Chapter 4 Ep. 20 WSOB: Babies, Billions, and Back to the Future
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.

Chapter 4 Ep. 19 Incomplete Information
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
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
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.

It’s a great look at how intent, action, and rules collide at the table. For Hand of the Week, we break down a tricky spot with pocket jacks, facing aggression, and navigating a scary turn card, and ultimately making a big river decision.

Patrick joins me for Hand of the Week, where we break down a tricky spot featuring QJ suited, and discuss the decisions, the dynamics, and what could have been done differently. And I wrap things up with Joe’s One Outer about not letting one player control your emotions, because sometimes the biggest edge in poker (and life) is keeping your cool when someone else is trying to take it from you.
