    Good list except for Miami John and Matusow. Matusow likely gets in after his death, maybe.

    They really need to at least raise it to 2 enshrinements a year I mean when it’s harder to get into the Poker HOF compared to Cooperstown or Canton something’s wrong. You can’t tell me inducting 2 is gonna magically degrade the HOF. Plenty of folks very worthy including Savage with his massive contributions to poker.

    Old AP is certainly making his Bid for both the Poker and NFL HOF with these recent shenanigans!

    At least he didn't cut and use a Switch this time...

    imagine the message it would send if matusow got in.

    honestly i think its because he crashed out on sportsbetting (didnt he?) and hasnt been super relevant for a minute. his last big win was 17k in a 10k wsop razz tourn 6 years ago, and the last event he took down was 2014.

    in the last 7 years hes made like 12k.

    It's not a crazy choice but I don't understand the rush to induct 40 year olds when they are still playing and winning. I would have liked to see Ted Forrest get in and Isai Scheinberg should have been inducted years ago. Pokerstars honouring Full Tilt balances was the greatest single act of philanthropy in the history of poker.

    Bryan Micon's induction is long overdue.

    The goal is winning money, right?

    I think the Grinder Michael Mizrachi should be next without a doubt.

    7 bracelets and i think a few WPT TITLES

    HeS WON THE 50K PPT 4 times
