The Top 10 Poker Blogs
Posted by Bill @ 5:30 pmIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I was doing some research recently and according to the subscriber stats on Bloglines, these are the top ten poker blogs:
Tao of Poker
Guinness & Poker
Up For Poker
DoubleA’s
LasVegasVegas
BadBlood
Grubby
Cards Speak
Mean Gene
Bill’s Poker Blog
Network gambling/poker blogs CardSquad and OddJack are on opposite ends of the spectrum. CardSquad ranks up there with the top 2 or 3 poker bloggers while OddJack falls far short of the top 10 list.
Also of interest is that the only pro poker bloggers who draw enough subscribers to be in the top 10 poker blog list are Daniel Negreanu who ranks somewhere in there between Bill’s Poker Blog and Mene Gene, and Paul Phillips who just edges out DoubleA’s blog.
Obviously, the data set being used is based entirely on people who subscribe to RSS feeds using one particular tool. Some sites may get tons of web traffic but not many RSS subscribers. Who knows? Anyway, just thought it was interesting and figured I would throw it out there as some random tidbit of information.
[UPDATE] BG points out that I missed some alternate RSS feed URL’s. With those counted in, OddJack actually is sandwiched in between Mene Gene and my blog.

Mean Gene added these pithy words on Oct 14 05 at 9:15 pmYou think you’re passin’ me? You think wrong. Prepare yourself for a round of hysterical begging and pleading for subscribers. And no way is some wannabee like Daniel Negreanu gonna get the best of me.
wil added these pithy words on Oct 15 05 at 6:46 amI love reading Daniel’s journal, but I can’t believe he doesn’t publish a full feed. It makes me want to write a serious scraper that will make an XML feed for me to read in Bloglines.

I agree. Especially since Daniel doesn’t seem to be aware of this limitation and rarely starts his posts off with a good opener. He’ll have a post about his heads-up match with some pro and it’ll start off with:
Wow, what a busy week. I’m feeling a little ragged.
That’s the part that shows up in Bloglines. Then the next sentence will be:
And I played the most intense session in my whole life. I was heads-up against . . .
Somebody has to talk to his webmaster! Hey, if his webmaster reads this: Dude, I’ll write you a feed generator that publishes a full feed for free if you’ll use it.
