The respected on and offline publication Card Player.com kicked the
post-Easter week into gear with the launch of a new online poker section.
Tailored specifically to online poker enthusiast interests, whether online
poker neophytes, experienced players, or those simply interested in the
industry, its readers will have access to player rankings, poker room
reviews (by both Card Player staff and fellow users), online-specific
strategy articles and poker news, exclusive multimedia content, and
tournament listings. Here's a snapshot of the content rich new online
section of Card Player.com: Online Player of the Year - Similar to the
traditional Card Player Player of the Year race, the Card Player Online
Player of the Year (OPOY) pits Internet players against each other to finish
deep in the biggest tournaments on the biggest poker sites and earn points
toward their leader-board standings. Online player results and profiles -
Individual player profiles and results from the biggest names in Internet
poker to the relative unknowns. Tournament results - An easily sortable and
filterable listing of results from online poker's biggest tournaments.
Online poker room reviews - Detailed and objective room reviews are
available on the major poker sites, with new rooms being reviewed on a
regular basis. User ratings - For those who want to know what thousands of
their fellow players think of a particular site and all of its individual
features - or want to make their own thoughts known - the new section offers
user ratings. Ten different aspects of each site are available to rate and
view, and these ratings are combined to calculate an average score for every
poker room. Strategy and getting-started articles - Whether you're here to
get started in online poker or to hone your skills, the new section will
offer free guides and columns from top online players to suit your needs.
New articles will be available on a regular basis. Tournament listings -
Rather than opening up each individual poker site's software clients and
browsing their tournament listings on a one-by-one basis, users can visit
the new online poker section and view them all at once, filter the listings
any way they see it, and dive right in.
