Sure did appreciate Simon deleting inoffensive discussion on the post about this on his Facebook wall yesterday. Maybe I wouldn't have wasted my time writing anything on there if I knew the only acceptable opinion to have was "Go Devilfish!"
Anyway, I'll reiterate what I said on there yesterday. Yes, he gets my vote for the final 10. However, I would be pleasantly surprised if he gets in the top 2 this year as opposed to people who have been nominated every year for the past few years, such as Huck Seed and Jen Harman.
As for 2016, Ivey is a lock, because apparently despite having a "Stood the test of time" criteria, you also need to be over 40, which is completely ridiculous, because nobody would've had a problem with Ivey and Negreanu being in there 5 years ago. The voting system will make the second nomination a crapshoot, because Ivey will get like >90% of the votes, and the other guy will be "Who does the guy who didn't use his vote on Ivey like?"
I struggle to see him actually getting into the Hall of Fame before 2017. However, I'm happy to be wrong.
