Chapter 4 Ep. 17 Bluffers, Bomb Pots & Barbecue Sauce
5/8/20261 hr 26 min
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.

Joe Scales· Host0:28
I'm your host, Joe Scales, and I'm not gonna spend a lot of time here in the intro today because, I'll give you a little peek behind the curtain, I'm actually recording this after we already finished Table Talk. But there's a good reason for that. We had a special guest join us around the table today. Eric Morris stopped by the show, and a lot of you might remember Eric from his days with Bluff Magazine. These days, Eric has teamed up with Mike Leah to create Bluffer's Poker, which is where we'll be running some satellites for our Alaskan cruise coming up in August. Honestly, the segment went longer than our normal Table Talk, but I still feel like we barely scratched the surface of everything we could have talked about. Eric is a great guy, an incredibly smart guy, and I'm really proud to be partnering with him and Mike through Bluffer's Poker. So I'm not gonna ramble on any longer
