It’s Halloween weekend, and we’ve got plenty to talk about on this week’s Ante Up Poker Podcast! In Table Talk, Joe and Elle recap their trip to Sycuan Casino Resort, celebrate our first-ever Patreon three-peat champion, and discuss some big stories making poker headlines, including a record-breaking online tournament. In Call the Floor, a player announces a raise but puts out too few chips. The dealer rules it a call, but did the floor get it right? In Hand of the Week, we look at a flopped nut straight that turns into a nightmare on the river. Could the hand have been played differently? Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, we get into the Halloween spirit with a reminder that sometimes the scariest part of trying something new is taking that first step. Click here for our Linktree.

We’re coming to you from beautiful Sycuan Casino Resort in San Diego, where the SoCal Classic is off to a fantastic start! In Table Talk, we recap our experiences at Sycuan, and highlight some exciting poker action. In Call the Floor, Elliott tackles a controversial ruling involving a four-card flop and explains why the extra card isn’t just removed. In Hand of the Week, Patrick and I break down a tournament hand featuring a massive draw, a missed river, and a tough decision with the money bubble approaching. Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, we discuss why how you conduct yourself at the poker table matters more than you might realize. You never know who’s watching! Click here for our Linktree.

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle recap a great turnout for their Bluffers Meet-Up Game, a shake-up in the Patreon leaderboard, and some incredible stories from the WPT at The Lodge. Plus, they’re hitting the road for Sycuan Casino Resort and the next stop on the Ante Up Poker Tour! In Call the Floor, Elliott Schecter tackles a dealer mistake that exposed the river card before betting was complete. Both players agreed to let the card stand, but was that the right ruling? For Hand of the Week, Joe and Patrick break down a tournament hand featuring pocket kings on an ace-high, all-diamond flop. With an aggressive opponent firing on every street, how much should the possibility of re-entry influence your decisions? Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, an incredible freeroll-to-WPT-champion story inspires a reminder that you don’t always need the biggest stack or the most resources to succeed. Sometimes what you already have is enough. Click here for our Linktree. It is a quick resource to get you to our magazine, podcast, YouTube, and more.

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re getting ready for our trip to Sycuan Casino in San Diego and talking about our very first online Meet-Up Game on ClubGG through Bluffers! Plus, Joe finally makes it back to his regular home game. As mentioned, here’s the link for more information about the WPF Ladies Weekend: https://WPFladiesweekendUSA.org In Call the Floor, we tackle a situation where a player discusses folded cards while a hand is still in progress. Should the dealer step in, or is it the player’s responsibility to call the floor? In Hand of the Week, Joe and Patrick break down a tournament hand featuring pocket fours, an aggressive big stack, and some tough decisions that put tournament survival on the line. Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, we talk about why poker is about so much more than winning pots and collecting trophies. Sometimes, the best part of the game is the people sitting around the table.

We’re back home after another great stop at Rivers Schenectady! In Table Talk, we recap the end of the Electric City Series, some memorable moments from the trip, what’s happening in the poker world, and look ahead to San Diego and the So-Cal Classic at Sycuan. On Call the Floor, a tournament changes its published structure while play is already underway. How much freedom should tournament management have to make adjustments once the cards are in the air? Then, the Hand of the Week takes us into a $4/$8 Seven-Card Stud game where split aces turn into a monster hand, but three exposed kings create some very uncomfortable decisions. Finally, in Joe’s One Outer, Joe and Elle’s anniversary leads to a reminder from both poker and life. Sometimes it isn’t the huge pots or big moments that matter most. It’s all the little ones we stack along the way. Click here for our Linktree. It is a quick resource to get you to our magazine, podcast, YouTube, and more.

We’re at Rivers Casino in Schenectady, where several Ante Up Poker Tour events have wrapped up and Main Event weekend is here. In Table Talk, we catch up on the series, time with the A-Team, and a few adventures away from the tables. In Call the Floor, a player puts out extra chips intending to call and make change—but the dealer announces a raise. Hand of the Week puts pocket aces to the test against a flop check-raise and big bets on later streets. And in Joe’s One Outer, Joe reflects on the familiar faces that make a poker stop feel like a reunion.

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.
