Fantastic Online Poker Recommendations 1

Perhaps as a result of online poker's ever growing popularity, an amazing range of online poker magazines have come up over the last one decade or so. Indeed, so large will be the number of such online poker magazines that we are now actually seeing web pages dedicated either to ranking them or serving as directories to them actually coming up.

What are termed as online magazines on poker vary substantially, from the simple one story per issue affairs to huge multi-featured affairs, which are typically designed and presented in the same way as all of the leading online magazines worldwide.

The simple one story per issue online poker magazines typically take one particular facet of poker - maybe a particular player, a particular poker rule, a particular poker tournament or pretty much any other particular thing about poker, and focus their full attention on it; approaching the issue from different perspectives, interviewing different authorities about it, getting the poker community's general views on it - and ultimately coming up with what often turn out to be quite interesting stories.

The better 'featured' poker magazines online, on the contrary, tend to have different sections, say a poker news section, a poker tournaments section, a poker player's highlight section as well as a poker opinion section - each with what can turn out to be (depending on the particular magazine one happens to be looking at) some great features.

In a poker magazine using a four part (news, profiles, tournaments and opinions) format, the developers will typically dedicate the news section to emerging issues on the poker field - which could possibly be anything from a newly launched poker website, to a newly introduced poker playing rule; and basically anything else in that series.

For the profiles section, the poker magazines online typically interview among the recognized and highly accomplished poker players, and thanks to advancing technology, these types of online poker magazines are these days able to present the interviews they so execute in audio or video formats, so that the subscriber doesn't have to read them in text - that may be a really attractive feature to those of us who hate having to absorb information by reading.

Online excellent poker online magazine's approach to the tournaments section tends to vary from magazine to magazine, with some opting not to have it altogether, some opting to carry only information about notable poker tournaments which are very likely to attract everyone's attention, and with yet others opting only to carry information about poker tournaments whose organizers pay the magazines to have their tournaments featured.

Most online poker magazine subscriptions are free or sold at very nominal monetary costs. Rather than charge poker magazine subscriptions on the readers, most developers of these magazines are increasingly opting to rely more on the advertisement revenue (where, for example, various online casinos offering poker pay to advertise on the magazines). Even for the magazines that charge subscription fees on their readers, the costs of such poker magazine subscriptions are typically heavily subsidized by various 'interest groups' who pay to have their ads appear on the magazines.
