So I was going through articles in the online issue and the thought occurred to me: why is this guy writing an article?Obviously, people like Negreanu and Linda Johnson are completely legit and I take their advice seriously. Scott Fischman? Okay, maybe. But Varkonyi? Come on!...or maybe I'm missing something?

I was surprised by both Fishman and Varkoni being in CardPlayer. What's up with that?

Ever heard the cliche that those who can not do, teach?Anyway, you do not have to be a great poker player to be a good writer.

A 2-bracelet winner and a World Champion. I don't see why they would be in Cardplayer :?
I know Varkonyi is universally hated, but I have enjoyed some of his columns. And like it or not, he did win.

true, but do we really need to read such columns as him describing how he makes his wife sit in for him online and vice versa, or that little quizlet he put up this time around?
the guy's more suited for reader's digest, and even that's a stretch in itself.

I did say "some" of his columns. There are definitely some misses.

Scott Fischman is a very good player. I can't really comment on his writing ability because I haven't read many of his articles. I can understand his presence in the magazine.
I'm not familiar with Robert Varkonyi's poker skills or his writing skills. I did read one recent article of his and found it to be very meh.
