Card Player magazine is widely considered one of the leading authority sources on anything related to the game of poker. Publishing poker news, professional player blogs, and a comprehensive tournament section covering everything from players to WSOP and WPT schedules and results, Card Player's off-line and online magazine has primarily catered to the land-based poker circuit. That is all about to change real soon, for Card Player recently launched a new section on their website devoted entirely to online poker content.

Card Player has issued a press release, offering a breakdown of the new services. These include an "Online Player of the Year" section, which like their "Player of the Year" for the land-based poker circuit, will rank the best tournament finishers in the internet poker community. Players participating at the biggest online poker rooms, such as Poker Stars, Full Tilt, Bodog and Ultimate Bet, will be awarded points based on their tournament performance. Points will then be used to rank players toward the top honor of being named Player of the Year.

In addition to player rankings, Card Player will have a section devoted entirely to publishing detailed tournament results, including stats on active players - unknowns and pros alike. Upcoming tournaments will also be listed in a comprehensive listing that will allow players to filter tournament listings with several variables like the type of game, buy-in, tournament type, start time and online poker room.

In addition to Card Player's normal resource of poker news, tips, playing strategy and game rules, the website now features reviews of online poker rooms that players themselves can contribute their two cents to via a user rating mechanism on the reviews page. There is also a Poker Beat section, which is devoted entirely to happenings taking place within the online poker gambling industry.
