Been reading up on Tommy Angelo. He's been confirming a lot of what I think of the game, but takes it to a weird level.
To Paraphrase:
There are 6 positions at a HE table:
Big Blind (BB)
Small Blind (SB)
Button (BT)
Cut-off (CO)
Hi-Jack (HJ)
Early position (EP) aka everything else
Comments?
Another Tommyism:
There are 4 hands
Stong hand, good position
Strong hand, bad position
Weak hand, good position
Weak hand, bad position
I generally play 3 out of 4.

HJ is an interesting name for the LPs other than CO and the button.
What's the story behind that?

And sure enough, every time I get to a final table -- and I’ve been to several dozen -- I face precisely the wrong opponents. In ring games, the opponents I make money from are playing bad, or running bad, or both. At a final table, every opponent is playing good, or running good, or both. And I know, for a fact, at the sign-up window, that this will be so. It’s like I am paying for a chance to win the right to play in the worst game in the room.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

The more I'm reading about this guy, the more I realize we've come to many of the same conclusions and the more confidence I have that I've come to the right ones.

Is 2+2 the only place where one can read his thoughts?
