Summary: Not just online
Comment: I am wary in placing magazine subscription orders through anyone other than the actual company just in case any problems arise you can deal directly with the company.
Well, I placed a 2 year subscription order with All In online on 2/7/07. I got an email confirmation on 2/8/07. I was charged for the order on 2/12/07 and today 5/7/07, I have never received an issue. I called them on 4/2/07 to inquire about the order & was told that the representative couldn't assist me with my order and that someone else would call or email me within a week & that the next issue would be sent to me.
Here it is over a month later & nothing. I attempted to call thier CS number 1-866-456-0538 that I received in the email confirmation & was told that the number was disconnected or no longer in service. I have sent them an email inquiring about my order & asking for a refund but I am not holding my breath for any resolution.

Summary: Trouble with Subscription
Comment: Like all of these other people, I ordered this magazine in late June and still haven't received it as of September 11th. I plan to look up "All-In"'s phone number and contact them directly.

Summary: Just as Good as Cardplayer.
Comment: At least as far as the magazine itself is concerned, but Cardplayer is a vastly superior website with up to the minute tournament coverage, email, and a ton of other things. All In online is definitely worth checking out on a regular basis, however. I just read two hardcopy issues when I was in Vegas and I liked the features, pro coverage, interviews, and book reviews. Should you be miles from a nearby cardroom and have a jones to advance your knowledge then you can do so rather passively by reading a publication that closely follows the pro game.

Summary: One of the Best
Comment: This magazine is going to be really great once it gets more established. It seems some people have had problems with their subscriptions...I get mine at the store, so I cannot comment on that. I do know that ALL IN now has increased sales a lot in the past year, so they may be behind. As far as the magazine itself, the articles are very interesting and it appeals to those who want to read about the stars of poker. They did a thorough coverage of NBC's heads-up championship, without giving anything away. Every player was profiled, all 64 of them. It was awsome. BLUFF magazine, on the other hand, told who won the rounds and gave away the winner a month before it aired..I think that sucks. [...] I will not buy another BLUFF again for that reason...also, they are not even close to being as good as ALL IN.
The only competition would be Card Player. Card Player is the best and if you want more serious poker talk, Card Player may be your magazine. With regular articles by Hellmuth and Negreanu...among others, it is the cream of the crop. For me, I enjoy reading about the stars of poker and the upcoming events, etc. In the last ALL IN, Antonio Esfandiari wrote an article about his nights at the club and the hotties they met. Phil Gordon wrote about his tournament with Michael Jordan.
If you want fun and light poker reading, ALL In is the best. If you want strategic poker articles written by poker stars and complete tournament coverage, Card Player is your magazine. Bluff is a waste of money. I would only read BLUFF if someone gave it to me. Poker magazines only started hitting newstands in the last few years. Magazines like Card Player and ALL IN will get better and begin to restructure themselves to appeal to the general public. ALL IN is one of the magaines leading the way in presenting the poker world in an entetaining way.
Hope this helped some of you.
