While it has always been our purpose to produce top-notch books and a top quality website,
it’s also our purpose to help point our readers (of both our books and the Two
Plus Two Poker Strategy website) to other entities that have value. So to this
purpose, I want to mention a relatively new website specializing in poker news called Subject: Poker.

In the past, many of those websites that came under the domain of poker news have and are
also large affiliate farms. This unfortunately has the potential to distort exactly what
is reported. Specifically, if a company is deriving a large portion of their income from
a certain source, it’s tough to be critical of that entity. Even though Two Plus Two has
a different business model from the affiliate farm business, we are not completely immune
to this problem either even though we do our best.

So, what is needed in our industry is a source of poker news that is completely independent
of those entities which could influence it to see the news somewhat different from the way
it may actually be, and that’s precisely the situation with Subject: Poker. Also,
if you look at their “About Subject: Poker” page, you’ll see that many of their team are
actually regulars on Two Plus Two, but they are also completely independent of us and in
fact have no advance knowledge that this Publisher’s Note is about them.

Anyway, we at Two Plus Two want to recommend this new site to those of you who are not yet
aware of it. I’m now a regular reader and have already learned a great deal about the goings
on in our world of poker and believe that many of you should also find it worthwhile.

PokerStars.TV is your best place to catch up on the world of poker, thanks to the host of online channels dedicated to bringing you the biggest events and the best players. This week you can see the final episodes of Season 2 of The Big Game, news of the European Tour Event in Estonia and the NAPT Mohegan Sun tournament.

The Big Game has proved to be one of the most popular poker shows, where talented amateurs pit their wits against some of the top professionals. Ken Hrankowski, a retired police officer, had a chance to overtake  Massimilaino Martinez as the most profitable loose cannon. You can see how he performed against players like Daniel Negreanu and Jennifer Tilly in the last show of the season and if he achieved his goal.

The NAPT was in Connecticut for the Mohegan Sun tournament and PokerStars.TV was there to bring you the best of the action. The main event attracted 400 top players to the $5,000 buy-in event. Vanessa Selbst was second in chips going into the final day. She was looking to repeat her victory of last year. There were some tough players for her to beat including Joe Tehan, Dan Shak and chip leader Tyler Kenney, who was looking for his first title. You can see how the cards fell on the NAPT channel.

Season 8 of the EPT has been in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. There are a number of video blogs covering the action. There are interviews with the players, a look at the nightlife of the Estonian capital and a host of other videos for you to enjoy.

PokerStars.TV brings you the best of the online action as well as the top live events. There is the best of the final table from both the $500,000 guaranteed Sunday Warm-Up as well as the Sunday Million, where ‘Ty4Stacks2′ won the top prize.

There are new videos being posted every day at PokerStars.TV, so add it to your favorites and see what’s happening in the world of professional poker.
