I have mixed feelings about this book.
The part of me that loves Tommy wants the book to be a huge success.
The part of me that likes winning money at poker wants the book to disappear into discount bins.
The reciprocality stuff is indeed genius. As is his discussion on how to play
Like vermeer says, if you think you're serious about poker, you need to go buy this book pretty much immediately. And read it a handful of times.
Disclaimer: I love Tommy Angelo. My wife knows this and is okay with it. As is Tommy's wife, the lovely Kathleen. Tommy is a certifiable nut. He bounces off walls that most of us avoid via peripheral vision, but he's generous enough to share his view from the wall with us, and it enriches our lives tremendously.
I have been lucky enough to make music with Tommy on many occasions, and for those times, I owe him more than I'll ever be able to repay. He's a drummer of metrenomic accuracy and Al Jackson, Jr. taste. His piano playing may be better than his drumming. His sheer delight at making music trumps it all.
Look at it this way: buying Tommy's book will be good for your poker EV, but it will also be good for your karma, as you'll be supporting one of the coolest people on the planet.
Regards, Lee
P.S. Please buy it direct at Tommy's website. That way, he'll get all the money rather than Amazon getting a big chunk.
