Elle is back around the table this week for Table Talk, and we’ve got plenty to dive into. We highlight some exciting Bet on Better opportunities, celebrate Stephen Jones continuing his Ante Up Run Good, and take a look at what’s happening at Rivers Casino in Schenectady.

In Call the Floor, Elliott tackles a tricky situation where a listener’s hand was ruled dead after being dealt too many cards. Was the ruling correct? Patrick and I jump into a HOTW that starts off looking like a dream scenario… until it doesn’t.

To wrap things up, I bring you this week’s One Outer, where I talk about how poker prepares us for life’s curveballs, and what to do when things don’t go according to plan.

As always, every hand is an opportunity, every player is a friend… and every episode is a winning experience.

Over on Table Talk, I am joined by Dustin King and April from Rivers Casino in Schenectady, NY. With Elle out this week, the crew dives into what’s happening up in New York, what players can expect at Rivers, and other news happening in poker.

In Call the Floor, Elliott weighs in on a situation where two players might be a little too friendly at the table. Where’s the line between camaraderie and collusion? We break it down and let the floor make the call.

For Hand of the Week, Joe and Patrick take a look at a hand that goes sideways in a hurry—one of those spots that starts out standard and suddenly spirals into a tough decision.

And to wrap things up, Joe’s One Outer leans into the nostalgic side of poker—the feeling that keeps us coming back, whether it’s memories of old home games, classic TV broadcasts, or just that unmistakable vibe when you sit down at the table.

It’s another great episode filled with stories, strategy, and that everyday poker player perspective. Tune in, and we’ll see you at the tables.

This week’s episode of the Ante Up Poker Podcast drops a little later than usual… but for good reason. Elle and I had a lot to unpack, and trust us, it’s worth the wait.

We kick things off with some major headlines in the poker world, including the return of the WSOP Main Event to ESPN; A move that brings a wave of nostalgia and could have a big impact on the game’s visibility moving forward. On the flip side, we discuss the sudden and indefinite closure of The Lodge, a story that’s still developing and has plenty of people talking.

From there, we dive into our time out in Arizona, recapping the Ante Up Poker Tour Stop at Gila River. It was an incredible trip filled with great players, great stories, and everything that makes this tour so special. We also look back at the latest Patreon game, where the A-Team once again showed up and battled it out in another fun night at the tables.

We revisit a classic Hand of the Week and Call the Floor segment. Whether you’re hearing them for the first time or giving them another listen, these are always packed with valuable insight and discussion.

And to close things out, Joe’s One Outer ties into the start of baseball season, delivering a message about perspective, performance, and handling the ups and downs, both on the field and at the poker table.

It’s a full episode, a little delayed, but loaded with everything you’ve come to expect from Ante Up.
