Ya, I give ALL IN one year. Very poor customer response (no email returned on my inquiry of why it was taking so long...) and not much real content in the mag at all, just pretty pictures.

Haven't seen BLUFF yet, but I'm a subscriber of Card Player. VERY good mag. Only problem with that magazine, is that there are so many good articles in it that it is hard to find time to read them all. At least you can also read them on-line, but it's just not the same...

I FINALLY got my first issue of "ALL IN". Overall, pretty weak, no real tech/strategy articles. It seems to be geared as a "companion" to all the Poker on TV. They do have a nice section/profiles of all the players in the National Heads-Up Tournament with some nice full page photos. Also a break down of the Celebrity game, NBA game and NASCAR game. If anything, it might be good for getting some autographs. No full page photo of DN though Took me all of 5 whole minutes to read the entire mag.

I will also be there the end of June celebrating the big 40 on July 1st.My wife and I are staying at Mandalay Bay, for the pool, and I hear they also have a good poker room. Besides there, I'm planning on hitting the Wynn, MGM (new poker room) and Excalibur. Of course one session at least at the Bellagio just so I can say I played there.Hope to see ya there and GL.

Pacific is notorious for their disconnects. Of course when you contact them, 90% of the time they will blame YOU. I was playing at my usual $5/10 table with wired Aces on the button, I raise and it ends up getting capped with 3 players. Flop is all rags, BB bets out I raise and he re-raises me back. At this point I lose my connection. I am now furious at home. I finally get re-connected and the BB says he only had AK, I let him know I had AA and did not intend to "fold", he then al least said "sorry". I contacted Pacific and they did at least re-fund all monies I put in that pot. They
