What To Expect In A Typical Poker Magazine

There are many poker magazines these days, especially on the Internet. You will tend to see an advertisement of one or another magazine whenever you conduct a poker-related search on most search engines, with such an advertisement naturally appearing under the â??sponsored links’ section. Whenever you sign up for a free poker playing room, or whenever you sign up for one or another poker tutorial, you will still tend to be invited, by way of advertisement, to also subscribe to one or another poker magazine.

Of course, if you are a true poker enthusiast, you will find the idea of subscribing to a magazine quite attractive. But just before doing so, you will tend to find yourself in need of understanding what you can expect in such a magazine.

The truth of the matter is that the numerous poker magazines available nowadays vary greatly in terms of content. Who the publishers of a given magazine are, what their objectives are, which country they are from, and whether it is a free (or sold) magazine are amongst the factors that will go into determining what content to expect in the typical poker magazine.

In general, though, most of these magazines will tend to have a number of common content categories.

The first content category in a magazine would be the â??poker news’ category. New developments in poker will tend to be found here. Stories about the spread of poker, new emergent poker variants as well as news about poker personalities and results from past poker tournaments (as well as announcements of upcoming poker tournaments) will usually be found in this category. How rich the content in this category turns out to be is, of course, something that will tend to vary depending on a number of factors; but most magazines will usually try to at least have something in this section.

The second content category in the typical magazine would be the â??features’ category. Remarkable poker playing stories, stories about how poker is played in the different parts of the world and reports about little-known poker variants are usually to be found here. Since the writing of these features will usually be easier than the reporting on poker news, most magazines will, quite understandably, be richer in this regard.

The third category in the typical poker magazine would normally be the â??reviews’ category. Usually a given poker playing room or a given casino where poker is played will be critically explored here. A poker training software program, or a poker odds calculator, or yet still a poker tracking software will usually be the subject of review here.

Then there is the fourth category in the typical magazine: the advertisement and endorsements category. Whether it is a paid for poker magazine or a free one, it will tend to have this section, but with the free variety naturally being richer in this regard. So there you have it: a brief overview of what to expect in a typical poker magazine.
