Hello Mr. Angelo, or Tommy, or Tommy Angelo,

I just had to write and tell you how impacting your book was to me. I have read it like reading the Bible, soaking in each nugget of wisdom, and it has completely changed my game. I recommend this book to EVERY SINGLE poker friend I have, and I call it "my Zen of Poker" book.

Having gone through a couple of ruts and a couple of tilts in my game, I was feeling pretty bad about my poker playing. Almost to the point of quitting because I felt like I was just not good enough, nor would I ever be good enough, to continue on in my favorite sport.

I had gone to my local casino and played about two hours too long. In a $2-$5 spread no-limit game I bought in for $300, and played for about two hours having made an additional $200. I was tired and knew I should quit, but could not pry myself up from the chair for some reason. Needless to say that I went on tilt and left with nothing. As I walked out of the casino I felt terrible, and mad at myself because I knew better. I felt like I needed to quit once and for all.

But then …

I found your book, and it completely changed my game in so many ways. Most importantly, mentally. I've read all the books on strategy, and "how to win", and the like, but never have I read anything so revolutionizing as your book.

Thanks for being my "Grand Master" of poker, and helping me turn my game around.
