Ante Up Magazine Meetup

As I have announced before, Ante Up Magazine publisher Scott Long be in Minnesota on May 27th.  He will be hosting a 2 part meet up for fans of the Magazine and/or podcast. 

First we will meet for the 3:05 PM Saint Paul Saints game against the Sioux City Explorers. http://saintsbaseball.com/schedule/ If you would like to come, we suggest getting the $5 General Admission tickets.  We will try to get a block of seats where we can all sit together.  Scott will tweet our location at the ballpark.  Follow @anteupmagazine on twitter to get updates.

Then once the game is over we will be traveling to Canterbury Park for some poker action.  We hope to open a table so that all the Ante Up fans can sit together. http://canterburypark.com

Feel free to come and join the fun.  Invite your friends too.  Even bring your family to the game if you’d like.

Follow @anteupmagazine on twitter to receive any updates the day of the meetup.

Minnesota Poker Law Signed

Governor Dayton signed the HF 2795 into law today.   This will do the following for the racetrack poker rooms.

• Increase maximum bet from $60 to $100
• Increase the number of tables from 50 to 80
• Allow for an unlimited number of tournament tables.

The card room will need to have any changes approved by the Minnesota Racing commission before they go into effect.  At least this is a step in the right direction.

New Minnesota Poker Law

Minnesota Poker laws may become slightly less arcane.


House file 2795 passed the Minnesota House of Representative and the Minnesota Senate on April 28th. The bill is still awaiting signature by Governor Dayton.


The bill would increase the maximum bet from $60 to $100. This would allow up to $50-100 limit games or $2-100 SLHE games. Additionally it would increase the number of tables allowed to be in service from 50 to 80. Both Canterbury Park and Running Aces often can't open additional tables do to this restriction. Additionally it would allow an unlimited number of tournament tables. Currently the tournament tables are counted in the 50 table limit, except for 14 day a year when unlimited additional tournament tables may be opened.


More tournament tables is a great thing. More cash game tables is a great thing too. (I still don't understand the need for a limit.) And while we still can't have NLHE cash games, $2-100 SLHE is closer.
