Ted Forrest is known as a spooky poker player, meaning that no other poker player can really figure out how he plays the game. His strategies don't seem to follow any particular known past, similar in some ways to such players as Gus Hansen. But unlike him, who everyone knows will play trash cards, Ted still remains a mystery. In the 2006 National Heads-Up Poker Championship, in the most exciting match up of the series, Ted faced off against Sammy Farha, a brilliant player who was known for being able to get inside the head of his opponent. So what happens when someone who is an expert at getting inside other players heads runs in the someone whose head seems to be impenetrable? Lots of action.

Take, for instance, Phil "The Poker Brat" Hellmuth.
