5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars with an asterisk, December 5, 2003

That is, why pay to have it delivered when you can get it for free online at www.cardplayer.com. All the articles minus the full page ads. Plus all the archived issues back to March 30, 2001 (as of December 5, 2003). If you insist on getting the "paper" issues, you can still subscribe to the paper magazine at their website for less than what you'll get here.

That said, the magazine/website itself is definately worth 5 stars. It is more complete that any other poker-oriented magazine or website that I've seen.

Shuffle up and deal!

4.0 out of 5 stars Card Player Magazine - for people who play to win!, October 21, 2003

CPM is distributed for free in many card-rooms and casinos. Because of that more than half of the pages are full-page ads for gaming equiptment, for poker-tournaments and for card-rooms, brick & mortar as well as internet-based. If you (like I) live too far away to pick Card Player up for free twice a month it's a treat to have your copy brought to your mailbox. I've been an avid reader of CPM for many years, a subscriber for close to one year, and I'm a big fan.

All issues contains articles covering poker-strategy, low and medium stakes ring games and tournaments, reportage from big poker-tournaments, and legislative, judicical and taxation-related info. The articles are mostly written by professional poker-players from CPM's roster, including some of the most successful tournament players. It's not unusual to see the same tournament, sometimes even the same hand being analyzed and discussed by different players, each from their own perspective.

Articles on the psychology of poker, on common mistakes or misconceptions by players, and of course on the World Poker Tour all add up to make the magazine not only fun reading, but also a precious learning-tool for the aspiring poker-champion as well as the interested home-game amateur.

... instead of buying a subscription you should go to www.cardplayer.com and see all the articles of any of their magazines up to and including the newest edition. Then if you feel so inspired to get print copies, it'll be alot cheaper to get it from the CardPlayer.com site.

The forum at the site has alot of good info too. You don't have to be a member to read from the forum. Good Luck!
