It's the Ante Up! Game Show!
No, we aren't hiring Vanna White to turn over our cards, but Scott and I are going to put our poker (and Ante Up!) knowledge on the line for Episode 98. Mike "Fatso, Pesto, Bard, Lance" Fasso will be our mediator/host as he tests our tiny brains on poker trivia. Here's where you come in: Email Mike at fasso@sptimes.com with your trivia questions (he will be providing a bunch as well). Since each host will be asked questions, you can tailor your questions to one of us (e.g. Scott, how many times has Chris used the word "Hysterical" on the show?) and of course we don't want the questions to be this hard since there's no way to know the answer to that one. But you get the idea, and you must know the answer and provide it for Fasso. You can also submit True/False questions, multiple choice and general poker knowledge (Who won the first World Series Main Event?). Just be sure to get these questions to Fasso in a timely manner and be sure your answers are correct and maybe we'll use them on the show. Sound cool? Should be fun. And thanks.

Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
We have to post odds on this. I think right now, Chris is opening as a 7-5 favorite to win this.

Agreed, but because Chris will study for it and Scott will wing it!

Based on the overwhelming success of the pot odds show, I'm thinking if we throw a lot of pot odds questions at them the score will be kept to a minimum.........

I've already received several submissions. Thanks, and keep them coming.
