A list of the best poker columns from newspapers worldwide

Newspaper Poker Columns
United Kingdom:
The Daily Star poker column: All The Aces:
Okay, yes, we are slightly biased! You can find your absolute favourite poker column :-) everyday in the UK's fastest growing national newspaper, The Daily Star. And you can read it online here at the All The Aces poker column archive.
The Guardian poker column:
Victoria Coren's How To Play Poker column is published weekly in The Guardian and archived at the Good Gambling Guide here.
Daily Mirror poker column:
The Daily Mirror's sporadic poker column John Duthie's Poker Tips seems to only be published during the World Series of Poker. Am I wrong? (Sorry... not a big Daily Mirror reader!)
The Sun poker column:
The Sun's poker column Simon Young is the Suffolk Punch by, you-guessed-it, Simon Young is a regular feature. You can usually access his latest poker offerings online, however you will have to pay to access previous columns archived at The Sun website.
The Daily Telegraph poker column: I know they publish one or two poker columns. I know that Doyle Bruson joined them in writing a poker column for them. Other than that I am clueless. I guess I will have to buy the paper this week! Though its a bit of a yawn!
United States of America:
New York Times poker column: The NYTimes publish James McManus's weekly poker column. To read it online you need to register (for free) as a member of NYTimes.
