Re: Card Player Magazine
Well, I'm biased because I write for the magazine (book reviews in virtually every issue; occasional features), but I think it's better for poker players (as opposed to poker fans). Every issue has real, useful strategy pieces, from guys like Matt Lessinger, Barry Tanenbaum, Al Schoonmaker, and, most recently, John Vorhaus.
There is a fair amount of tournament coverage, but let's face it: reporting on cash games just isn't that interesting.
Bluff has some good columnists, but they seem more concerned with the poker lifestyle (do you really care how Antonio Esfandiari parties?) than with the game itself.
