Phil Gordon Says Bluff Magazine Best in Industry. WTF??!!
I was over at ESPN Radio.com last night listening to the latest (3/28/07) edition of Phil Gordons radio show, The Poker Edge. He interviewed Eric Morris the co-owner of Bluff Magazine.
Phil said a number of times that Bluff was the "best poker magazine on the market" and "best poker magazine in the industry." Are you kidding me?? Cardplayer is MUCH BETTER than Bluff. When you read Cardplayer there are always a number of well written technical articles on poker that can help you improve your game, rather than a bunch of stupid poker foolishness. But what about Bluff?? Here are a few articles that appeared in the January 2007 issue: --Irrelevent poker backchat, --Pamela Anderson drops in for a chat, --Bar Bets: the Perfect Match, --Poker Like a Rockstar: Antonio Hit Europe, --Jennifier discovers the seedier side of Sin City, and so it goes, all the issue are like this. Even when they attempt to do a technical article the caliber is usually low and not even close to that of Cardplayer. And no, I have nothing to do with Cardplayer....but lets get real, Cardplayer is BY FAR the best poker magazine in the industry. |

They are both good magazines. Bluff Magazine named this the best poker forum. We agree on that, right?

Speaking of Cardplayer, is it harder to find at magazine/book stores? Barnes and Nobles doesn't carry it anymore that I know of, but they carry All In and Bluff. Also some local magazine stores don't carry it anymore, but carry Bluff and All In. What up with that?

Yeah, I used to subscribe to four poker magazines (mostly using cheap Party Poker points), and Card Player is the only one I have used my own money to renew.
I would rank them like this: 1.) Card Player 2.) All In 3.) Bluff 4.) Poker Pro Both All In and Bluff are fairly superficial, but I feel like All In makes more of an attempt to have substantive poker articles, and it also has a much cleaner design. There are many articles in Bluff that I found painful on my eyes to read; I can't understand how anyone can screw up the concept of "dark text on light background". Combined with the poor writing and general immaturity of many of the "lifestyle" articles, the whole packages comes off as really unprofessional. |
