(Warning: some explicit language in this episode) This week Jim Reid and the panel welcome Tommy Angelo back to the podcast, and the folks watching live on YouTube get to hear a little of Tommy’s harmonica music as a welcome to the show! The group discusses Tommy’s contributions to the poker world, what he is enjoying about the game these days, and how his style has changed over the years. He also describes different kinds of pain produced by the game of poker, boldly going where no one has gone before (into the intersection of poker and Star Trek, that is) and more!
