Is Rec.Gambling.Poker still worth reading?

RGP = Spam city

Hellmuth posted on internet forums? Oh man.......

RGP became kind of pointless about 4 years ago. I suspect that a lot of the people posting then thought it was crappy compared to four years before that too...

So its glory days were probably the mid-1980s, when it was just Chris Ferguson talking to himself...

Late 90s I think, perhaps 2000. They had Negreanu posting, Lederer, Hellmuth, Abdul, and random other worthwhile people. Also, Terrence Chan has a good story of how he was "head hunted" by the owners of PokerStars to consult on the setting up of the site, thanks to his RGP presence.

What price someone looking back in 10 years and say "Yeh, the mid two thousands were the best time on 2 + 2, they had aba posting, clayaiken, barry greenstein" etc...

Reading my old RGP posts is always a good laugh.

Abdul was the man though, and I thank him very much for all of my monies.

I cannot read it, literally.
