'Top Pair' not among the Best Poker Magazines
Wednesday January 11, 2006
Now, I know there's a lot of new poker magazines that have launched and I don't always notice them when they first hit the stands, but somehow I missed "Top Pair" magazine until just now. And what was I missing? Not much. Mainly, it's a magazine filled with girls in bikinis and underwear talking about "what it would take to make her final table" *wink* *wink*, and random celebs and celeb poker tournaments, with a light smattering of poker advice and interviews. In the January issue, they do talk to WSOP champ Joseph Hachem, but other than that, the "poker news" is filled with hot items like Jen Tilly winning two titles -- the most recent of which happened in, um, September. Wow, that is breaking news.
If you're looking for scantily-clad ladies, you'll probably be better off with a Maxim or FHM type magazine, and if you want to read good poker content, try out one of these great poker magazines. In my opionion, it's magazines like Top Pair that make people say the poker boom has peaked.

Is Top Pair still published?
Top Pair Magazine was published by Jill Ann Spaulding. She was previously in Playboy and became popular after releasing a book about her life in the mansion. She mentions in the the book that she performed oral sex on Hugh Hefner daily and was paid $1000 each time he achieved an erection.
Actually Mike I read the book and it NEVER says that she performed any kind of sex on Hef. She was only a witness to the sex at the mansion. She was there for about five days and also went to several mansion parties. Here’s a tip…why don’t you actually read the book and take your head out of your ass.
