I have listen to this podcast for a long time. Chris and Scott can be very funny and always keep the show informative. They do a good job keeping up with poker news, hand analyzing and keeping the show fun. It’s worth a listen

By far my favorite poker podcast and close to my favorite of all topic podcasts. They use a good use of humor and knowledge in the name of everyday poker players. They don’t speak over the listeners head and acknowledge they aren’t the best players, but utilize their hand of the week segments to discuss various plays and the benefits of each. Huge fan and hope they continue to go for years, cause it’s a go to for me weekly.

I have listened to this show since episode 1. I just realized that I had;t reviewed the show before, and I was shocked. SHOCKED! If I had a time machine, I would go back and give Scott and Chris a 5 star review and an awesome review 5 years ago. What was I thinking! This is the only poker show that I can listen to and feel completely educated and entertained. Rock on, boys! You’re a permanent fixture in my podcast rotation.

I've listened to a lot of poker shows, but this one is far above the rest when it comes to entertainment. The guys aren't pros but they are fun and have great hand analysis from guests and regulars like Lee Childs. Simply awesome show!!!

Corrie Decker · Sep 2011

I've been a long time listener of this podcast and throughout the past couple of years, the overall quality has suffered. The strategy conversations (both in HotW and OM) are lackluster at best, with most thoughtful players being able to reason better. Most lately, however, the podcast has been suffering from a distraction of self promotion and advertising without an increase in content. In fact, during the busiest poker season of the year, the hosts decided to record episodes in advance in order to take a vacation. I'm disappointed. I used to throughly enjoy this podcast as a regular staple in my listening diet, however, with Pokernews and Two Plus Two (amongst others), I'm left leaving listening to Ante Up as a last resort. I only leave this review with the hope that the show will make improvements to reclaim its glory. Thanks. William Beyer

Scott really needs to reduce saying “ummmmm,” “uhhhhhh” and other filler words as I simply cannot listen to this anymore, and I love poker. I realize you haven’t been trained in this field, but silent pauses are okay. There doesn’t need to be a constant stream of noise coming out. There aren’t many poker podcasts out there and you could become the most dominant one in a big way if you polish this up. Best of luck to you.
