    What a coincidence - Two guys called Ferguson write about poker

    Just tidying up some notes, and I found that two people called Ferguson have written books and papers about poker and game theory.

    One is the famous Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.

    and another is Prof Thomas S Ferguson of UCLA.

    and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a third Ferguson, or even a fourth or more, interested in poker.

    Anyone here interested in poker? If so, is your surname Ferguson?

    And so to bed - I'm starting a new six month contract in Farnborough tomorrow. It'll be like the Elysian fields compared with Slough, where I've been for the last month.

    I'd go with Chris Ferguson, after all he's the one who has won millions of dollars and a world title. Those who can't, teach, bit like your professor and our local maths "guru".

      There's five brothers in our street called Smith, in a two bedroomed house (I dont know where they all manage to sleep) and they play monoploy a lot.

      As everyone knows,a full house beats a pair - so does anyone else know of a family of smiths who play boardgames ?

        I would if I could get in a game with these two:



        I'd lose, but what an enjoyable game it would be!

          Then there are morons like you, who being ignorant cretins, can neither teach nor make large sums of money.

                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
