In this episode, we revisit a story from the October issue of Ante Up Magazine—and things have escalated. At least eight individuals involved in running the poker clubs we discussed are now facing federal charges. Plus, the latest issue of the magazine is out, so make to subscribe in order to check that out.

On Table Talk, Elle and I dive into some Bitcoin adventures, Texas Mike’s health battle, and Phil Hellmuth’s surprising exit from the WSOP Main Event. Call the Floor sees Elliott ruling on a unique situation where a dealer refuses to allow a clock call on a player who hasn’t put chips in the pot. Our HOTW features Patrick and I navigating J-T suited, and in Joe’s One Outer, I break down why adding mixed games to your poker arsenal is a smart move.

It’s our first episode of 2025, and we are one episode away from two full years with me in the hosts chair. We are also only two episodes away from reaching 1 million listens in that two year span.

We have a lot of plans for 2025.

This week on “Call the Floor”, Elliott rules on a situation where a player only has a few big blinds left and wants to put them all in before the cards are dealt… or does he?

Our “HOTW” this week has Patrick and I playing from the button again. This time with 10/9 off suit.

As always, I end the show with “Joe’s One Outer” where I talk about the importance of setting goals in poker and life.
