Well done guys. That's the best TV spot you guys have had since the infamous "Ape Beats Local Podcaster in WSOP Satellite."

That Koko, he's a rounder. No shame there.

Congratulations!

Now the other TV stations should catch up with Channel 10, and do a story on you guys as well.

My eyes! I'm glad I didn't see it in HD!

Congrats on making the news.

more "well done"'s from me... Everything looked great and very professional. Right up until the giant granny deck of cards.

Please refer to those cards as the Space Shuttle Cards ... as in "You can see them from space!"

Nice puff piece! And I say that with the utmost respect. With 90% of poker news stories being about the dangers of gambling and 9% about the WSOP, it's great that you ended up in the media's good graces.

Nice PR. Can't ever underestimate the value of a little PR.

I was hoping to read, "Scott Long is the funniest guy on the planet!"

Way to go! I know that one day one of these major poker publications are going to notice your show and get their name slapped on it. I admit I have listen to some of them and they come and go. Why they waste their money on them and not just advertise on yours is beyond me.

Posted by: Edwardm111 | May 28, 2008 at 09:32 PM

That's awesome guys...you guys have the best poker cast on the web...you deserve more...

Good Job! Chris's hair looked great! Who's table is that your playing on? looks pretty nice.
Don't knock the space shuttle cards, they're an ante-up tradition!

Hope it drive some sponsors and new listeners your way!

This was outstanding! Longest running show on the pokernet, never missed a week! And the only poker podcast of which I have never missed an episode. Of course, I started about 35 in, so I had some catching up to do that first couple of months. We should have a designation for everyone who has heard 100% of the podcasts. "Ante Up Legacy Members" "AU Lifers" ... Anteupoholics?

Posted by: Doc John | May 28, 2008 at 11:37 PM

It's official, you guys are big time.

"Space Shuttle Cards"

I should've copyrighted that one, but no, I had to be snobby and make it a CC license ;)
I recently heard the astronauts now use them for the post-launch contest: the one who sees them from the highest altitude gets the window seat on the way down. The record is 242 miles.

btw congrats on making the news

Kudos to youse guys!!! Keep up the Great work!

Posted by: Jeff | May 29, 2008 at 10:46 PM

More congratulations on the great PR. It was a nice little piece.

Too bad not everyone in the poker world knows about your show. To hear what I'm talking about, listen to the most recent podcast of Big Poker Sundays.

Congratulations on 3 years of great podcasts

Posted by: boil | June 03, 2008 at 04:33 PM

Thanks Boil! This week's show marks exactly 3 years. Unreal.
