Is Card player mag useful??

[onegymrat]

Card Player is an entertaining poker magazine if you are looking for general news, views, gossip, tournament results, etc. Look at it almost like an Entertainment Weekly would be for an avid movie goer. To compare the advice in Card Player versus 2+2 books would be unfair, since the magazine is mostly for entertainment rather than instructional purposes.

Although I only thumb through Card Player when I'm waiting for a table these days, I very much like the writings of Jim Brier and Barry Tenanbaum. Roy Cooke used to add great thoughts, which most of the quality stuff is now in Real Play of Hands, but not so much anymore.
