JoeyFinngars 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I would like a poker magazine subscription as a gift for Christmas but I am not sure which mag is best. If anyone out there has any suggestions as to which magazine to subscribe too please feel free to drop a line. I have been reading Cardplayer for the past little while online, do they offer anything extra for the subscribers?Any recommendations would be helpful, Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

dbrent2 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Bluff or Cardplayer, I like both, and have a sub. to Bluff Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeBet 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Bluff is the best, imo. The whole thing is much more "entertainment" oriented versus Cardplayer. It still has plenty of detailed technical stuff (that fills cardplayer after all the ads) but the feel is completely different. I really like their regular writers: Laak, Antonio, Tilly and Michael Craig amongst others. Laak, imo, is a very good writer and of course, Michael Craig is Michael Craig.

djrobo 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Cardplayer articles are all available online, so there is no reason to have a subscription as far as I am concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
WhatArunAA 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I get magizines each month from Poker Pro, Bluff, and All In.. I like All In but Cardplayer is probably still the best overall Link to post Share on other sites

You get more issues with REAL useable poker strategy, and their tournament coverage is second to none. I used to buy Bluff then stopped because you get the same information from CP without the irrelevant junk like what Antonio Esfandiari had for dinner or how many hot chicks he saw on his trip to Europe.Repeat, Bluff=Garbage.

Incubus77546 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Cardplayer articles are all available online, so there is no reason to have a subscription as far as I am concerned.Well thats what it seems, but there are actually A LOT more articles in the magazine than they have on their website.I'd say definately subscribe to Cardplayer.

showstopper24 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 bluff is good.bluff is the best-the articles are interesting and i really like the pros articles better than the pros on any other magazine. tilly, esfandiari, and laak especially are good becuase they don't talk about poker too much-they write about funny or interesting stories (like how laak escaped a burning building or about antonio's friends wedding that lasted 3 days) Link to post Share on other sites
FileError404 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well, Cardplayer comes out every 2 weeks, Bluff only once a month. With about the same subscription price, your EV goes way up there for CP. I kind of compare the 2 to the likes of Entertainment Weekly (Bluff) and Premiere ( CP). CP is more serious and Bluff is more fun to read. I get them both ) Link to post Share on other sites
