Ithought this book would be great, but
To be honest the excerpt in the 2+2 mag does not look very interesting

question - what did you expect from the book? i ask because the quote was classic Tommy, it was exactly what I expect and would want to read. His specialty is in how to mentally approach the game and the adjustments that need to be made to be "one with the table".

I am a big fan of Tommy Angelo and agree with pokerpun's assessment; it was pretty unimpressive and not useful at all to an online player.

Tommy's book looks like it will be closer in concept to the psychological components of Barry G's book than a traditional strategy book, but thats fine since thought process is what separates an expert player from world class players. I know a lot of very good players on 2+2 in real life because I travel a lot for business and live in Vegas, the #1 "leak" in the best of this bunch's game is not strategic; its how they approach the game where the mistakes are commonly made.
I think topics such as Quitting, Anticipation, Fears, Moving Up, Entitlement and Self-Perpetuating Tiltlessness are challenges for all players yet its one of the least addressed components of a players game. I doubt very much anyone will find a magic bullet in Tommy's work, but you will find some self improvement - if (and only if) thats what your looking for.
