Between Card Player, All In, and Bluff which magazine is the best?

[QuickLearner]

I think they're all tied for "lousy," but I suppose Card Player has more meat to it. A few of the columnists are good (Roy Cooke for instance). All of them seem to be competing for the "People Magazine" audience with fluff and personality features. There's nothing wrong with that if it's what you're after, but if you want to learn about poker the signal/noise ratio is pretty low.

The 2+2 online magazine is probably better for strategy, etc.

hmmm... I picked up a copy of these mags if they are laying around a card room and I'm waiting for a seat but outside that I would sure wouldn't pay for a copy of any of them... I think QuickLearner hit on the head with twoplustwo being much better reading...

But if I was forced to pick I'd probably go with Card Player...

Agree on Cardplayer, but all are generally fluff. Good to look for new places to play and promotions.

Anybody ever read Poker Life? I guees it's a poker magazine for the rich.
