Cool article on the old NYC Club B&M Scene.
Apologies if this is misplaced but feels like it should go here since it's about B&M Cardrooms.

Many of my biggest wins have come from sitting in a very deep game that has been going all night or longer with a bunch of stuck tired players. Don't be intmidated by big statcks, it just means there's more on the table to win. |

Just sayin' |

Great article, much better writing than what you normally see in poker mags.

Re: Cool article on the old NYC Club B&M Scene.
nice article. and only knowing underground uncapped 5/10 games myself i couldn't help but feel a little bit at home with the article. (espically the high rakes and payout times due to credit)

After reading this and the Andy Beal coverage, I think I have to take Bluff a lot more seriously. Excellent article and analysis. [/ QUOTE ] Out of all the non-CP mags I've read/gotten out of poker rooms, Bluff has been the only magazine that got me to seek out a second issue and then more for future reading. I've found Bluff to have a couple solid articles, features, and newsbits that wouldn't be found in CP, such as the Beal thing, plus their online coverage which may not be up-to-par with what can be found on the Web, but miles ahead of any coverage CP bothers to give it. The layouts in the mag are a little bit "busy" for me in spots, but that's nitpicking. In some cases Bluff has been a better read than CP. It's a very good #2 right now that's easily got the best shot of toppling CP. |
