I don't know if Tiffany is qualified to write a poker column. However, I do know that if she wrote one, it would take her a really, really, really, really, really . . . long time.

Looking forward to Norman Chad's commentary on her play. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You don't need to be qualified to write anything about poker. Just look at Warren's work.

Wow - OP has a point, that's for sure.

Varkonyi's skill (or lack thereof) aside - this article reads like it was written by a four-year old! It sounds like a commercial for a something with a brand name of "Lucky".

"Get your new Lucky (TM) shades, you can't lose!"

Pan to Varkonyi flopping a full house with Q-10 offsuit - he gives the camera a thumbs-up and says "Now that's lucky!"

Seriously, although I've read quite a few poker books, I've never read a poker magazine - are they really all just a bunch of fluff like this? I kind of figured that any magazine that's given away free in casinos ain't gonna be packing the most high-level information, but this is bad.

Although, I guess it's the appeal of schlock like this that makes fish at a 4/8 table talk for ten minutes about what cards Phil Ivey was holding when he bluffs someone but still cold call raises with J7o. It's like the guy who thinks that he's a "football expert" because he memorizes a bunch of stats but only knows what a post route is from playing Madden...lol...

Only a noob would run a post route in Madden. It's all about the Slant N Go and hook patterns

lol - not exactly my point but you are quite correct. Really, against most junky opponents and all CPU levels except all-madden, you can throw to the dudes running the fly routes 100% of the time and still toss quite a game.

I liked McManus' book overall. I cringed however, whenever he mentioned T.J. Cloutier and his miserable publications. Taking the plane to Vegas and choosing Cloutiers Championship No limit book as your reading material seemed to me a sure-fire way of going down the toilet in the first round. So he's still quoting Cloutier eh? I'm not going to bother even clicking on the link.

I have not seen her play at all yet so i couldn't say...I think most people that make it far in the WSOP main event are hacks especially in the last few years...I think alot of players are getting undue credit and aren't really that good. I know I am not good enough to be playing at that level....but alot of these guys just get LUCKY...but keep track of how many major tournaments they win a year...even I can get to the final table or close to it once in a while online against a field of 6K players....
Tiffany Williamson qualified writer? As of right now...have to say no!

Mostly poker literature is written either by writers who can't play poker, poker players who can't explain what they do, and lots of people who can't do either.¨

Who is Ed Miller, and why is he qualified to write a book? Topics of yesteryear are always fun.
