New Poker Newspaper "Poker Player" relaunched in June

[Dynasty]

Gambling Times relaunched it's poker newspaper Poker Player in mid-June. Since I haven't noticed any posts about it, I thought I'd give some info.

Poker Player is actually returning after a 15 year hiatus. It was started in 1982 and ran for 6 years until the fall of 1988. Mike Caro and David Sklansky once wrote for the newspaper.

The newspaper will begin being published bi-weekly on 7/14 and hopes to be weekly before the end of the year. You should be able to get the newspaper free at you cardroom. If they aren't carrying it, I suggest you ask management to get it like they get Card Player.

Stanley Sludikoff is the Editor/Publisher. Contributing collumnists include Phil Hellmuth, "Oklahoma Johnny" Hale, Lou Krieger, Nic Szeremeta, Mike Sexton, I. Nelson Rose, and Nolan Dalla.

D'you know of any plans for an online version?

Is there a websight or subscription information? Some of don't have cardrooms around us and have to rely on the internet or actually fork over the $50+ a year to subscribe to Cardplayer.

Thanks for the info, Dynasty.

Just saw it for the first time last weekend. Gold Strike card room in Tunica had copies. Interesting "newspaper-ish" format.

Will CardPlayer buy this new magazine after a short time, or there now (since internet cardrooms) enough advertizing to go around?

Seems like a lot of the same writers.

Card Player has Sklansky, Malmuth, Schoonmaker, Cooke, Ciaffone, Negreanu & Tanenbaum (to name a few of my favorites).

The new revamped version of Poker Player has a ways to go to get to that level of poker wisdom, IMHO.


Best of Luck
