Default Re: Poker Mags...

I think that Poker Player magazine gives away more free-roll type seats to comps than virtually all the other mags and has content which is more in keeping with what I want to read. Some decent tit bits on strategy, some good interviews with top pro's, and also some good articles about people/events from back in poker history. Stu Unger, Amirillo Slim etc. I'd much rather read something about guys like that than some 19 year old Scandinavian who won a million on line playing 42 tables simultaneously!

They currently have a special offer on whereby you can get your first 3 issues for £1. See their website for details.

I also like the WPT magazine.

I personally do not subscribe to any mags as I visit bricks & mortar casino's on average once a week and you can pick up free copies in most of them.

The Broadway casino in Birmingham has at least 5 or 6 different mags in the poker room. So when I go there I tend to come out weighed down with reading material.

The Isle casino, at Coventry's new Ricoh Stadium, which I've been going to more often lately (because of it poker league) has only one or two different ones of poor quality.

It mainly has the ones that are printed in 3 different languages, and they annoy the hell out of me.

I would suggest that you try and visit a casino (if that's possible) and get a handful of freebies before taking the plunge and subscribing to one.

Hope that helps.
