Vegas Knights 54 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think Humberto Brenes should be one of them. He's getting up in years and if he doesn't get in this year he might never get in which would be a shame. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 none of those people belong in a hall of fame. maybe eli elezera, but the rest no chance. Link to post Share on other sites
Vegas Knights 54 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 A lot of players don't know this but there is a Poker Hall of Fame display area next to Binions Poker Room in downtown Vegas. It has pictures of many of the HOF members. On a side note, my script "Vegas Knights" has a scene right there in front of the display. Link to post Share on other sites

Vegas Knights 54 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 what's the scene? The 2 main characters are standing in front of the Hall of Fame Display and talking about some of the HOF members whose pictures are in front of them. I told you this thing has a lot of poker in it. Maybe to spice things up we could have Phil Hellmuth suddenly appear in the background, look around to make sure no one is watching, and then start cleaning his picture with Windex.

I told you this thing has a lot of poker in it. Why don't some of you write your own version of how the above scene could play out and I'll judge the winner.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't think you judging the winner would be at all objective. Let the people decide. Link to post Share on other sites
Vegas Knights 54 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Sounds like a shitty scene. It seems odd a poker enthusiast like yourself wouldn't be curious about a movie scene where the 2 main characters are discussing Poker Hall of Fame members. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 what's odd is the number 7. Link to post Share on other sites

So you don't believe a poker playing author who lived in Vegas many years and wrote a poker themed screenplay set in Vegas could possibly write a movie scene set in front of the Poker Hall of Fame display in Las Vegas, and that it must be a joke. I don't quite understand your reasoning but sorry, there is a scene in the script in front of the HOF display at Binions. If the movie is ever made maybe Binions would give the production company a good deal considering the publicity they will get out of it. The same goes for the Mirage, the Rio, and the Hard Rock where there are scenes. Link to post Share on other sites

TrainRay 1 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just want a honest opinion... is Chris Moneymaker hall of fame material (as a poker player) ? Link to post Share on other sites
Vegas Knights 54 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just want a honest opinion... is Chris Moneymaker hall of fame material (as a poker player) ? Here's MM's own opinion: "I don't really fit the qualifications for the Hall of Fame as a player. I don't really play high stakes, I don't grind full time and it's never been my desire to. I know I shouldn't really get in the Hall of Fame as a player, but people can see how I've helped the game grow, that I've been somewhat of a stabilizing force in terms of bringing online poker legislation to the US, that I do what I can do and I've done my fair share for the game. So maybe I deserve to be in the Hall of Fame for that, not just for playing the game." https://www.pokernew...-fame-25875.htm http://joeingram1.liquidpoker.net/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
