Poker – May the best one win!

Poker – a long time it was associated with western romance and smoking guns, it stood for shady characters and Mafiosi, who squeeze money out of poor fellows. But the views have changed. Today poker is a well established sport and a respected strategy game. The secret is not to be lucky and to get dealt better cards than your opponent. It is about dominating the table and knowing how to play the cards, no matter how good they are.

MyM's Snotty has just released this masterpiece of a video highlighting the
Canadian power house Testie. This video is beautifully edited one of the best
SC movies ever made in my opinion, But no matter how you feel about this video
it is very far from bad.

This video focuses on Testie's Terran games and have allot of great highlights
from some very prostegious players such at Legionair Mondragon and much much
more. This video is a must see for any Starcraft fans

I'm sure anyone viewing this is more then
familiar with Testie and his accomplishments so i'm not going to get into them
but for anyone interested search him up in the GosuGamers data bace for his
impressive list of achievements in the SC world.
