I'm guessing this was posted about previously and I missed it and I have no idea how old this news is.

At Barnes and Noble yesterday I picked up 3 poker mags for general page-flipping browsing while sipping a coffee.
The mags were Bluff, All-in and Pro Poker Player (I think it was called)??

In 2 of those mags (and I don't remember which ones) 2+2's very own tourney-superstar ZeeJustin was featured.

One was an article BY ZeeJustin introducing himself and a little mini-bio of how he got into poker (he's going to write future articles).

The other was by Ed 'Bolivia' Moncada where he profiled a couple of talented players...one of which was ZeeJustin.

Congrats to Justin for the publicity and for landing the gig writing the articles for one of the mags.

I'm pretty sure that both of these came before his most recent online-tourney success (where he finished 1st in a Party tourney for $110k)

It came before his 1st finish in the Stars $500K. But if you are referring to his 2nd finish in the Party Million, then this was covered in at least one of the articles.

The only one I read was the profile that came from the Bluff magazine featuring Antonio Esfandiari on the cover. I showed the article to my girlfriend who didn't quite understand why this was so exciting for me.

Sorry about the slight hijack, but are these mags worth purchasing on a regular basis?

i think it was bluff with antonio on the cover

i don't think it's worth purchasing, just goto a local card room and take one, most card rooms give out bluff/card player/other random ones for free

if my card-room hasn't run out then I pick them up for free when down there.

At B&N I'll page through them.
I will very rarely actually buy one of them...only if there is more than 1 article I think is worth keeping or reviewing again or more closely.
This does not happen very often though.

For the most part, I would say that they are not worth purchasing.

Yes...I mixed up the two tourneys.

he finished 2nd on Party 2 or 3 months ago for $100k+.
he finished first on Stars maybe 3 wks ago for another $100k+.

Obviously the latter finish wasn't mentioned in either of the magazines.
Looking forward to reading Zee's future columns (which I think were in 'Pro Poker Players' perhaps?) and certainly he'll be mentioning his big Stars win in there at some point.
