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

On another note, please stop talking like its an infomertail. We adore you already, no need to "convince" us.

Sorry, dude, that's just the way I talk. Like a game-show host. Ask anyone who knows me, I'm just like Ted Baxter in real life!

Hope you get the info inside the -mercial part.

FWIW, I can vouch for this. That's just the way Wayne talks.

Is 'being afraid of going broke' wrong view?

Since 'elements of poker' and this vid it's hard for me to tilt.
I read a lot about buddhism, and it's kinda silly i didn't see how I could use it in poker lol

But still, sometimes I have a session where my trips are never good, and I lose 3 bi's by getting coolerd,
I can't stop thinking: wow, if this continues, I go broke!!!

is that wrong view?

Excellent video!!!

Gone camping. Back Monday. Will reply to u and andy then. Bye!

epic series.

this kind of knowledge.

The concept of the hands that worry us the most matter the least was probably the thing that I liked most in this vid.
But I started thinking about some benefits to those long hand discussions about marginal spots, like in the clear cut decisions there is no need to really think deep but these kind of spots really force you to think and analyze the game, you also get to see the thought process of good players and learn from that.
Also I think from a math perspective there is always a correct decision no matter how marginal, so especially in todays games those who play these marginal spots better have higher winrates? I mean shouldnt we aspire to optimize our game in every little we can?

Again, great series and Im really excited to see the next part !

Dear Tommy,

i would like to know which point of view you have of poker in the context of
the principle of "right livelihood" of the eightfold path. Obviously it is debatable if playing poker for a living is in peace with this princple since we are "harming" the donkeys

Im just curious what you think about this. And great first episode btw.

Thanks a lot

We didn't roll tape for all the discussions we have endured on this topic. I am on your side and think pretty much the same. However, what Tommy and I are saying here is that often people make the most fuss over something that has very little worth, plus or minus. While I agree with you that it is helpful to hear how someone thinks, it is -EV to get into a pissing match over fractions of a bet.

Thanks for the reply.

I think we get into this quite a bit at the end of Episode 7. Tommy has real problems with this. Not surprisingly, I have a very simple view. Not sure if anyone would be happy with me giving it away, so I'll defer. Suffice to say the subject comes up and could have lasted eight hours, easy.

Next to our arguments over Neil Young versus Lynard Skynard, this is the one we have the best fun with. (I won the second one when I said Neil Young has never topped Freebird.)

Best wishes,

Wayne

I love this video and love DC. Nothing constructive to add, other than I enjoyed it immensely and looking fwd to the rest of the series!

Very good start to the series. I am getting a crash course in Tommy thinking this week and it is great. Listened to the Deuce Plays podcast yesterday over lunch, bought his book on the way home and then listened to this episode today.

Wayne - are you the same Wayne from Hold'em Radio at Binion's? If so I wish I would have listened to the Deuce Plays podcast sooner so I could have talked with you about this project before you left (I am a dealer at Binion's).

Thanks. Yes, one and the same. And on that front, I guess tonight is Wade's last tournament broadcast. Sad times for poker. I wish I had kept all my podcasts from Holdem Radio, just to prove to posterity I was here.

Was it the hat? lol

Best wishes.

We're working on making it available as an MP3 but it will be a while -- we have to overhaul quite a few things to be able to keep it subscribers-only but in MP3 format. Will update you guys when we have more on it.

Rob

Please dont drop this idea. I hope to have it on my pod as well.
This is rare case where listening may be better than watching.
Also if you get stuck with making technical changes - just post it as .mp4. We will download and rename it as mp3, no problem.

DC is definitely the better site of all the others. Good Stuff
