**Poker Translation and Web-Site Localization**

I'm a regular poker player (Gold level), playing Texas Hold’em FL/NL/PL, SnG and MTT, I'm also familiar with Seven Card Stud, Omaha, Ruzz, Draw Poker. I've read many articles and books about poker concepts and played thousands of poker tournaments, so I know the game very well and can provide high quality poker translation.
