The First Edition Is Poor

Al Mirpuri · #1 01-11-2005, 11:46 AM

I think the first edition is poor but I do hope it gets better and I am sure it will. There was nothing innovative in it. I think as more and more people contribute it will get better no doubt.

However, it is a grand idea to have an Internet magazine and it will no doubt succeed.

What are the names of your articles?

this is a very poor argument in general, and it annoys me every time i see it being used.

the poster was entitled to his opinion, and was overall positive about the magazine.

Hi axioma:

You need to understand that this poster always takes this type of shot at us. In the past he has referred to me as a "snake oil salesman." I would only be surprised if he made a comment that wasn't negative.

There are now a bunch of poker magazines out there. I suggest that he pick up copy of those and enjoy them.

best wishes,
Mason

ahh, i didnt know there was history there.

it was more the "well lets see YOU try and do X" argument that prompted me to respond, rather than any feelings about the first issue.

Hi axioma:

I actually think the first issue is pretty goood. There are several articles there which are better than anything you'll see in any other poker magazines.

Best wishes,
Mason

Mason,

I wasnt casting any aspercions on the magazine here. I was replying to tek's comment, which I dont agree with. Just to be clear.

Cheers.

Compared to the junk in Cardplayer, 2+2 Mag is amazing. Shoots straight to the top of my list of poker-related things to read.

When I first heard about the online magazine I thought I read that there would be five or six articles per installment. Not only did we get double that, but all of them were worthwhile and entertaining. Obviously we all will enjoy some more than others, but I can honestly say that each article I read I was happy that I did so. I can't say the same thing about other poker writing that I've read elsewhere....
