UK poker magazines

Do they exist? I haven't seen any in the shops. Was just thinking it would be a gap in the market if they didn't.

I found stories online about two magazines called bluff and Poker Player. Has anyone read them, are they any good?

There's normally 2 or 3 knocking around at my local card room. Dont know how good they are. Flicked through Poker Player once. It was just full of articles by "celebrity" poker players. It wasnt tailored to a particularly high standard.

There is one called "Inside Edge".

99% certain it is sold only by WH Smith.

There has been a boom in poker magazines that have came out recently on the UK market mainly pokerplayer,flush,inside edge and another I'm sure is called WPT poker. The problem you may have is that they seem to all be affiliated to one retailer which is WHSmith.

Poker Player is possibly the leader at the moment - it should be available i would have thought at somewhere like WH.Smiths.

It is a kind of introduction to poker with a free and easy to read style with a lot of good articles

I also subscribe to CardPlayer Europe - which im sure you can guess is the European version of Cardplayer magazine, quite cheap really @ just $5 a month (£2.50 ish).

Its more article based but with a lot more news from the European scene along with selected pieces from CardPlayer.

Bluff magazine was supposed to have released a European version a while back

but to be honest even their own site does not seem over confident with it - they are still showing March & April issues

Also WPT Poker http://www.wptmag.com/ although ive heard this may be more WPT biased in its coverage.

Hope thats a help

I subscribe to PokerPlayer magazine, quality read, with lots of good info. I pay £5 a year for 12 issues delivered, I think you can still get that deal at the website. It does have an interview with a pro every month, but it also has good features on how to play all different poker variations, MTTs, SnG, live, and how to play hands preflop like A-rag. All in all an excellent read. My local casino has the latest european poker magazines every month, i normally pop in and swipe them.

Thanks for the info. Looks like Inside Edge is more of a sports betting magazine, but I'll look out for Poker Player and CardPlayer Europe.

Inside Edge WAS sports betting but has very much moved over to poker now and is excellent, as is WPT Magazine and Pokerplayer. Pokerplayer is the best for freeroll competitions, the other 2 are excellent for strategy articles.
