The battle of poker magazines....

Which do you think is better.
Cardplayer or bluff......
Personally I like both of them about the same.
Although bluff does send me lots of free stuff

zjohnzzz · Aug 13, 2009

oops bluff is my choice must have aa on my mind sure could use it right about now

greywind50 · Aug 13, 2009

I also like both of them. I couldn't decide which is better.

lcid86 · Aug 13, 2009

Bluff is my favorite. But, Rounders has some very good pictorials!

pokermajick · Aug 13, 2009

Well for me I would say Cardplayer. But that is mostly because I read it more often as I can pick it up for free via the casinos around here.
Bluff I don't have that option so I read it less.

Just my .02
See you at the felt.

Cardplayer all the way. Foxwoods often has both in the poker room for free, so I always grab both or what I can get. But Bluff is like the People Magazine of poker magazines. I have no use for poker gossip, I want useful articles. Additionally the few real articles they have tend to be tourney, so useless to me. Cardplayer has some real stuff. I'd like to know if there are any others out there, besides the oversized magazine they also give away at foxwoods, with the Caro articles. The only part of that one I read most of the time too.

Card Player for me as well. Free copies in the Reno poker rooms and great articles from guys that have been around the block a time or two.

luckytvguy · Aug 14, 2009

what do you guys get from those magazines?i prefer read books when i have time.those books can give me systematic idea on how to play.

disdad · Aug 14, 2009

I used to have a subscription to Card Player and I injoyed it. It looks like I should give Bluff a try. I think I have only read 1 issue of Bluff.

StormRaven · Aug 14, 2009

Cardplayer for me as well. I love the short, sweet & to the point strategy articles.

Ernster86 · Aug 14, 2009

I bought WPT magazine today, really enjoying it. Lots of interviews and strategy guides, much better than Bluff I must admit.

There are a lot of the time that the magazine's have a lot of that information in them as well. There are pro columnists that will write strategy articles and such for the magazines that, although they are not TOO in depth like a book, can help out a lot if you absorb the information. You can get a lot of similar information on their websites, along with Pro's blogs. Cole Smith writes a lot of interesting articles on his site, and Tony G used to as well, although I haven't seen any by him in a while.

I like the hand analysis in card player... it helps reinforce the basics

roundcat · Aug 14, 2009

Bluff is more entertaining, and Card Player stronger on strategy. Both warm my heart when I see them in the mailbox.

pokermajick · Aug 15, 2009

The nice thing about card player too is that you can read it for free online via their site. Anyway this used to be true. I am not sure if this is still an option or not as I have not visited the site in awhile.
Just a thought for those wondering about it.

See you at the felt.

Mase31683 · Aug 15, 2009

Bluff doesn't show up at Foxwoods very often these days, but I'm pumped when it's there. Cardplayer's always available, but I like Bluff more.

ukaliks · Aug 15, 2009

neither! I read PokerPlayer which is a UK based magazine and a good one too.

WHAT?

Mortis · Aug 17, 2009

I have never actually read Card Player before, but they carry Bluff around here, so I choose Bluff. Though, I do like Card Player's online hand analysis.

Like I stated above. CardPlayer is free to read online.
You should give it a shot.
The price is right and that way you get double the poker.

Bluff do an Australian edition that covers local stuff as well as the best of the content from the international magazine, so that's where my vote has to go
