 Could you list the poker news websites that you visit on a regular basis (few times a week)?

Mine are:

www.pokernews.com
www.pokernewsdaily.com
www.cardplayer.com


And that's about it. I'm sure I'm missing out on quite a bunch of great sites out there, I would like to make up for it. And of course I did look in google, I simply want an opinion of real people Smiley

Thanks

I actually don't look for poker news that often and important stuff that does come up typically gets posted here on the HPT forums. If I'm jonesing for poker news I'll just do a google news search for the term "poker."

One thing I *hate* is when a link takes me to an aggregator website like roundersbuzz which gives you a few line snippet then makes you click through to get to the content.

I use either Bluff Magazine or Poker Table Ratings. One thing that you can do is add Bluff to your facebook if you have a FB account and they update their page constantly with news which comes in your updates.

Is this the website that you speak of: http://roundersbuzz.com/

Or something else?

Also, would you mind explaining why you hate it? Smiley It seems to me like a quite cool website, if only it wasn't so full of spam.. lol

Yes, that is the site. In the event that you are serious. The reason I hate that site is they do not have any original content, they only aggregate content that others have created. If I follow a link to their site I have to click through their site to get to the story I want to read. It's an extra step that doesn't add any value.

Yes, I was quite serious Smiley I've never seen this site before, so I'm curious.

You have an interesting point of view, too. From my perspective, it would seem that the benefit of this website is in making it quicker to find interesting news. Instead of visiting 15 websites, for example, you visit just this one and follow the links from there (sounds like something I was looking for Smiley).  You do not agree that this adds value?

Yes, it can be useful if you go to an aggregation site as your final destination. I just don't like how their links end up on other sites which force an extra hop.
