This week's topic was: Poker Icons!
Entry #1
Poker Icons: Chris Ferguson
I’ll prelude this by saying I have an inordinate fondness for men with beards. This probably goes back to some childhood association with security and prominent male figures, but I don’t want to go into that and I’m sure you don’t want to hear it.
So, aside from the fact I think Ferguson is attractive (or ‘hot’ as the kids say) he’s also an amazing poker player – obviously. He’s won multiple bracelets and he’s managed to keep it clean, cool and collected – unlike some other professional poker players.
He’s also brilliant, which doesn’t always go hand in hand with being a pro, though I suppose for the most part pro players aren’t idiots. He’s got his PhD in Computer Science from UCLA and oh yeah, he’s hot.
Chris doesn’t know it yet, but he really wants to be at my table. What I lack in skill, I more than make up for in character. Besides, he’s probably tired of playing with people with real ‘talent’ by now.

Entry #2
I am my own Icon by Jimmy Morgan
I decided to tell you all of my hardships in the poker world. Anyone who has played with me has realized that I am the loosest player at the table. This fault, along with my lack of common sense has caused me to lose quite a lot of money on poker sites in the last few years. If it wasn't for my wife and girlfriends out there earning decent money in the medical field, I would not be able to continue to play with you all. I would hope that in the near future if I am at your table, you’ll FOLD. Do it for my 11 month old son, who by the way, is posted in the green room under the backstage heading of, "Happy New Year". If you cannot find it in yourself to donate money to me, then help my wife realize her dream on having a sane man in the house. This is why I am my own poker icon, I am not afraid or ashamed to beg for your money.
Thank you,
Jimmy Morgan
