Ante Up!

It's true that the poker craze has taken America's best-loved card game into a whole new world, where avid No Limit Holdem players become professionals and aspire to become high-life-living celebrities. In this brave new poker world, Ante Up! (one of several blogs hosted on TampaBay.com) is almost certainly its very own nation. Primarily a companion to the long-running Ante Up podcast, this TypePad blog offers hosts Chris Cosenza and Scott Long a chance to share their good humor and their good advice for beginning players. Not only are these affable amateurs enthralled with the poker world -- professional, home game, and online -- but they've also got enough chutzpah to get big-name poker players to sit down for interviews. Check out recaps of the shows where the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, and Kenna James have appeared, read reviews of poker television shows, discuss all kinds of poker topics on their forums, or start your education about a wide range of poker games. If you’re a player and you've got questions, you might enjoy their hand analysis category or their "Columbo 1-Minute Mysteries" -- a great new feature of the podcast that recently moved over from another venerable poker show. To become a card-carrying citizen of the Ante Up Nation, check out the blog, tune in to the podcast, and get ready to play.
