But yeah.. Bluff will be missed.. its strategy/hand analysis content was the best among the major publications.
I never read one bluff article so it's easy to see why it didn't work out. Reality is there's only enough fans for one poker online news place (not forums). 24/7 poker already exists on twitch. Most events can't be broadcasted soon after they happen due to editing time consumption or else they're showing very boring live poker. If anything I think it needs to stay within the casino nexus. Poker is replacing, not gaining fans at this point.
GPI is awful and needs to go away as it's not a metric of anything other than who did well in tournaments once.
Fantasy draft maybe for wsop is fine but that's super super niche.
