[vpFREE] Re: WMS "My Poker" not looking so hot

Here's the link to the wizard's web page on this game:

Shack also has a 6 minute you tube video linked.

T'is a fun video. All you got to do is watch the last couple of minutes because he doesn't get a "winning streak" until the end.
Shack calls the game boring. Looks frustrating to me.

Watching the video didn't even make my arms start to itch.
