Why not try Stan James Poker Chris "Jesus" Ferguson is one of the most recognizable players in professional poker. His trademark western hat, beard, long hair and old west clothing gives Chris an "Old Time" poker legend appearance. He begin playing serious poker in 1994 and as with most things in his life he became a student of the game and studied everything available on poker Chris's introduction to gambling came at a very early age when his father, Thomas, who teaches statistics and game theory at U.C.L.A. (his mother also has a Ph.D. in mathematics), played games with him when he was a kid. He continually analyzed games or invented new ones, so he grew up with a very strong background in gamesmanship. Even back in the fourth grade, he was playing poker and in high school. Early in his college career, he took occasional trips to Las Vegas where I played $1-$2 and $2-$4 games. By playing very tightly and waiting for extremely good hands he found that he could make $4 an hour but he played for the challenge, to see if I could make a living at poker. After coming into a large amount of money through by winning a big blackjack tournament he decided to take a step up into higher limits. Chris is one of the most charismatic players in the game and always takes time to sign autographs and pose with his many fans. Chris is also well known for card throwing ability. He can cut through fruit and vegetables using a normal playing card.... very handy! Watch this clip from a Full Tilt Poker advert Poker players (cards players) profilesOnline Poker |
