Chapter 1 Ep. 15 The Return Home and a Chat with Darren Elias

Joe Scales hosts a weekly podcast that mixes humor, commentary and strategy, with great segments such as Table Talk, Call the Floor, Hand of the Week, and Joe’s One Outer. It’s the longest running poker podcast, for the everyday player.

Elle and I celebrate the 17th of May for our Norwegian friends by tasting Maker's Mark blondies. Here is the recipe. We talk about women crushing it at the WSOP-c Commerce and the return of the Big Game.  I also went to play in my typical home game and it got us thinking about how listeners can use their home game to send someone to the Ante Up Poker Cruise.
Elliot rules on a situation where cards were mucked in a tournament on the "Call the Floor" segment. Did the dealer act inappropriately in this situation or is it a grey area.
In our "HOTW" segment Patrick and I break down a hand with KJ off suit on the button. There are a few takeaways from this hand.
I then end the show with "Joe's One-Outer" where I talk about tipping dealers.

"Call the Floor" this week is all about collusion and Patrick and I break down a "Hand of the Week" this week that starts a discussion about how to play each street as well as making sure that you tell a consistent story. I wrap the show with my "One-Outer" talking about different personalities in a home game.

Chapter 2 Ep. 15 Rinse and Repeat

This week Elle and I recap the Camp One Step Charity Tournament. We also stop off to play a little poker at Play Poker Chicago. Elliott rules on whether tournament chips should be blinded out or if it's more important to get someone off the waiting list. Patrick and I break down a tournament hand with A8 suited. We recorded this one from the car so the audio isn't great. Then I end the show talking about small improvements over time.
