Poker tournaments have been proliferating at a pace so inspiring that it\u2019s hard to imagine people not growing fond of the game. The continuous influx of tournament has been quite revitalizing for the entire industry. Players, observers, and the occasional hot-heads are all enthralled with the popularity poker has attained as a game of skill and hobby<\/a>. But how do you seal the deal on that<\/strong>? How do you know that the popularity trick is really working? A new Poker Hall of Fame for the online lot is how.<\/p>\n Yes, as online poker has begun to proliferate online, so has the question been raised \u2013 shouldn\u2019t we have a way to commemorate the pros that battle over the wire, day in and day out? The answer is an affirmative yes. A new online Poker Hall of Fame<\/strong> has arrived. Enter OPHOF \u2013 the website which didn\u2019t bother with fanfare at all.<\/p>\n And so, the new Hall of Fame is in fact quite a simple one. You have a list of 30 poker pros<\/strong> and you may vote for three of these, who will then be inducted into the hall of fame. The list seems to be up to snuff, albeit a few omissions are rather surprising. <\/p>\n For instance, the creators have left out Daniel Negreanu<\/strong> and Gus Hansen<\/strong>. Some may say that Negreanu is not really worth to be part of the Hall of Fame, because of his habits to spend everything he makes, either on poker or elsewhere, but with $20 million in earnings<\/strong>, it\u2019s not difficult to imagine why he would be a good fit for the list. Plus, Bonomo has recently dislodged Daniel Negreanu as he won $10 million<\/a> in the WSOP $1 million buy-in event.<\/p>\nPoker Has Gone Online and so Has the Fame<\/h2>\n
