Default Poker Mags

I have a subscription to Card Player. Are any of the other ones that recently hit the market (all-in, poker pro, etc.) any good? I flipped through a couple of them, and they looked kind of cheesy. To be fair though, I didn't really read anything in them, just fast flipped.

Default I read 'em at Barnes and Noble

And none seem to have that much worthwhile, in my opinion. Bluff is probably the best of the also-rans. But CardPlayer is far and away a superior read.

Not to be a prick, but....
Isn't Cardplayer Magazine available for Free? I read it free on their website.
Or are there extra articles or something in the actual magazine?

I like having a hard copy. I read the latest issue on the plane today, for example... obviously, I wouldn't have been able to if I was relying on an internet connection. And usually, when I'm on the internet with nothing better to do, I'd rather be playing poker than reading about poker.

I see...
I bought the first issue of PokerPro... I didn't buy the second, and wouldn't recommend it for anyone other than a beginning player who likes watching the Stars on TV, but isn't sure of what hand beats what...

If I had to say something nice about it....
Well....
Ummmmm......
It has lots of pretty pictures.
