Poker Video: Misc/Other by Tommy Angelo (Micro/Small Stakes)

Thanks for this awsome series, guys.

I blame both of you for making my life more enjoyable

a thousand thanks. Keep up the good Karma.

Time to lie in the bed with the lights off for 45 minutes of pure happiness

Wow could have used the blame portion on Friday.

A lady at work went to the VP and blamed me for some big mistake (someone is probably going to get fired over it) that she made. I heard about it and it really pissed me off. I almost walked into her office and demanded she go correct what she said to the VP and let him know it wasnt my fault. Some people I worked with talked me out of doing that because they could tell how pissed I was and it probably was just going to end up with her and I yelling at each other. So I didnt go do that, actually I went out side and counted my breathing which really does help.

I found out a couple hours latter that the VP knew it was her fault and basically put her in her place for making the mistake as well as trying to blame it on me, so there was really nothing for me to worry about.

This really is the best video series I have ever seen on any poker site, my girlfriend doesnt play poker and doesnt want to learn but she still loves this series.

That is the nicest compliment we have received. Thank you, and tell your GF thanks, too.

I'm still bitter that people prefer this series over watching me break down a hand in pokerazor for an hour. Where did the world go wrong? No girlfriend is watching my series I can assure u. They prefer to watch two oldies talking budhism over a young stud, like myself, doing some hot math .

Anyway this is solid work boyz!

great episode again.
I am mos def guilty of blaming myself because of a bad play and tilting because of the bad play.

I also tilt because my opponents play bad...and get lucky with it

It was a real good episode for me

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
"Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame." Schopenhauer

By far the best video series on ANYTHING I've ever seen. Excellent work and looking forward to part two!

Tommy you should update your Med 101 stuff on your site also if you get some time .

truly great series. opened up my eyes, ears and thoughts for so many things both in and outside of poker.

big thumbs up... (also tommy, make ur book cheaper in germany plz...)

With regard to playing the blame game...at what point are you responsible to speak the truth (right speech)?

There's a difference between falsely blaming others or circumstance for your own weakness, or correcting others' accusations out of a sense of "justice", and communicating to others (and oneself) the truth for the sake of the greater good.

That monk needs to say to that girl, "I was in my garden with my fellow monks (or wherever he was) when you said I got you pregnant."

Because, it's better for the girl and those involved to face reality as it is. Plus, there may be some guy out there running around getting girls pregnant and taking off. A reality that people should be aware of.

Just as, in poker, it's much better to say, "I missed that turn bet" or "I got outplayed" or "I shouldn't have played that hand OOP" rather than blame luck, your opponent, or simply shrug and do nothing about it.

Speaking the truth plainly to others and yourself, not for the sake of feeling vindicated or out of a sense of a justice, but for the sake of the truth...is a better course of action.

The mp3 version of this episode definitely is not on par with the previous episodes. The audio isn't as good as the video version which the prior episodes there was little difference in quality.

We were toying with various audio settings on this one. I have posted a more standard (higher quality) mp3 and wmv.
