Angelo: Fastrolling

[jfk]

I'll join the camp of the underwhelmed.

Granted that there are many well respected posters here who hold Tommy in very high regard but I'm unsure for whom this sort of advice is directed or particularly useful. Are there cardroom regulars who're seeking counsel on the best ways to showdown their hands?

Though the spirit of the article is very well intentioned, in my experience my own tendency to fast roll (and play fast) is something which angle shooting types constantly try to exploit. As such, I tend to be increasingly willing to sacrifice the good intent thematic of Tommy's advice to make sure that I'm not at a deficit in the swap of information.

Can we call this a mulligan and get a second, strategy oriented post in the books/pub forum?

Tommy's writing is mostly smoke. It's not a good enough read to be entertainment (ala Biggest Game in Town or Positively Fifth Street), yet doesn't have enough strategy to help most people win more. Never have understood his appeal, but lots of folks seem to like his stuff.

In the same vein, Ray Zee is both more amusing and also often gets some real poker wisdom into his stuff.

I'm buying the damn book.
Even before I posted once on her I'd been reading/enjoying Tommy's posts.
I love the thought process he goes through and once he got his website up and rolling I found myself checking it often for more articles.

Nice work---I've enjoyed all of it.
