges change, the situations change, and sometimes success comes from from finding the right gear. Subscribe, like, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts, and we’ll see you at the tables.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 19 Incomplete Information 22.05.2026 1ч 8мин

  This episode of the Ante Up Poker Podcast is packed with debates, drama, and tough decisions from the poker table to real life. Elle and I kick things off in Table Talk with the controversy surrounding the new WSOP patch approval rules and what it means for sponsorships, branding, and player freedom in poker. We also dive into Formula One locking in Las Vegas through 2037 and how Vegas continues evolving from gambling destination into a full-blown sports and entertainment powerhouse. Plus, there’s a quick update on the upcoming Ante Up Poker Tour stop at Sycuan Casino. In Call the Floor, Elliott Schecter joins me to break down a tense tournament situation involving stack visibility, player responsibility, and whether verbally stating your chip count is enough when another player asks to see your stack. This week’s Hand of the Week features a chaotic 2/5 game against a possible maniac who turns every hand into madness. We face a brutal river decision with top two pair after a bizarre line, a massive overbet, and some unforgettable table talk. Patrick’s reaction alone is worth the price of admission. And in Joe’s One Outer, I reflect on one of the biggest lessons poker teaches us. Making decisions without perfect information. From overthinking life choices to trusting your preparation and accepting variance, it’s a reminder that sometimes you just have to make the best decision you can and let the cards fall where they may.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 18 Don’t Play Scared 15.05.2026 1ч 17мин

  This week, Joe and Elle kick things off around the table talking about the latest from the poker world, including the reopening of The Lodge Card Club, the debate around WSOP dealer ratings and a really interesting new social gaming concept from Daniel Weinman called Showdown Social. They also dive into the incredible community being built over at Bluffers Poker and remind listeners that cabins are almost gone for the Alaskan Poker Cruise. Plus, there’s plenty of “Bet on Better” talk with upcoming charity poker events and some new ambassador news from Elle. In Call the Floor, Elliott weighs in on a strange home-game ruling involving a player declaring “raise” with a single chip before another player at the table blurts out a suggested amount. Was the raise binding? Was it only a minimum raise? And what kind of penalty should the player not in the hand receive for influencing the action? Then in HOTW, Patrick and Joe break down a wild $1/$3 hand featuring an UTG straddle, and a sneaky perspective twist that changes the entire story. The discussion centers around how to extract maximum value when you make an absolute monster without completely killing the action. To close the show, Joe’s One Outer focuses on “playing scared money”. It’s not just a concept at the poker table, but in life. It’s a reminder that poker, and life, reward confidence, trust, and making good decisions one hand at a time. Click here for our Linktree.

  Chapter 4 Ep. 17 Bluffers, Bomb Pots & Barbecue Sauce 08.05.2026 1ч 25мин

  This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle pull up a chair with poker media veteran Eric Morris for an extended Table Talk that goes way beyond the usual headlines. Eric shares stories from the golden era of poker media, Bluff Magazine, how his partnership with Mike Leah came together, and Ante Up/Bluffers satellite path to the Alaska Cruise this August. In Call the Floor, Elliott tackles a messy double-board bomb pot situation Is “Pot” even a legal declaration in no-limit hold’em? For HOTW, Patrick gets dragged out of his hold’em comfort zone and into a wild Omaha Hi-Lo hand. Nut low draws, top pair, scoop potential, quartering fears, and a river card that completely changes the outcome. Then Joe closes the show with a One Outer inspired by the darts scene from Ted Lasso and the quote “Be curious, not judgmental.” If you haven’t seen the clip or don’t remember here’s a link to it.  Click here for our Linktree.
