now i know what bonch ment by run on sentance.

try this one: t33h

but seriously, i'd go with no lmit. Sounds more dangerous, ppl might think you sell porn and come to your store. Ante up sounds like old poker back when the old ppl played.

The Nuts

I think you should use a more original name like Fold or Call. That would be sweet.

Thats an interesting new strategy!

Use neither, they are proably both trademarked.

go with no-limit.. you will get more business that way.. most noobs that play holdem probably wont even know what ante up means.

I personally like "Ante up". But No-limit will most likely attract more business.

I vote for "The Nuts" as well.

good thing you are keeping it local, and near a local casino, it would be tough to commute if it wasnt local.

and I have already trademarked and registered BTMF and Bt33hMf

If you're serious about opening a poker store, you've got a lot to learn about marketing.

If you really want business, try something like "Poker World" or "Poker Outlet" that is descriptive.

Don't get cute with some name no one understands and that won't show up in any useable way in the yellow pages or under a yahoo local directory search.
