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!

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Joe and Elle are bringing the action to a whole new level — literally — with the addition of video to the show! While they are around the table, they recap the latest Patreon Home Game, share some laughs, and look ahead to a few exciting events, including the upcoming WPF Ladies Weekend and their road trip to Maker’s Mark Star Hill Farms.

In this week’s Call the Floor, Elliott makes a ruling on a tricky situation involving a random chip found under the table during a tournament — you won’t want to miss his take. Then, things heat up in Hand of the Week as Joe spins the Wheel of Punishment and breaks down a tough spot along with Patrick holding AK from UTG+1.

Finally, Joe closes the show with his One Outer, diving into a question straight from the Patreon game: How do you handle a big stack bully heads-up?

This week on Table Talk, Elle and I recap the Patreon game. Plus—Hatter and Ben Minch add even more value to upcoming Patreon games, including the brand-new Good Karma Seat.  We’re just weeks away from heading to Rivers Casino in Schenectady, NY (Sept. 15–28). Trophies, Vegas seats, magazine covers, and community vibes—don’t miss it. We also break down the wild debate sparked when a player folded pocket aces preflop deep in the WSOP Online Mystery Millions.
Call the Floor this week is a fun controversy about whether a player really have the right to demand a deck wash mid-game? Or is that all up to the dealer and floor staff?
In HOTW Patrick and I play pocket fours, and somehow a high-hand jackpot goes to…the losing hand?! You’ve got to hear this one.
Plus, we’re rolling into Labor Day weekend, talking poker, community, and even a little Wizard of Oz in Vegas.

This week Elle and I are in the Charm City, Baltimore MD. We are playing a little poker and getting to know some of the staff at the poker rooms here. In the Table Talk segment we discuss our time at the tables so far, India's Black Friday bill, and the passing of Jack McClelland. The code that we mentioned for Octopi Poker is ANTEUP and the link for the site is below.

Our Call the Floor segment has Elliott discussing a situation where the prize pool dropped considerably between the final day 1 and day 2. He talks behind the scenes what could have happened and why.

In our HOTW this week Patrick and I play hand that starts out as a mess and doesn't get much better. Somebody at the table ends up walking away hanging their head and it all started because they wanted to check the hand to the river.

Finally I end the show with Joe's One Outer where I discuss the difference between just being unlucky and learning from the hand.
