Poker Legends Hall of Fame
Poker Hall of Fame
The Poker Hall of Fame adds another player's name to its list of poker legends every year.
Since its inception in 1979, the Hall of Fame has honored thirty-three gamblers, one for each year, with the exception of 1993 and the year 2002, 2005 & 2006.
All but two, Hoyle and Hickok, were twentieth-century card players, and many of them road gamblers who followed the game wherever it would take them.
Hall of Fame Standards
Selection Criteria for the Hall of Fame is straightforward and the standards are high:
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.
