Poker author and coach Tommy Angelo has returned with a new installment of his popular "Tilt for Beginners" series at Learn.PokerNews. Tommy's latest entry finds him engaged in conversation with two characters who appear in his forthcoming book, Painless Poker. Here's how the story begins:
“What, precisely, is a bad beat?” said Alfonzo Calibri.
“A bad beat is when you lose a hand during which at some point you had a high statistical probability of winning the hand,” said Charlie Archer.
“I don’t think a bad beat is defined by odds,” I said, “but rather, by pain.”
Click here for the rest of the story and to learn how when it comes to bad beats "we can look back on the strategy, but without the tragedy."
The four remaining players have sixty minutes to grab dinner. We'll be back in one hour.
