Summary: Terrific Poker Information
Comment: This magazine is terrific if you are or know a poker player. It has a lot of information on tournaments, especially Texas Holdem. It has a good listing of the regular tournaments that happen in Las Vegas every day, although all the hotels are not in there. If you want to find out for sure if a specific hotel has a tournament you are best off to call that hotel to find out. Overall, though, this is a terrific magazine. It is a magazine that you find in Las Vegas by some of the poker rooms. If you order this magazine, though, be sure you follow the order process closely. I ordered it on December 14 and hadn't received it by February 8. I called the magazine itself and they did not have me on record. I had to call [...] who transferred me to their magazine department and they had advised I should have received it by January 13. They must have pushed it through because I received it about a week and a half later.

Summary: Card Player Improves Your Game.
Comment: I have been reading and enjoying Card Player for many years. If you learn one great play, it will pay for subscriptions for life. It is a great gift for a friend. I used to bring copies back from Las Vegas, and the West Texas poker players loved them. I write about poker. I learned a lot from Card Player. Texas Poker Wisdom

Summary: Got to get it
Comment: If you are into poker this is the best magazine out there. It's one of those magazines you can pick up over and over again because it is full of outstanding articles by some of the leading poker pros. All of their writers (of which there are regulars and then guest writers) have an obvious passion for the game, which translates into very well written and useful articles about the game. You'll also get to read interviews with some of the most influential poker people out there.

At the back of every issue is a current list of where all the casino tournaments are around America. Last time I went to Vegas I found it especially useful because I knew where and when all the tournaments were at the buy in I was comfortable with.

The price is outstanding too (especially if you buy direct from Card Player themselves) because you get two issues a month. A low cost one year subscription gets you 26 issues, so you always have something current and interesting to read about poker.

I can't honestly see a downside. If you are into poker, buy it. If someone in your life loves poker, this would make a great gift.
