Today's guest on CPG is a living legend in the poker world, the author of Elements of Poker, Painless Poker, and Waiting for Straighters… the great Tommy Angelo.Tommy is no garden variety poker coach, he's more like the Vince Lombardi of poker coaches, having been a grinder for over 30 years with a who's who list of clients who have gone to to chase their own poker greatness. In broad strokes, he places great emphasis on mental health and reducing unhappiness, as a means to increasing profit and well-being. Lately, Tommy's been busy whipping up videos in a series called “PokerWords” on YouTube that you can check out by clicking through on his showpage ChasingPokerGreatness.com.This is Tommy's third go around as a guest on CPG and, if I get my way, he'll be on many more future episodes to come.Between you and me, it's great that I get to share mine and Tommy's conversations but that's totally secondary as far as I'm concerned. He's such a wealth of poker and life wisdom that every time I shut down the recording I feel so incredibly blessed to be in his direct sphere of influence.Today, like in past episodes with Tommy, you're gonna journey through his colorful past, including hilarious poker stories from his Greatest Hits collection…And then we'll spend some time reflecting both on what's going on in the present as well as speculating about the future.Some Greatness Bombs you're about to hear include:- The No. 1 thing Tommy believes poker players get wrong.- Tommy's thoughts on what makes for good poker education in the modern day.- What life in the underground poker scene of the 80's was like.- And much, MUCH more!So without any further ado, I present to you poker legend, coach, and dear friend...

The third part will be released April 1 focusing on folding the small blind in limped pots. Tommy also talks about his recent experience doing live poker commentary. He graced us with some harmonica playing to start the episode and shared his perspective on his perfect day, which was quite inspiring. Connect with Tommy at TommyAngelo.com

After the success of episode 36 in which Tommy enlightened us on the subject of tiltlessness, we decided to make him our first repeat guest. In this episode he discusses his recent article Waiting for Straighters which you can read for free in web format or purchase the short ebook or audio book. We then tackle a poser on polarized vs merged 3-bet ranges and a cash hand from a listener (41:07), which features a daring turn bluff that needs some careful analysis.
