Re: One Year Review as Editor

Let me add that I think your efforts and dedication appear to be impeccable.
But let's call a spade a spade here. You're simply not going to attract that many readers when there are a bunch of topics that nobody is really interested in, such as strategy articles on Badugi or Chinese Poker or the other unpopular games.
In my experience magazines are meant to entertain.
I think strategy articles are important, especially considering this is a 2+2 product, but at the same time I think this should only be one part of the formula.
I can think of a lot of interesting articles that don't really appear anywhere else right now, such as following some of the results of the high-stakes online cash games (there is a site that tracks these and the guy posts here as well) and following the legal landscape of online poker amongst other things.

There's all kinds of good info on the popular games. I appreciate reading about the less popular games even though I rarely play them. It helps you think about poker in a different way. There's still enough in the mag about hold em. Plus, I really like anything Yao writes on sports betting.
