Chapter 2 Ep. 36 Trust & Technology

I start the show talking about the storms the last few days, and the best readers of the magazine to date. I also put an all call out for HOTW and Call the Floor submissions. You can actually hear the rain pelting the windows as Elle and I record "Table Talk". We review "Dead Money", the new poker movie. Elle gives the history of Bourbon Heritage Month, and talks jigsaw puzzle competitions. We also learned that there is a 45 minute flight in Las Vegas equipped to help you join the Mile High Club. On the "Call the Floor" segment a situation comes up where the dealer spreads the deck into or onto the muck and Elliott talks about his ruling there, but also about dealer training. Our "HOTW" has us coming into the SB position but buying the blinds, and facing a big raise pre-flop with QJ off suit. I end the show with "Joe's One Outer" talking about patience.

This week I start the show with a request for feedback as we start working on 2025. On "Table Talk", Elle and I talk about Friday the 13th. Elle needs bifocals, and she's not taking well. We recap our visit to Charlotte for the Make Your Mark event, and we talk talk PokerMasters, WPT and the new movie Dead Money. Elliott discusses his ruling on a situation where a player says all-in but not everyone hears that including the dealer in this weeks "Call the Floor". That all leads to a discussion on the "one chip rule" as well. "HOTW" has Patrick and I breaking down a questionable hand played from UTG. I end the show with "Joe's One Outer" discussing the double standard with poker's image. Click here for our Linktree. It is a quick resource to get you to our magazine, podcast, YouTube, and more.

We had some technical difficulties getting this loaded the first time. So try, try again. I start the show with a tease of the magazine and another call for ambassadors. If you know the answer to my question, submit it to [email protected]. On "table Talk" Elle and I start with the guy who traded his Marriott Bonvoy point to choreograph the Bellagio Fountains and a story about a 16 y/o who made a dress out of over 2,000 playing cards. During the Cypress WPT event there wan insane hand and there was a big Bad Beat Jackpot hit at Four Winds in Indiana. We also talk about what celebrity we would like to play poker with. Elliott clarifies his decision on "Call the Floor" a few weeks ago, and explains the chip race this week.

I have been trying to get this week's episode out to you, but for some reason it is not cooperating. I have a ticket open with Blubrry, but it is Labor Day weekend so we will just hope that it is fixed in a timely manner. Until then... I'll see you at the tables.

I start the show with a call to all listeners. We would love to have you as an Ante Up Ambassador. On "Table Talk" Elle and talk about a lot of poker that's going on and how we have been kind of mentoring a college student and giving some free advice to listeners and family members that ask for it. The key is that they ask for it. (More on that later.) "Call the Floor" has Elliott ruling on a lot of things going on at the poker table. It starts with a player that says he want to raise "by" $105, but ends up raising "to" $105. It only gets worse from there. For the second week in a row Patrick and I break down a pocket pair UTG on the "HOTW" segment. This time we have pocket Kings. Then I end the show talking mentor or know-it-all in "Joe's One Outer".

He talks about a healthy lifestyle away from the poker tables. Read the article here. In the "Call the Floor" segment Elliott rules on a possible angle. Patrick and I break down a "HOTW" with pocket Q's from UTG. The question comes up about whether we should raise 3x or 4x from early position like that?

This week I had a colonoscopy right before I recorded. It may have made the show a little, all over the place, or maybe it made it better. Regardless I think it is a good one. On "Table Talk" Elle and I talk about the WSOP being bought by NSUS, the primary investor for GG Poker, and their plans for the future. We discuss the Norwegian Poker Open, and teaching the grandkids how to manage a bankroll.
