Tommy Angelo’s second book, A Rubber Band Story and Other Poker Tales, is an eclectic collection poker writing from one of the game’s most beloved authors. Because A Rubber Band Story spans more than a decade of Angelo’s career and runs the gamut from fiction to advice to memoir, it’s hard to generalize about the book as a whole. Much of it is funny, some of it is sobering, and reading it all provides good insight into the evolution of Angelo’s unique poker mind. Of course some material is stronger than others, but any fan of poker should find something of interest – probably a lot of interest – in these pages.

I enjoyed the book but felt it really paled in comparison to Elements. It’s a good read and a couple of the chapters have some real wisdom in there, but I haven’t really recommended it to any of the people I engage. However if you’re someone who is just looking for a good book to read, it’s worthwhile… but if you need a “how do I get better at the game” book it’s not very high on my list, while Elements is easily in the top 3.
The rubber band story and other pokers are really enjoyable and interesting.
