Default Grade the September Magazine

The more honest feedback I get about the Internet Magazine, the better a job I will do as editor and the better future Magazines will be. So, I'd like to hear all positive and negative comments about the September issue.


I like breaking down the September issue like this:

Strategy Articles
Scoop Outs Compared to Other Outs in Omaha-8
Is it Getting Bubbly in Here?
A Critical Look at the Stop 'n' Go

General Poker
Bankroll Requirements for the Coinflip Game

Poker and Other Fields
Insights from Behavioral Game Theory: Manipulating Opponents
Poker and Finance Part II

Poker Journalism
30 Questions with Daniel Negreanu
A Few More Reviews
The Dying Days of Las Vegas 1-5 Stud

Non-poker Gambling
Betting NFL Regular Season Win Totals
Fantasy Football: Strategic Principles of Drafting

Classic Article
Modern Poker


For me, the primary strengths of the September issue were Tysen Streib's article "Is It Getting Bubbly In Here?" (which may cause a revision of HOH based on his criticism)and Frank Jerome's article "Scoop Outs Compared to Other Outs in Omaha-8". Both of these were great strategy articles.

Mason really liked both Jay McCauley's "Insights from Behavioral Game Theory: Manipulating Opponents" and William Jockusch's "Bankroll Requirements for the Coinflip Game".

I think the biggest weakness of this issue is that only three of the twelve articles are strategy articles and not one of them was for hold 'em cash games. I'd like to see at least half the articles focused on strategy. Without reaching that mark, I can't give the Magazine too high a grade.

My grade: B-
