Chapter 4 Episode 26: The Dealer and Player Grind

Ante Up Poker Magazine

Show Notes

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Jasmine Klapperich to discuss an important study focused on the health and wellness of poker dealers, why the research matters, and how the poker community can help. We also catch up on the latest from the WSOP Main Event and preview an upcoming LIPS Championship.

In Call the Floor, a player tables what appears to be the winning hand… until a dealer mistake creates a controversial ruling.

Patrick breaks down a tricky Hand of the Week involving a flopped monster, a dangerous board, and a decision that sparks plenty of debate.

Then Joe closes the show with a One Outer about one of the most important skills in poker—and in life: knowing when it’s time to change gears.
