Some of you may have noticed that Cos's avatar is changing week by week documenting the people who inspire him, teach him and in general are just general poker superstars.
I would like to suggest that he posts a photo and a short description of why Cos defines them as great on this thread.
So far we have
Week 1 - Chin Chai Koh aka Chinese Frankie
Week 2 - Waheed Ashraf aka Wadey aka 'Is that how you play ace king'
Week 3 - We will wait and see!

I'm not sure those two need a short description as to why they are on an all time greats list.It would be like being asked to explain why your list of top ten footballers features Maradona and Pele.

Ok well, week one's legend was Chinese Frankie who I did a lot of admiring this weekend at DTD.
Here he is in all his manly beauty. It's just a shame he's wearing a hat so we can't see the amazing new haircut.
Frankie earns his place amongst legends of the modern game because he is one of the funniest guys to share a table with. Not only does he have a rare talent for poker but he has mastered the art of not breathing which allows him to talk continuously.
A few highlights of him at a cash table last night: Red Dog and Mitch were there witness. I also welcome any blondes to share Frankie stories.
Earlier on in the evening I tell him he's my hero. I proceed to tell him that I'm gonna contact Howard Lederer and Frankie will soon be on all our screens. Later in the night the man himself doesn't realise I'm at the adjacent table and starts telling Tom and his table about GreekStein is in discussions with Howard Lederer and he'll soon be a red pro!
Britney Spears comes on the TV and Frankie turns around and says to the table, 'Wow I can't believe she still got it'. Frankie soon silences the table's discussion of Britney when he says 'I would love to smell her'. His comments of what he'd do with a straw were particularly disturbing.
All hail.....Chinese Frankie.

I love Frankie. At the sky poker tour thingy at DTD he was sat playing cash, when a couple of the presenters came and sat at the next table with some of the punters to play a sit n go. Frankie offered 66/1 on michelle orpe winning. I said I'd have some of that and he quickly added 'maximum bet 1p'
