Critic reviews

Tommy Angelo's 2007 Elements of Poker is already a classic. After decades of experience as a player and a coach, Angelo identified 144 of poker's "elements" — stuff like A-Game, Tilt, Bankroll, Position, Running Good and Running Bad, Awareness, and much more. Witty and wise, stern and compassionate, Angelo's book is a reassuring guide for a challenging game.

Angelo recently revised and narrated an audiobook version of Elements. At seven hours and seventeen minutes, there's plenty of valuable material to (re)discover. Despite the absence of conceptual charts and illustrations — all available on his website — the audiobook is as accessible and relevant as ever.

As Angelo's readers already well know, Elements of Poker is less about playing poker than about how to be a poker player.

Best poker book of all time

…And I have read ‘em all.

Tommy is a gem and improves upon the original text in this audio rendition with nice string melodies to separate important sections and concepts.

Wonderful advice for poker and life

Wonderful advice for poker and life. I love the practical and simple advice that Tommy Angelo gives

Improved my play immediately!

Best poker book out there- even for those more experienced cash game players, you will learn at least 1 essential new tactic to improve your game. Tommy’s voice is also one of the best for audiobooks. I wish he would write another- I would buy it in a heartbeat.
