UK Poker Hall of Fame

[dino1980]

Whilst reading the PokerNews updates of the Aussie Millions I was intrigued to learn that there's an Australian Poker Hall of Fame, which was started in 2009. Their criteria for entry is as follows:

Are current or former residents of Australia or New Zealand,
Have demonstrated outstanding and extended service to the game, bringing credit to Australian Casino Tournament Poker, and/or
Have displayed significant player excellence.

There's also of course the Poker Hall of Fame, (there are no Brits currently in it or non-Americans from what I can tell) their criteria for entry changed in 2009 (public vote) and is currently:

A gambler must have played poker against acknowledged top competition,
Played for high stakes,
Played consistently well, gained the respect of peers,
And stood the test of time.
Or, for non-players, contributed to the overall growth and success of the game of poker, with indelible positive and lasting results.

So it got me thinking would a UK or UK & Ireland Poker Hall of Fame be viable and would it be a good idea?

Lol, well a Hall of Fame would obviously reward longevity, rather than be an award based on the past 12 months, although the European Poker Awards do have the lifetime achievement award too.

You were thinking they could be awarded personalised number plates?

I am awaiting the west Bridgford poker hall of fame, if we were start today inducting one a year I should get my nomination sometime around 2050.

No.

Even if you were the inaugural inductee?
