Tommy Angelo is a poker player, poker coach, and author of several books including Painless Poker, Elements of Poker, and Waiting for Straighters. He is also busy making videos including a YouTube Series called PokerWords on his YouTube channel. His latest effort is a 3-part series called “On Position.” We chat about parts 1 and 2, which have been released, talking about Act Last Percentage and folding to 3-bets from behind. 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
